  • That’s quite an interesting problem to have. I’ve never been very prone to nostalgia myself, partially due to there not being that many good memories. Not sure how to express this in English… I don’t know how I would have handled the whole dropping out, unemployment, being kicked out and being homeless. Or if I would have handled it at all. I’m impressed.

    The part I can actually relate to is “I just want to keep barely working and playing games and staying up late forever”, while also very much not wanting to be that way. (typing this at 5am) For myself, I’ve identified the likely problem to be that I no longer have any goals or dreams. There isn’t really anything I’d want to work towards, nothing I want to achieve. I can’t come up with anything either, so I’m kind of stuck in the present unable to look to the future, just trying to survive day at a time. Whenever I do think about future, I can only think about it in a negative way. I’m curious, how do you view future? Or do you have any leads as to how you might get out of your situation?

    If online friends aren’t your thing, this won’t be of any use, but when it comes to making real friends online… Based purely on my personal experience, I’d recommend some kind of an online penpal site. The ones where people look to chat with people from other countries or speaking other languages, for example. Differences between countries and cultures give a lot of interesting stuff to talk about, and easily leads to deeper conversations. Especially helpful if there isn’t much going on in one’s day-to-day life. And people there are generally looking for actual friends, more so than in most other online communities. I’ve made most of my best friendships on sites like that. Some of them I’m still friends with a decade later. (I just now realized it has been that long… damn.)
