If we can avoid massive collective issues that would be appreciated as there is very little agency the individual has to address those and that helpless ess can often extend to the more solvable individual matters we all grapple with but also occasionally rise to conquer.

Unable to find love or happiness.

Have you tried drugs? They won't get you either but maybe you won't care if you're zoinked all the time.

Can't access traditional drugs. But I've tried other things. They temporarily numb the pain. But it comes back and hits even harder....

Completely anecdotal but...

I found a lot of happiness in my my hobbies. Rock climbing has been just perfect for me.

I found my wife on tinder, so maybe give that a try.

Good for you but I doubt I'll have any luck on any dating apps.

I do concede that I am probably not the usual. But it's probably at least worth a try.
