27M. Only had one gf/partner my entireM life. Been depressed all year since she ended it with me in December 2021. A co-worker of mine, older guy in his late 50s, asked me what's been bothering me since I never speak to anyone. I just asked him what he would do when he was feeling down constantly when he was my age, and that I have some bad thoughts in my head. He said when he was my age he would drink, go out with friends and screw anything that moves. His boomer advice didn't help, it made me more upset. I have no friends or connections to anyone. I live an hour from the nearest town, and I'm always frustrated and angry that I'm wasting my youth away and can't explore or have fun with anyone. I'd still be a loser, but maybe in an older decade where online dating doesn't exist and women's expectations weren't impossibly high, maybe an average NPC kinda guy like me would have any luck on the dating scene. I thought maybe I could make an incremental amount of positive change for 2022, but nothing has changed. I feel completely broken.
