Does anyone else feel like they’re just existing instead of living?
I’m 22, and lately I’ve been wondering if anyone else feels like this.
I haven’t been in a relationship for years. My life is pretty simple: I work most days, come home, and spend my free time playing video games. I don’t really use social media, I’ve never been to a club, and I genuinely don’t enjoy places with lots of people. Crowds just aren’t my thing.
I know part of the problem is that I’m not putting myself out there. It’s hard to meet people when your routine is basically work and home. I can’t really complain about being single while also avoiding most social situations.
Right now it’s Sunday night. I’m sitting at home, a few drinks in, and just thinking.
Do girls like the quiet life too? Are there actually women out there who’d rather sit somewhere peaceful, maybe watch the stars, drive somewhere with a nice view, or just talk for hours about anything and everything? Deep conversations, random thoughts, life, dreams… the kind of talks where you lose track of time.
Sometimes it feels like everyone wants loud parties, clubs, and constant attention on social media, and I just don’t fit into that world.
Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. Maybe I’m overthinking it.
Has anyone else been in this position? Did things eventually change?
