I'm probably overthinking here but even if I did had money or a job I would still be bored to the point of near suicidal misery because I will never to be able to have that fulfillment of self purpose. And if even if I had that I would still be living without the ability to connect with people. I'm not bothered by the fact that people don't like me. I'm more bothered by my inability to like people back. Without that, I dont know why I am alive really. Even if I do help people by living I will be bored and miserable out of my complete mind...unless there's a good show on TV worth sticking around for. Lucky me, I have a few right now that I wanna live and see how they end at least.
Anyone else feel like this?
I used to, very much so. Luckily I learned how to make life meaningful. Tricky stuff. If you have the skill of being able to be present and engaged with something, you can enjoy anything, or at least be interested. Boredom and depression are linkable, as is boredom, depression and inattention/distraction. I wonder, do you have an attention deficit disorder by any chance?

I remember as a younger man thinking (like Einstein, I learned later) that either everything has meaning, or nothing does. I think I went with nothing then, being in the nihilistic doldrums I was, but later I switched.
