It's just so disgusting that even heartbreaks make me feel envious and sad, infact they make me feel even worse.

It is one thing to feel envious of people in happy relationships, but there is a worse feeling. Knowing I never got to be someone's first love or first heartbreak. As a woman entering her 20s, it makes me profoundly sad that no man ever had that puppy like innocent love for me, someone who cried for me. I just never got that peak emotion love.

I have so many huge problems in my life and have missed out on a whole lot. Extremely abusive parents, never even having friends, a severely restricted and bad life. It is shameful that the thing which makes me feel worst is simply that I never got to be someone's first love or heartbreak. The one they remember for life.

I see women talking about how they thought a man loved them so much, and after getting their heart broken, they will never feel the same. He changed them, and vice versa. But I never even got to experience that. Because of my restrictive, abusive upbringing, I could not even get that the experience of first love and heartbreak. I know it sounds very shallow, but still.

This hurts so much. When men online share experiences about their first heartbreak, for some reason I feel worse knowing I never got that love, and now at this age I probably never will. I know I should worry about my other life issues, but this actually hurts.

I know I might sound immature, but the way men talk about their first heartbreak and how love changed them, and vice versa for women, makes me feel awful. I never experienced that passionate love and never will. I know a lot of people say teenage love does not stay anyway, but that is not the point. Even if it does not last, the heartbreak and the memories definitely stay for a long time. No man ever got those memories from me, and they never will. Like the people who experience teenage love or their first love, they just remember them for forever but I am not in any man's memories.

I probably will not ever get into a relationship anyway. Even if I do, a 0.001% chance in a few years, it will just be diluted, scarred love. It will not be like how they loved their first woman. They will already be scarred from their previous heartbreak. It feels kinda awful that the person whom I will ever if love will be anyway just heartbroken or have memories of his first love. I would just be some random woman in his life. I never got to be someone first love or heartbreak and will now don't even get to be at this age. Will never experience the passionate love or heartbreak.

Looking for sad/depressing Pakistani dramas. Dramas with struggling/suffering main characters

Can someone please suggest me some sad dramas?

I'm looking for dramas where the overall theme is just sad or depressing. It doesn't have to be romantic or any specific genre, I just want something where the leads are struggling, suffering, or have a really difficult life for any reason.

It would be even better if it's more life-based or realistic. It doesn't need to have the best script or anything, I'm mainly looking for characters who are going through hardships. If they have a healing arc, that's completely fine too.

Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Alif also seems like it might fit the vibe from the edits I've seen because the female lead seemed to have a difficult life. Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan also seems like it might be similar to what I want to watch. I haven't seen it yet, but people always say it's really depressing. Another drama that probably fits, even though I don't plan on watching it, is Dastaan.

Among romantic dramas, Yeh Dil Mera and Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai also fit what I'm looking for.

So if anyone has recommendations where the core theme is sad, or the main characters are constantly struggling or suffering, I'd really appreciate it. Even someone like Kashaf fits to some extent, but I'm looking for something closer to Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. The ending can be happy or sad, I don't mind either, although I probably prefer sad endings. Just looking for more dramas to add to my watchlist. Thanks!

18F, Delayed education and career due to circumstances. When will things improve according to my chart?

https://preview.redd.it/wvoclgrcbfeh1.jpg?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33ea608d4f757773da8c432a1712e7f7fdcbd183

Due to personal circumstances, I'll be joining college after 2–3 years, so I feel quite behind in life, when it comes to my career and even overall life in general.

When are my circumstances likely to improve according to my chart? Is there any possibility of a decent career and a relationship? Around which age or year are things likely to get better, or do they become more difficult? Also, which career option would be most suitable for me?
