Does anyone else feel completely stuck living here?

I&#39;ve lived here most of my life, and now I&#39;m working here and I just feel like I&#39;m at the bottom of a hole. Work is the only thing I feel able to put any effort into, and I don&#39;t like my job at all. I&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;t have anything to spend money on because I don&#39;t buy expensive things or go shopping. I don&#39;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&#39;t do that because I have a passport from a &quot;shit hole country&quot;.</p> <p>No point to this rant, just felt like saying this to someone.
