You held an average job, did not get to the top of the corporate ladder, did not start a business, do not desire family or babby... and are looking forward to your own death.

Is this the time to kill self, or do you wait it out until you're 60?

It isn't, but society thinks otherwise. Lots of people think that if you raised a family and have relatively normal adult children, you're an accomplished man/woman. I have acquaintances who spent their 20's, 30's and 40's raising their children. The women did not do anything other than that, and today they show their offspring as a HUGE accomplishment. Fucked up shit.

I don't want a fucking family. My family was a fucking nightmare already, don't need to repeat the story. You make it sound like a PhD would be a glorious thing to do. I had a close friend who was doing a PhD in Columbia and she was ready to kill herself because of the bureaucracy and her inability to express her ideas. She literally spiraled down into a horrible depression just by being there.

And I do like the money, so it seems pretty far-fetched to get to do that. My sad reality is that I need a shitty job to enjoy the things that I like and live a lifestyle that makes me comfortable.

I'm sure there are worse things that have happened to people other than you not being the center of attention.

i don't understand why a confirmed bachelor would care very much about money tbh. the only reason I care about money is to provide a stable family life. if I decided it was not going to get married or have kids id be a park ranger or a fireman or a bartender at a beach bar or some shit. I enjoy having nice things and being "comfortable" but wagecucking isn't worth it just for that.
