&gt; <i>99% of the world population would love to have your knowledge, job and salary.</i><p>My thoughts exactly. OP, you&#x27;re in an incredibly privileged position, and you&#x27;re very successful by almost any modern standard. It seems like a little perspective is all that might be needed here. I mean, you&#x27;re a young, single, able-bodied, high-earning, english-speaking, hetero male (from the sound of it) living in California. When it comes to having advantages in life, you&#x27;ve pretty much won the lottery. Count your blessings.
