Idk what I’m doing with my life

I work at McDonald’s Monday-sundays
I’m turning 31 this year
I don’t have any friends to hang out with
After work i sometimes go shopping with one of my coworker
I never had a bf and I’m a virgin
I still live with parents

At least it’s a job that you have but it’s fairly easy to try something else or get another job.

I usually hung out with my single coworkers after work because I often didn’t finish work until 10pm and the few home friends I had were going to bed. I worked week days and weekends. So I only saw other friends for a few hours on weekends anyway.

You never having a boyfriend or being a virgin then I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to go on a date with a coworker, at least it was for me.

Living with your parents at 31. Well don’t worry too much about that, save up for your own place or move out when you meet your future husband/wife and move in with them I lived at home for so long that my parents built me a house 😂.

@User123455 Most people won’t see you as a loser but might just think you’re disinterested in it or asexual or that there is only one person for you and you’re not interested in other people.
@User123455 Please do not call yourself that, the economy has made it tougher for your generation.

I'm 43 and have no clue either. I need a job..so at least you have that. 🦋 You'll find a bf soon enough I'm sure!! I am working on trying to get out there to date, I'm so nervous I'm not enough. It really messes with my mind so I never date. It's becoming heartbreaking watching everyone all around find love while I struggle to convince myself I'm ever enough. So you are NOT alone my friend 🪻
Get yourself a dog, or as an alternate, find someone older that has a dog that would let you take it for a walk every day. You will meet lots of people at the dog park and pets are just loving creatures and wonderful to hang out with.
Work on your self image too. Trim hair, get a style, maybe a colour, some nice clothes (can get pretty amazing stuff at the second hand store). Stand up straight, look seductive, exercise.. it all helps.

I dont think any of that is stuff to be ashamed of. Quite a lot of people our age and older live with parents. You can thank the housing market for that. As far as being a virgin, I hope your first time is with a lifelong partner. Most of us arent so lucky. And as far as job. Move up. Slowly but surely keep moving up the ladder. Youll find with better jobs and better pay youll have more financial security and more options and freedom to decide what it is you want to do

Sounds like you may benefit from an empowerment mentor.

Have you considerer a few classes at a local Junior College? They probably have a speech class and other mild engagement type classes. Get ahold of their catalogue and find something hat interests you. Some colleges have extension programs where most students will be adults.

If you go that route don't forget to hang around in the cafeteria for a while, a great place to find new friends.

@Heartlander I’m a loser because I never had a bf, still living with parents, still a virgin & don’t have any friends
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@User123455

to acquire friends, a good place to start is to be at places where others are likewise looking for friends.

Ok regarding a boyfriend, what type of guy do you want? Ask yourself what places he would go and hang out? What interests would he have?

Regarding working everyday, if you had more money maybe can work less. And yeah difficult to get boyfriend if busy working all the time. You save and have budget I hope. Hopefully you don't smoke, nor buy too many snacks and drinks.

And not financial advice but SPX6900 can go very high in price. Only about $1.50 for now, available at Kraken. If you buy like 100 of it which probably cost $150, portfolio can become $10,000 when price at $100. If price is $1,000 someday portfolio become $100,000. We'll see, maybe can go higher even.

Please don’t get down about it, you just need a plan, decide want you want and go for it. I did a professional qualification in my early 30’s just got to decide what you want.

Start making goals. Then create small steps to meet said goals. It's not easy but like others have been saying at least you're working.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
@Turtlepower I don’t work. I have maybe one friend left, and I don’t do anything. The only goals I can think of are taking up boxing, or singing lessons… I’m out
Turtlepower · 36-40, M
@Ferise1 ok fair enough. It helps to start at the goal you want. Start by trying to make it achievable. For instance, by the end of 2025 I want to make two new friends. Great, you set a goal and created a time boundary on it. Next, ok well whatever I'm doing now isn't helping me create/make new friendships so I need to do something different. So maybe this is where you pick out a hobby like boxing and look into a local gym that offers lessons. Go to said gym and see if you can talk to the person who offers the lessons and pursue said lessons and then introduce yourself to others at the gym in the process and pick their brains and then see if you have common interests in the process.

So tldr version basically make a SMART goal (Google it). I find it helpful to work backwards from what I want to figure out how to get there so that I'm making incremental progress.

Hope that was even remotely helpful.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
@Turtlepower yeah I guess, but making friends in Switzerland is an unrealistic goal. Everyone is antipathic. Maybe I should take out boxing but I don’t think I have the energy.

Quick putting yourself down due to what a society deems is normal. Just be yourself and be content in being a unique individual. Being part of the so-called norm never made any person special. Take your time and love your parents, appreciate the time you have together. Life moves quickly, just search for peace, it’s the most important thing in life.

30 is still young.. at least you are working don't be too down on yourself.. maybe take a local tech class?
User123455 · 26-30
@YoMomma yea but this year I’m turning 31
YoMomma ·
@User123455 still young .. i think you can enter the military till you're 32.. not that’d you'd want to especially now but just saying
Punxi · F
Meant in a good way: By your responses it seems perhaps it's not so relevant to place of employment nor social status.... Maybe what you should seek is insight, introspection and motivation to move forward. 🤷
Tumbleweed · F
But at least you're working, that's definitely something to be proud of.
And being a virgin is as well.
Discerning · 46-50, M
If you’re unhappy with how things are going, start taking steps to improve one thing. Maybe it’s friendship or work skills.
Turtlepower · 36-40, M
Also the bf and virgin part aren't big deals but it sounds like you're quite shy.

Mudkip · 31-35, M

User123455 · 26-30
@Ilena what do u mean
Ilena · 31-35, F
@User123455 Two not knowing what they are doing with their lives. Me and you.
GerOttman · 70-79, M
You and 20 million other millenials. Try the post office!
Bowenw · 61-69, M
Start making a list of goals, then devise a plan to achieve them.
What would something better look like for you?
User123455 · 26-30
@SinlessOnslaught idk what do you think
@User123455 I think culturally we put too much emphasis on material things and we're told if we just make lots of money and have no life then we're miserable and doing it right.

Which is kind of true because that's what we do. Our only value as human beings is the materials we can provide, or in women's case, also how good you look.

We have to find small moments to keep us happy, in our own ways.

Tbh honest, does anyone on this site?
We pour our hearts out on a site filled with diaper fetishists.
I used to be opening grill at one over 10 years ago, 60+ hours a week.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
I used to love working at McDonald’s. Isn’t it fun?
User123455 · 26-30
@Ferise1 sometimes
