Feeling stuck in life at late 20s and so depressed about it

Its like everyone is moving on with their lives while im stuck unemployed, with zero intimate relationships and still living with my family.. I feel so stupid since even my best friend can have a boyfriend, a stable job and lives independently from her relatives..

Sometimes i think "why did i have to be born, just to live like a complete failure?!" , i know that as i have autism and a mild social anxiety i have to be more patient/gentle with myself, but i still cant help having these uncomfortable feelings.. i just wanna die already, why its taking too long.. i have tried at 17 and failed, but now i get so guilty of even wanting to try again as my mom and gradma would be so destroyed by my self-inflicted demise.. idk what else i can do

Sometimes im sad i have never experimented romantic, reciprocated love in my entire life... i thought i did, but it was just limerence!

Well, what the title says! Now that i am not in the middle of a limerent episode, i dont feel attracted to anybody anymore.. i am autistic, so of course that was gonna influence the way i feel and think about human relationships.. the thing is im worried and sad that this can mean that i will be forever alone, as i couldnt have anything with my los (they were always unavailable to me) and my friends/some relatives have real partners and are not paying me much attention any longer.

Its like im damned to be stuck in a life and place i dont really like but i cant get out of! I cant be normal, no matter how hard i try. And everything started because i wanted to heal my mental health. Will i only be aromantic, this is it? Will i only know loneliness and disappointment? idk i needed to vent..

i feel so envious of my friend

I never thought I can feel so bad because of her getting a boyfriend, it makes me feel like a hateful loser. All I ever wanted was somebody to love me and I can’t even get that.
I want to cut her off my life, but I feel so guilty about doing that as she did nothing wrong to me. This is also a long term friendship, which makes things worse.
Nothing is the same anymore between us and i hate it. Our interactions leave me so drained, too! Idk what to do!
