I don't know about the rest of you guys but I've gotten to the point, well i've been at this point for a while where i can't even make normal friendships with people my own age.
I'm 35+ and it's very akward to have even platonic relationships with people. People my age already are having their 2nd or 3rd child. They are past the "party time" in their lives and do things like go boating and having middle-age activities. When they meet up it's as couples. The only people my age who aren't married are usually gay. So I hate being friends with anyone because the shame I feel is so overt. I'm always the alone one or people ask me why i'm not dating anyone. I try and act like it's that i'm trying to live the open bachelor life but deep down inside I think people know that i'm just and incel loser or gay. I most prefer them to think I'm gay, these days being gay isn't as bad as being the creeper loser incel.
The thing is I'm been so isolated and alone so long now (about 20 years) that In a way I can tolerate the loneliness more than the anxiety I feel with people. I'm at the point in my life where I'm trying to lose the few friendships I have left because I'm so ashamed of myself.
All I really have left is my mom, it's the only reason I do things outside of work. I don't know how i'll cope when I'm truly alone, she's in her 70s and I know that I'll be lucky to have her 10 years from now.
