I made a similar post a few weeks ago, but just remembered that the last time I had friends was over ten years ago, when I was ten.
My whole life at the moment is going to work during the week and being too exhausted for anything for the rest of the day and having no motivation to do anything on the weekends.

The only people around me are my family and my colleagues. Nobody asks how I am or is otherwise interested about me.

I don’t know why I should continue to live, I don’t see many reasons for it

    In that case, the best play is probably to practice speaking to others at work, even if it’s cringe or small amounts. How would one even go about making friends by constantly being mute? There’s no cheat code for speech, and it’s especially important for (ex-)shut-ins, as social skills such as speech are kind of a muscle that can atrophy, which is where many problems come from.

    Btw speaking of exhaustion issues, are you eating enough? I had a similar issue myself where I’d be exhausted after shift, with hardly enough time to recover my muscles and energy and it got fixed after I stopped skipping lunch and just ate more nutritious meals. If that’s the case for you, maybe this could give you enough energy to get stuff done after work and on weekends such as finding groups of people in communities that interest you? It’s also a very much viable alternative if you can’t find anyone at your job.
