It's like when you've beaten all the main quests in a video game and now all that's left is the meaningless end-game grind that bores you to tears. All the interesting things that can happen in life (or didn't happen, in your case), have already happened: First day at school, first game console, first computer, first friend, finishing school, going to high school, first girlfriend/kiss/fuck (obviously this does not apply to us), first party, first car, first job, etc you get the point.
And then suddenly you're 30 and there's nothing left.
Everything that you 'looked forward to' during your youth has either already happened or it didn't. There's nowhere to go from here. You've finished the main quest and now all there's to do is watch Netflix and eat Cheetos until you invariably die from some bullshit. This is your 'life' now.
And the worst part, is that you can't even cope by just doing the same things you've always done. Your body doesn't have infinite stamina. You can get away with eating shit, drinking, etc while you were a 20something but now you need to stop or at least seriously cut back. Nothing will be as fun or feel as good anymore.
... should I pass the rope?
