Life is depressing as a 33 single man with no wife and kids

Yet I don't really want a wife and kids. I can barely survive on my own. Life is a struggle and I don't want to bring another person into this broken world.

I suffer with severe social anxiety and it sucks so much. Humans are social animals. Naturally people are born being able to talk to others. I am missing that natural trait.

Socializing just does not come naturally to me like the majority of the population and it is very demoralizing.

It's like being born not able to breathe. People breathe and socialize naturally. I don't socialize naturally.

Same. I'm probably going to join a church and a book club. I thought going to the gym would help but I just end up blocking everyone out and try to do my workouts.

@Lostpoet Church you'll definitely meet people there. I go to Catholic church but I don't really talk to anyone as I struggle on and off with faith, it's not rock solid.

@cyberdude28 My faith is rocked too and I have an added variable that keeps me from going. I've gone to a couple of churches where it seems like someone is playing a game with me.

@cyberdude28 Perhaps you'd be better off trying the Society of Friends, the Quakers.
