If you have a good career and if you're actually skilled and are not just living by "fake it till you make" it like 80% of the plebs, take a year off and do whatever the fuck you wanna do.
Your mind will be so rotten from all the wagecucking that you will need to set a clean travel schedule so you won't go crazy not living my the clock, but at least it will help you get out of your house and actually do things.
If you still feel the same after one year of freedom, it's over.
good luck user
This.
I'm 31 and somewhat in the same boat as OP but I've travelled extensively, found someone that loves me, I look really young for my age, healthy and physically fit, job is just OK, I spend way too much time online, but I'm convinced happiness is largely irrelevant to external circumstances, like, it comes from within, or something gay like that. I'm no more or less miserable than I've ever been.
First of all, why would you ask for help here? Consider a counselor.
It is okay to have PC hobbies, personally, I became too bored with NPC games like WoW over ten years ago, and League only held my attention because of RL friends who I enjoyed dicking around with.
You need to find a group to grill your stupid ass and keep you accountable, martial arts, biking, literally any creative or physical pursuit where you can connect with a real world community of real people. You are holding on to very silly beliefs about yours life and life in general - there is nothing to catch up to, all humans regardless of income or status share a common fate in mortality.
If you allow your mindset, opinions and outlook to be formed by an echo chamber of underage, NEET's, mentally ill, caustic toxic bitches, then what do you expect? Is it really that hard to grasp how much the environments you steep yourself in effect you?
Have you ever done anything charitable? Do you take basic physical care of yourself(I'm not talking about lifting, I mean taking a few walks a day, positive self care, healthy nutrition, valuing the natural relationships you have with family).
>If you have a good career and if you're actually skilled
Yea I think my OP made it pretty clear that that is NOT the case, user.

That's not to say you wouldn't be in a much worse state (psych/mood etc) if all those good things you mentioned had NOT taken place. You would experience a number of new anxieties about where you life is that you don't have, and have never had (by the sound of it).
Men peak in their 30's and girls tend to like older men.
best years are ahead boys. Don't give up.
Yes but I've been an unemployed bum before and my happiness level now is definitely higher but not as much as I thought it would be, of course external circumstances matter, I wouldnt want to get trapped in a cage getting ass raped by a pitchfork on a daily basis, im just saying external circumstances matter to a less degree than most normies think

I am a BIG believer in this and actually have a few times undergone a total transformation by excluding myself from certain influences and communities and exposing myself intentionally to others. In my early/mid 20's I had some seriously harmful ideas about socialising/girls etc which I had to rid myself of and I largely did so by intentionally exposing myself to contrary ideas/people and brainwashing myself.
If you're referring to /biz, I don't really come here that much but I like to keep an eye on crypto as I'm quite heavily invested.
>Have you ever done anything charitable?
In my own way, sure, routinely. Not mainstream charity stuff, not my bag.
>Do you take basic physical care of yourself
Yea I do a lot of exercise, too much in the past but most of my hobbies are exertions. I eat well. I try my best to have healthy human relationships but that's one of the main things I struggle with and am only slowly improving at. I mean, I'm totally different to how I was ten years ago but still at nearly 33 I'm like a confident 18 year old or something.
>Men peak in their 30's and girls tend to like older men.
Sadly total fucking cope. The "girls like older men" meme is grossly misused, anyone getting into their 30s and expecting to get young girls (i.e. not just +/- a few years) is going to be extremely disappointed.
I have fucked 140 girls in the last five years, that's one thing I've managed to catch up with through quite intense effort.

I'm with you, mate - but you have to go through that, still! Yes it's all bullshit and you always "come back home" etc, but that's not the same as never doing it in the first place!
"Yea don't go and fuck loads of women, really I just want my wife anyway now." etc
But if you hadn't have fucked them all, you prob wouldn't/couldn't settle with your wife.
This is the frustration of it, normies who have had normal lives always say it "wasn't that good" and tell us autisms not to bother in the first place, but going through the process is crucial to our development and if you skip it all then you end up totally fucked.
