It feels very lonely in this world....

All I can say is that you have to get out there and do things. Do things that you like doing - but things that involve other people. If you are into SEO, go to some SEO conferences (IRL or online or whatever). Or maybe mix it up a little bit and do something that you have always dreamed of doing. Or pick something random. Or think of your biggest fear and do something that tackles that.

Just from my own experiences, I would say the above could help a lot, but you have to literally push yourself out of the plane to take that first step and get yourself on a journey of self-discovery or self-improvement. Remember the world is full of people like you if you can't find them then its some piece of information that you just don't understand yet, about yourself.

Your story resonates with me in that I am also a very introverted person by nature - like sometimes I can barely have a conversation with someone without breaking out into a cold sweat and I could happily stay in a room on my own for a month, no issues whatsoever. But for me, the big change in my life was learning martial arts - I just wanted to change the path that I was on in life, and I randomly saw this poster for Kungfu in the local chip shop (no joke) and I forced myself to make contact with this club even though it was EXTREMELY alien to me, having never done any sport in my entire life.

I turned up for a taster session at this place and I so nearly turned back because I was getting nervous. But instead, I forced myself to go in and try something new.

Fast forward 6 years and I realise that it completely changed me as a person. I am still introverted but not nearly as much as I was. And where I was scared to even hit a pad when I started, I am now doing kungfu, kickboxing, sport karate competitions and so on without any issues at all. It has also improved my confidence as well as my business, my happiness and my overall outlook on life.

I'm not saying the answer is to take up martial art. But the answer is just to put yourself out there, conquer your fears and just explore the world without being closed-minded because however much you think you know about the world its such a tiny insignificant amount compared to what's out there and the same goes for people - every single person in the entire world is unique - don't forget that and don't ever think that you can categorize yourself and group together with others as being different and that you won't fit in with anyone else out there because there's always someone in the world that you will gel with when you least expect it.
Now if I can just find a bukakke conference to go to irl, will be set.
 
Work your 4-5 hours a day, keep making money, then maybe volonteer in an animal shelter for a couple of hours, meet animals in need and meet mostly lovely people with a great mindset to helping and overall human kindness. You will meet some really nice happy people there, stop focusing on meeting people with a money first mindset. You might even find your new match in life there .. ;-)
 
Get a girlfriend.
Get friends.
Go ride a bike.
Got get a skydiving license.
Oh and if you think you’re "introvert" and you can’t do the above... then make it your life purpose to become an extrovert and do whatever it takes to be it.

What’s the point of having money if your emotions are still shit?

Fix your emotions and work on them. This isn’t different from making money. Same principles, fix the problems and don’t quit.
 
Working on your own business can do this. It becomes very insular.

You make friends based on proximity.

When you're young, it's who you go to school with and anyone they know.

When you're an adult, it's who you work with and how they might know.

For people who work alone, you have to make a bigger effort to find and meet new people - that means go out to clubs or those online "meet ups" which seem really awkward, especially for introverted people. But if you don't make an effort, it's not like the world is going to get more friendly.

Money isn't everything, but it can afford you opportunities you wouldn't have elsewhere.

I'd suggest you transition from working from home to finding a job where you get to interact with others. You can always put what you're doing now as a side hustle.
 
Honest advise, self love is not the way, loneliness is addictive, once you start loving yourself no person will compare to that perfect person you already have. Hate is the way to go, make yourself miserable enough to find someone else to make miserable.
Jk above, I think you're making a good amount of money, try to reinvest and give yourself more goals, try to spread happiness among others, you'll find some happiness too. Visit some orphanage, adopt a pet. Anything that keeps you engaged. And best of luck bro.

you can do two things.

First: adopt a pet.

Second: if you are not happy, become an altruist and make other people happy with your money, pay their medical bills, give food to street people, give gifts to people, happiness is contagious and the people you help will infect you with their happiness and joy.
 
i

i am also overweight, how did you lose weight...daily exercise or fasting?
Take fresh lemon and ginger tea on an empty stomach first thing in the morning every day to burn fat. Go for exercise
Add cloves. Cloves is a nice smelling spice to your tea. It improves your mood and reduce stress.
This has worked for me very well must not work for everyone. Please consult with a doctor first if you have underlying health issue.
Then look out for less privilege kids in the orphanage home and spend some time with them. Listen more to them and interact. Also help them, you will feel goo doing that.
 
Here I probably agree with you, just continue to make the site further
 
I am a very introverted person because I have different likings and ways of thinking. I find it very difficult to mix with normal people.

For the last few years, i have been working on my digital marketing skills and currently, i am making upward of $40,000/month(you can see my journey threads). Two years back when i didn't have any money, i thought making money wud make me happy.

But now that i make this much money, i don't know why am i making money. Every week, the money keeps coming in my bank account and i don't know why am i making it, it just keeps accumulating(each week).
I haven't bought anything(for myself) in the last 2 years. It's been 2 years since i bought any clothes or any material things and don't have the urge to buy anything either.

I don't have any reason to get up in the morning as making more and more money isn't making me any happier.

It feels very lonely in this world as there is no one i could talk to about my digital marketing business and anything i am interested in(as less than 0.01% of people have been through this journey or wud understand it). And it's difficult to meet/find anyone who does.

My college friends are busy chasing 9 to 5 jobs, so, they could get settled in life. I cannot discuss business or motivation with them nor are they interested.

I thought traveling wud make me feel happier but it didn't.

I don't feel like getting out of the house.

Eating fast food is the only thing that gives me pleasure in life. Apart from that my life seems very empty. I don't see any purpose in anything that i do.

Has anyone been through these feelings? Knows any cure to it?
What your missing is God, true happiness and satisfaction only comes from him.
 
I'm going through the same, while i live in Karachi Pakistan the biggest city! And feels like I'm alone in a big town!

I might be having the solution for you.

But out of privacy and the solution having tendency to be against some people beliefs i cant reveal it here

come dm if u dont mind
 
I would like to reply in two points.

1. Those symptoms are common in people who do not have a mission
Probably making money was your mission 2 years ago, and if you get where you are i'm sure you were grinding and hustling, so you had the life and the hunger driving you.
Now you completed that mission, so it doesn't make sense anymore.

The only way to get out of that state, is finding a new mission.

2. I'm just starting out, but i'm aware i'll end up like you.
I'll do my best to get there in 2-3 years.
Then i'll just try to find a new mission, a new goal.
I have list of things "i would like to do" in life which are very resources consuming and i can't focus on rn.

Lastly, traveling gets boring as well.
I backpacked around for long time.
In the end, change the place, the language, the girl you're sleeping with... but it's all the same.

Need something that drives you.
