Does Emigrating Make Life Better? Or Are Some People Not Made to feel Normality

    Life in Dublin is simply not getting any better,

    Im 30, I earn a mid range salary from 2 jobs (circa 3200 per month after tax). I rent a small studio that costs with bills over half my take home pay. I have no hope of buying a home. Im single and despite paying for unlimited likes on apps I get zero matches or ghosted from the ones I get. I don't have any friends and when I go out to bars etc no one speaks outside their groups so I sit alone at the bar with a book generally. My family don't spend time with me or call me as they all have kids and I don't factor in, and when they have spoken to me they say about how its dead money for me to be renting. I genuinely feel like I dont have a single person on this earth that cares about me or wants to spend time with me, I blame my ugly looks and my lack of success (my low wage and no property) for that.

    I did have friends at one time, then over covid they cut me off over my depression and because I took anti lockdown views (I had lost my job due to lockdown). The people I work with don't like me (I put this down largely to how I look, ugly people tend to be prejudged as being strange).

    I don't see any hope in this country, does anyone know a country I could move to in which I could have a normal life of friends, a relationship and a home? I have been thinking UK but I know from travelling over there I dont get likes etc on apps either so I think I would have the same issues of being too ugly for love there as well.

    Any advice welcome, a sense of hope is what I need that I am not beneath a normal socially acceptable life

    OP after hours isn't the place for this type of discussion. There's a personal issues forum where you might get more relevant advice. I emigtrated at 20 to Australia and did very well over there but I also know people who just felt it wasn't for them and came back after 2 or 3 months so in my experience it's down to the individual. All the best hopefully things will improve for you soon.
