Like the title says, does life ever get better?

I am 27 M, living on my own. I am doing okay professionally.

But I still can’t find any reason to be happy. Everything in my life is great. I have a family who love me, friends who care… a job that pays me enough.

Still I feel so empty all the time. I woke up the other night, stressed about the fact that I am not stressed. I understand that this sounds like a privilege. I have it wayyyyyyy better than most people. But I still can’t be happy. For a long time, I thought that maybe finding love is the solution.

That’s not it, honestly. I have found and let love go. I have this innate self loathing that keeps telling me that the other person deserves better. What if people judge them for being with me? What if they realise I am a mess?

Will I ever be able to be truly happy? Will I ever feel enough for people around me? Will this feeling of emptiness ever leave my stomach? Will there be light at the end of the tunnel? Does life get better?
