I'm early twenties. I don't have any financial problems, in that I've enough money for everything I want (which isn't much, mindless consumerism won't bring me happiness)
DO you have friends and family members who you caqn count on to care about you? If not then people here may be able to suggest ideas to help
I don't. my parents see me as a trophy. I told them I'm unhappy with life, and their response was "you're doing well at university, just ignore the sadness and keep living." they also constantly pressure me to marry at some point, even though they know I'm not interested. they want me to fulfill their expectations, with no regard for my misery
they "care" about me when their expectations are at risk. for example, I dropped out of Oxford because my mental health went to shit, so they showed concern (i.e., they put me in a psychiatric hospital). but if I'm doing well, they just tell me to ignore the sadness
my wider family calls me occasionally for small talk. I don't know what to talk about with them. can't discuss thoughts of suicide as they'll report me. they aren't concerned with my misery if I'm doing well. they never ask. they ask "how are academics going?" and I reply they're fine, so they assume I'm fine
regarding friends. I have colleagues. and they don't hate me, but they don't care either. they talk about academic work. I've tried discussing my sadness. they either change the topic or threaten to report me
but there's the thing. I don't deserve to be cared about. that's the only explanation for why nobody cares about me. nobody has cared about me for the last 13 years. that's when my parents began focusing on their expectations instead of my feelings. and I haven't had any friends since either
I mean, I've a CGPA of 3.91/4.00 and have some money. that's it. that's all I have. that's not enough for a person to deserve care. even extremely wealthy or intelligent people can be shitty, boring humans who don't deserve care. and I'm neither extremely wealthy nor intelligent. and yet, I'm a shitty, boring person
anyway, sorry for the rant. um people where may be able to suggest ideas to help?
