Does anyone else feel completely stuck living here?
I've lived here most of my life, and now I'm working here and I just feel like I'm at the bottom of a hole. Work is the only thing I feel able to put any effort into, and I don't like my job at all. I'm worked off my feet, but still underappreciated.</p>
<p>I have no friends, only acquaintances who talk when they want to go out to drink, even though I'm very social and like having people to talk to all the time. Everyone at work is at least 10 years older than me with families. I have no hobbies, stopped going to the gym, started eating like shit, drinking heavily. I feel like any hobby here costs a shit ton of money. Mostly just sit alone in my room all day, playing video games, or watching shitty sitcom reruns on Netflix because I can't even bring myself to watch anything new.</p>
<p>The only upside is I have no money problems and no debt, but I don't have anything to spend money on because I don't buy expensive things or go shopping. I don't think this is necessarily related to Dubai, but I feel like everyone else in a similar situation here is having loads of fun, with massive social circles, going to events all the time, spending their time way more productively than I am. I think maybe other people in this situation would want to make a change and go somewhere else, but I can't do that because I have a passport from a "shit hole country".</p>
<p>No point to this rant, just felt like saying this to someone.
