I am suspecting bipolar and/or depression for this, hence for posting on this forum.
This is a very long story about my problems, so excuse the mountain of text. I hate disclosing my true feelings to anyone, but I feel that this is a needed step to take in order to sort myself out before I can't take it anymore.
Before I start a few things about myself: I am a Humble 22y/o polite, respectful, responsible, accepting, honest, over thinking perfectionist. I would never describe myself as this openly in front of others, this is actually the first time and I know by the end of reading this you may think of me as an Arrogant and Angry person (a$$h0l3 rather), but in person I am not at all (maybe I am just good at hiding it idk). Also this "novel" was written over multiple periods to accurately contain all my thoughts/feelings in order to paint a bigger picture of my malfunction, so excuse me if certain parts seem to be trailing off.
Here it goes:
Since recent years I am angry, disgruntled, disappointed and lost on the inside. I feel without purpose and have zero clue what I want in life, not just career wise but life in general, too. Interestingly I feel good about being angry for the most part, well occasionally it depresses me too much and I usually go on a long road trip or hike by myself to feel better but I always go back to being angry and lonely.
I absolutely despise people my age and younger, (don't think much better of people older than me either). They all think so primitive, only caring about sex, money and getting the next "rush" in, whatever that maybe (parties, drugs, sex, booze etc). Everything in this society seems to be solely focused on those things mentioned: money, power and getting the next "high" which most often takes form in sex. Heck I am willing to even say that the desire for money and power is only there to be used to gain the next "high".
There is very little further insight to life and our surroundings, and only few think similar to me, and this makes me want every human to die for being so stupid and primitive. I may very well come across as arrogant here, but this sorry ass existence that we all live makes me hate everyone, I don't care about anything anymore, I just want to die at this point. I even like feeling this way usually! I think of my fellow human beings as lowly scum, and I just hate everybody. Now sometimes I get the odd emotion shift and I actually desire everything other people do too; a romantic partner, sex, happiness and overall a stable good life.
Heck sometimes I even get jealous of all the people being socially active, going to parties, being liked, being social, getting laid, getting drunk and downright silly and generally having good times, and sometimes I wish I could do that too! But these thought only last shortly and I come back to my senses and realize how primitive these things really are and how deep down I don't want them. Don't get me wrong, I don't have social anxiety, I have friends, I dated for a while, and if I really wanted all the things I listed I am sure I could get em with enough effort, but I just don't want them for the most part or at least so I feel now atm.
Please don't take this as a whine threat, because I understand my situation and know how I could get out of it, it's just I don't understand why I don't want to! I have no drive to get out and do normal everyday life stuff.
In all honesty after reading what I wrote so far I realize that I am largely consumed by jealousy of other peoples' lives; how they can be so contempt with going to work every day doing the same $#%^, every weekend partying (my age at least) and doing the same $#%^, being in the same place all the time doing the same things over and over and over. I don't feel I fit into this society at all if I compare myself to other same aged males. I am straight but don't oogle after women and don't only think of getting laid, I don't act like a complete idiot just to be funny. I think I am too serious in life, and this makes me not fun and therefore alone. Yet I don't feel like lowering myself to that primitive level just to fit in. I just feel purposeless in this universe and in this backwards society where materialistic gain takes precedence over knowledge gains, I guess that's just it.
Anyways ty for reading, writing this helped me clear a few things up, maybe someone out there feels similar or knows what's up. Maybe I have a mental disorder idk, let me hear your thoughts. If not, ty anyways! Sorry for sounding like an asshole, too, I am not like this in person. Everyone considers me a "nice guy" and a "good friend".
Meh, bollocks.
