Sharing his story, he wrote, “Feeling saturated in life. I am a 24-year-old software engineer in a FAANG company with 2.9 years of experience in Bangalore. I make a good living (58lpa before taxes) and have a somewhat relaxed work life.”
“However, I am always overwhelmed and lonely in my life. I don’t have a girlfriend to spend time with, and all of my other buddies are preoccupied with their lives. Even my work life is monotonous because I have been with the same company from the beginning of my career and do similar things every day, and I no longer look forward to fresh challenges and growth opportunities at work.”
“Please advise on what I should do to make my life more interesting,” he asked.
His post has started a debate on social media with several users giving their opinion in the comment section.
“Some of my friends said the same thing to me, and I too felt it several times. Feeling lonely, saturated, anxious all the time,” commented a user.
Another user wrote, “The struggle is real.”
“He is lonely and longs for human connection. And it’s a valid need for everyone, irrespective of salary. Loneliness is the curse of modern life and we don’t acknowledge it,” wrote another user.
“When I was a kid I thought grown-ups are free and happy and here I am grown up and I find everyone is kind of lonely and depressed albeit earning big,” wrote another user.
“I am pretty sure finding a girlfriend isn’t a solution,” commented another user.
