wow great question. When I was younger I had a car I hung on to for too long. I don't think I have any now. I sell software for a living and I have to present Sunk Cost Fallacy at least once a month in busiiness meetings. I kinda disguise it as "cost benefit analysis" in discussion with legacy systems because the connotations are softer but it is S.C.F
It looks like you are college age--I have a degree but I know a few dozen people who flunked out of college as juniors and seniors. By the time they were sophmores, for many of them it was evident they weren't going to make it and school is expsensive.
I think a lot of people do that in the workforce. If more people job hopped, mostly when they are younger they would make more money. Not so much for gov jobs or if you one lands their dream job but for most people that is true.

@RenFur no its not how i was meant to be and by nature i want everyone to be happy.
issue is i'm constantly in my mind struggling between being bitter and not wanting to bother others with my bitterness. being annoyed because its not fair they made me bitter but others are innocent in all this.

@RenFur i have some friends but none on a psychological i need help or do you understand level, my best friend is same as me but is bitter towards everyone and glosses over or only jokes about it. we constantly joke about death.
both of us don't want to learn how to drive because both of us would just quickly turn the wheel and crash.
some family memebers understand but its not like they can do anything about.
plus i don't like airing my stuff as it could sour others days.
going back to the i don't want to ruin others days because of my misfortune.
the psychologists over the years did not help either.

@OogieBoogie the revelation was the cool stuff if it helped!
aah in my case i constantly think about death so maybe its different as its a permanent easy solution to every wordly problem.
Most of my fear came from having something and maintaining it! absolutely terrifying that is!

@popmol the revelation is that change is inevitable - and that we can't base ourselves on what we have/own/keep.
The more we have ....the more we want ....the more we spend time over trying to keep 'it' , or upgrading to better 'its'.
When so many of those 'its' mean nothing in the long run🤷
