I'm not gonna lie, I'm lonely as fuck. I just need a place to vent anonymously and this is the only place I can think of because all the other subreddits have a karma requirement. anyways, I have a 1.6 million net worth and i'm 31m. I've never dated in my life. I'm retired and don't need to work for the rest of my life. I have 5k a month in passive income. statistically and financially speaking, that puts me in the top 1% of my age bracket for being rich so there you go. yes, i've used money to go to therapy and they don't know shit about dating. they had prearranged marriages. usually their advice is to ask someone in the family to introduce me to someone. but they don't know that my parents are anti social and have no friends. my brother doesn't give a shit about me and my sister lives on the other side of the world. I think I fucked myself for life by not socializing and not dating in my primary years. I have been entirely focused on making the dollars (I gatta phrase certain things weirdly otherwise it won't let me post) ever since I was in middle school. I've been tested for autism, aspergers, any kind of mental disease and I'm apparently completely normal besides the adhd. Yes, i meditate, exercise, go on meetup hikes, sleep properly, eat healthy, but nothing is getting rid of this knawing feeling of loneliness that is killing me. I desire human connection so fucking badly. I don't even have any real life friends. If i could trade all my fucking money, literally everything I have to make a couple friends in real life, I'd do it in a heartbeat. without any feedback, it's hard to know what I'm doing wrong to cause people to ghost me or not want to be friends, or not want to date. But I THINK the problem is my personality. I don't have the social experience to know so I might as well have autism. what's the point of having money if i'm so miserable and lonely. Sure I can live comfortably, but I just desire connection in real life so badly. Been alone for so long and it hurts so much. fuck the dating at this point, I just want to make a single irl friend, but that's even an impossible endeavor. people already have their friend groups established and I'll never be able to be a part of it. I'll always be an outsider. I started too late with trying to make friends or dating. I fucked myself for life.

Edit:

I didn't think this post would blow up like this. I got hundreds of messages from so many people supporting me and wanting to help. It's honestly overwhelming and at the same time I appreciate it so much. I feel so invigorated to keep putting myself out there and keep trying. I'm sorry to all the people that want to meet, but I need to stay anonymous. I was at such a low point yesterday and now if feels like I have the strength of a million suns to keep going. I've been treated like shit most of my life so I was starting to lose faith in humanity and this proved me so wrong. If I hadn't said it yet, thank you to everyone that commented or messaged me their support. It's embarrassing me for to say, but I was literally moved to tears lol.

also, this was bugging me since a lot of people were confused by this, the 5k a month is not something i withdraw from the 1.6 million. This is something I spent years to establish and I already calculated the tax for you and it's roughly 5k a month. Outside of the passive income, I do options trading on the side with one specific stock selling calls and puts and make pretty consistent money from that which takes 10-20 minutes once a week because i just let them ride till expiration. No, i don't have any courses to sell and i can't give specific info for how this was accomplished or what the stock is otherwise everyone is going to do it.
