I'm 34 and have zero of the life milestones that generally make people happy, like the ones I listed in the title. It's really caused a downward spiral over the years, as not having these things made me miserable and not seeing the point in the future when I don't have them, and so I continue doing nothing to attain them because I have no motivation to. At this point in my mid 30s, I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that my life is going to be miserable for however much longer I have the misfortune of living. The thought of being alive at 40, older, or being in some nursing home after a wasted life is life-ending fuel for me.
Are there guys here my age or older who are in a similar position but have somehow managed to turn their brain off to the endless negative thoughts about this lonely, miserable existence and are actually able to enjoy life?
