I feel more pressure than ever to make something of myself.

I turn 26 in 6 months. I have no friends. I have no social skills. I have no clue what to do with my future. I have an engineering degree, but I don’t know what to do with it, I’m working a dead end job right now as a CADmonkey, I don’t feel like an engineer at all.

I’m starting to think about how quickly I need to move if I want to have children some day. If I move to the wrong city and screw up, I could lose years of my life. Then I’ll be 28 or 29, I still won’t have any friends. How will I have a wedding if I have nobody to invite? What if I don’t like my new job? What if I’m poor?

I feel like getting rich ASAP would solve all of my problems, but I also realize if I lose my savings right now my life would basically be over. Everything is on the line, I have to do everything right and very soon or I will ruin my life. If i pick the wrong job, if I can’t make friends, if I can’t make more money, I’m completely, totally, and utterly fucked for life.

I'm 26 and also have no friends and no woman but I have money from crypto. I moved to the wrong city when I was 21 now I'm stuck here. I'm just doing a lot of self reflection, identifying my biggest problems and taking small day-to-day changes to fix them. For example trying to fix my debilitating fatigue by eating paleo and being healthier. You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time.

You’re falling for the money= happiness meme. It can buy you happy experiences, but if you’re like some of us here you’re going to get very disappointed and depressed when you start to bring in the dough without knowing how to be happy with it.

Take your degree, get a job that can bring some spare cash to dump into crypto. Set a timeline to cash out. Then use the rest of your wage not used for food/rent/medical for a hobby to meet people etc. Don’t take life too seriously. Learn to ignore toxic people. Get a healthy group of friends with goals you can relate and aspire to. Chink cartoon drawings are not everything. Good luck anon

Having money won't give you friends, a girl friend or confidence. It actually doesn't solve any of your problems.

You're acting like everything is an absolute. Move to a city you don't like? Move somewhere else. In a job you don't like? Get another one. Nothing is set in stone, and no matter how much you fuck up, you get to try again. What's the worst that could happen?

Being social and maintaining friendships is a skill like any other. If you don't have any friends, try tagging along to after-work drinks. Or, join a hobby group or a sports team. Just don't go home each day and watch Netflix, that's boring. Being more interesting will give you self confidence. Ask people about themselves and try to find some common ground to talk about.

How will you make any friends if you won't try new things and take risks? You aren't a woman, you don't have to panic about settling down or being successful before you hit the wall. If you are successful then you will have ample opportunity to get married and start a family at 35 or 40. The way to develop friendships is to actually do things with that person, to not just share an interest but to pursue it together. Just being a reliable and humble person is 50% of the way there. You seem like you are still programmed into the "life plan" meme, but its just a meme. The government wants you to be a person who does a productive career and a raises responsible family that will pay taxes. It wants you to panic about not fitting its vision of success so you resign yourself to it. None of that matters. I don't mean that in a nihilistic way...quite the opposite, I mean that society's expectations of you are irrelevant illusions that exist only in your mind. Live your life without fear faggot.
