I was on track to start a new career with a personal hobby of mine but it has been derailed by the unrelenting stress of my now shit daily life.
My job is sucking the life out of me and I have no other alternative to make money or live. I am asked to do shift patterns that are absolutely killing my social life.
I then manage to go out and I feel like I can't be around my friends anymore without being completely stoned or drunk. They are still stuck in this teenager mentality of being a bit of a rebel but we are all approaching our mid 20s, One of my mates will be 30 soon and it's really making me fed up. I'm actually supposed to be going on holiday with them but idk I'm starting to think twice about it.
The main problem is one of my friends has broken up with his long term girlfriend and so is trying to go on a tinder rebound to boost his ego. He got completely rejected at the club a couple of weeks ago and so doesn't want to go out for drinks as much. When he does, he just sits on his phone bragging about how much tail he's now getting and doesn't even speak to us.
One of my friends actually commented on it yesterday asking him to put his phone down and spend some time with his mates and he got really angry. We went to some indie pub with a nice environment and this cunt goes to the jukebox and plays "angel of death" by slayer and completely kills the vibe. Tonnes of people start leaving the pub which means that the bartender lost a shit load of money last night and I had to apologize for my friends behaviour.
I'll probably be resented in that indie bar for the rest of my life now which means i'll have to go somewhere else. Fucking sucks man. Not to mention the entire vibe whenever we go out has this sickly sense of nostalgia for a bygone age we can't go back to. We go to the same locations we went to when we were like 18-20 and se the same fuckers we went about with back then but they look older, fatter, more worn out.
Is this what aging is all about? Is this normal for a guy in his 20s to go through? There is a growing part of me that just wants to get married and have children with a nice woman but since I'm not an oofy doofy or very handsome I can't even do that and just leave my mates in the dust to start a new life. It's as if I'm stuck in this absolute hellhole of bitter resentment, ego stroking and nostalgia.
