I'd like to begin by expressing my admiration for this forum. I've already gleaned valuable advice from this community, and I'm truly grateful to all of you.
As for the topic at hand...For quite some time, I've grappled with a sense of not quite fitting in. My values, moral compass, and overall perspective on life often diverge from the mainstream, and while I wholeheartedly embrace these differences, it can be a lonely experience. Particularly in my twenties, I've observed that many individuals my age tend to follow fairly predictable paths, often gravitating toward hookup culture and indulging in frequent drinking. Let me clarify that I have nothing against these choices, but they've never quite resonated with me.
From a young age, around 10 years old, I was passionately immersed in music and crafting my own compositions. During my teenage years, my dedication shifted towards the world of Boxing and MMA, where I even competed at a national level. In my late teens, I became deeply involved in powerlifting, achieving national recognition and success. By the time I turned 20, my focus transitioned towards my career and financial stability, leading me to pivot away from my long-standing career in construction. I decided to leverage my expertise and became a trainer, which, while I excel in, I recognize doesn't necessarily align with a fast-track approach to financial success.
Over the course of three years, I honed my skills and knowledge in the training industry. However, as I grow older, I find myself increasingly disconnected from the world around me. I'm capable of socializing, and I'm not disliked, but there's a palpable lack of deep connection with others. This isolation might have been exacerbated by a breakup a few months ago (an outcome I initiated). I've experienced bouts of depression but strive to keep pushing forward, as life doesn't pause to allow me to heal. In essence, I feel adrift and alone in my quest for purpose and financial freedom, and lately, nothing seems to ignite my excitement. Additionally, I'm grappling with a growing discomfort in solitude and sleep eludes me.
Any advice?
