Please tell me this isnt just me - but as a single adult with no kids, does the average person in that sit have too much free time with nothing to do?

Other than work, it just seems like i always have nothing to do. I guess it feels nice in terms of a sense of freedom, but it gets boring, and you kinda feel unimportant and lonely

That feeling is very real, and you are not alone in it. Having freedom sounds great in theory, but when there's nothing meaningful or enjoyable to fill that time, it can start to feel hollow. Sometimes we tie our sense of importance to how much we are needed or connected to others, so when work ends and there’s silence, it can feel like the world forgets we are here. That’s tough. But here's something to think about: this feeling is not a reflection of your worth. It is a sign that you are craving more meaningful connections, stimulation, or maybe even just a new rhythm to your life. Even small steps like exploring a new hobby, joining a group either online or in-person, or setting one small goal for yourself outside of work can start to bring back that sense of purpose and engagement.
I’d say that would vary dramatically from person to person. Some keep incredibly busy with family, friends, interests, hobbies, passions while others fall on the opposite end of the spectrum as you’ve described.

I’m 33, and I have never had this problem once. I have too much fun with my hobbies and friends.

Idk, I'm 32 and didn't have that feeling yet. But I still have a lot of things to catch up with.

What's stopping you from finding something to do?

@SpudMuffin i just want to be in a relationship honestly. Ive tried going out and doing stuff but cant find any women im attracted to. But the ones i am attracted to arent interested.
