What's the point to any of this?

Been "friend free" myself for about 6 years now. Got more important things to do. I study electronics and I.T. as a hobby of mine.
I got my BMW not to impress but rather enjoy life's little comforts.

Then I have gaming and collect a few things. Life at this stage is all about myself and parents.

You need to find the things you enjoy in life.

You sound depressed. I have felt similarly in the past. Go talk to a physiologist a few times and get a GP to try some anti-depressant medication. I can honestly say it lifted me out of that existential crisis and I feel a whole lot better.

It also sounds like you are not pursuing any of your needs or passions. Spend some time thinking about what you enjoy or your hobbies or interests and put you time energy and money into that.

But it will be difficult if first you don't address the imbalances in your brain with therapy and/or medication. There is no shame in having mental health issues. It is just like any other medical condition in your body.

Good luck! It definitely can get A LOT better, trust me.

PS: If at first you don't get help from one GP or therapist, try others. It can take a few tries to find the right people to help you.

Once you realize they serve no purpose its quite easy.
But also the age of not having to move your PC to LAN evenings and having group finders make it easy not to need them.

I get more than enough interaction from people in my daily work.

Would also recommend to OP not to waste life by binge watching Youtube and Netflix.

And for the love of which ever deity.... get off Facebook

Whose "we"? Speak for yourself buddy! :p

Nothing wrong a simple life and not having ambition either. Just don't be too complacent to stand up for yourself / switch jobs if needed. Or accept that you're going to work to earn money and not socialise - nothing wrong with that either.

Over the past 3 years I've sat back and watched my life go up and down, there's multiple things I could mention but I feel as if it wouldn't make a difference aside from revealing my true identity, as of 2019 I have no friends, the place I work doesn't respect me and I have no ambition to push myself towards a better life, I'm sick of the fake intimacy, the lies, this facade that people put on, we're fooling each other with this bullshit, what does it matter? Who the **** cares about your shiny new car, your rolex watch, your fancy big house or your group of fake friends. I'm overwhelmed by this urge to break away and get out of the city, I've thought about suicide but I don't think I could ever bring myself to leave my family behind, not after all they've done for me.

I just want a simple life is that too much to ask for?

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep hoping this feeling of emptiness is only temporary.

Apologies if this is too much but I needed somewhere to vent.

Thanks for listening

That's quite an existential question - What's the point to any of this? The simple answer is quite evident. There is no point to any of it. None at all. Life is what you make it though - you have the one trip on the merry-go-round that is life. Savor it. Experience the most of it you can. Chance's of you existing at all is so infinitesimally small that checking out early is just as pointless as the bigger question itself. You're here at this point in the history of the universe- might as well ride it out and see what tomorrow brings.

I really need to write a self-help book for losers. I look in the mirror and I just see pure win. Life is good, each day better than yesterday.

Just giving friendly advice. You are free to state the opposite.

After >50 years on this planet I have come to the conclusion that I have no real friends. Many friendly acquaintances (some people would call them friends). My SO feels the same way (she noticed it before me).

Friends NEVER lie to you. That is pretty much the only rule I have (I can think of at this moment).
