Personally, when I was 21 and bummed I didn't have a girlfriend, I would have appreciated someone, anyone, telling me to MTFU and get out into the real world rather than sit in my room and whine about it on a forum.
While I appreciate that there's a chance that the OP does have a serious case of depression, I feel that it's a lot more likely that he just needs to get out there and enjoy himself. In either case, there are plenty of replies here catering to that possibility, so I don't think this reply is out of place here.
- weego 16y agoI agree, when I was 19 and left my web dev degree with no real plan other than knowing that Uni wasn't for me I wallowed for a long time and ended up with some really crazy thought cycles from keeping myself isolated. The best thing my family could have done which is what my Mother did which was to tell me it was time I was paying rent and I had to get a job. Of course, once I had a job she never asked for rent as that was never her intention. And once I had a job, I realised that the thing I was doing was not my future which drove me to get on with stuff I liked. 18 months later I was in charge of the web dev graduates at the agency I worked at.
