I can buy an apartment back in Zagreb for cash, or a small one in a smaller city here ing Germany.
I'm very muscular, I look much better, I can get a job, I don't need booze to have fun at all, I had actual sex, I'm still funny and entertaining to pretty much everyone I meet

But also I am 35, tremendously lonely, I need a gf but I work as a programmer remotely from my apartment in the most boring city with the least amount of females in Germany and I can't speak the language, I am a huge extrovert but came here just 2 months before Corona lockdowns happened and for months and months I did not see or speak with a live person at all, this year I was invited to one party from a gym buddy and I immediately mingled with everyone and got a nice girl to follow me around there but then I fucked up the date part by being too passive since this was my only chance in years and I did not to push it faster. I get mires from girls in the gym but they come with their BFs, I get 0 matches on Badoo and Bumble even though I have normal pics. Everything I do I get shit return on investment, everything goes wrong even with careful planning.
I am miserable and will return back to my home country like I planned initially. What if I'm too old now?

I legit have noting that makes me happy in the moment, I only have delayed gratification. I only have hope and spite pushing me.

Nobody is attacking you or looking for you to become trans. Just ignore it and go about your day, people like this have existed forever its not news. If your masculinity is fragile enough that you consider the possibility of becoming trans as something that could happen to you then you might as well be transitioning as we speak because the only men who are scared of trans people are closeted trans throwing shit at others for doing what they want to do but cant admit.

Well, in 2023 I was shit spiritually, I was living in my parents house and I had no money of course. But I felt a bit more alive and free-thinking, but in a shit way, would often have strong suicidal impulses. Now I've pretty much killed my emotions so fortunately I don't get those depressive panics but I still somewhat wish I could feel more - both feel more sadness and feel more joy. Sometimes I wish I could feel that sadness and loneliness I felt as a teenager again.

Financially - really difficult to get even basic labour jobs since autism makes it very hard to sell yourself like normies do. I'm not terrible at trading but I'm always experiencing a group of small moves up, then a big move down. I've had a stock fall -88.12% which is still in my portfolio as of writing. I haven't even had half that the other way. On the whole I'm profitable, but since my worst moves are worse than my best moves are good, I'm not killing it in any way. Swing/trend trading seems to be the only thing that works, I have no ability for day trading.

After 12 fucking years of wanting a girlfriend I finally got one. However, by the time it has happened all that feeling of longing, of craving, 'I wanna cute girlfriend so so much' has all but disappeared. Life, what a joke. At least I became attractive last year.

back then my mother recently died, but we lived in a paid off house and my father had a good pension. Grew up in a good country so no big complaints in my childhood.
Stuff got worse fast in my teens with my dad getting ill and me realising I was gay after being asexual for the longest time. Couldn't burden him with anything so I tried liking girls, but I couldn't. He he died in the end without ever knowing I was gay, in 23 days around 4 years ago now.
After his death, I was multiple times close to ending myself to the point where I was traveling around the country to find spots to an hero. I had money, I inherited a house and even had a pretty gud crypto bag, but I couldnt enjoy anything, everything felt empty.
Then, I got a boyfriend and I've never felt more alive. I actually have goals now, plan for the future and want to succeed. I wish I could tell my younger self that it was all worth it in the end.
