Single people with no kids - what do you do to pass the time and fill the gaping void? Do you feel fulfilled?
I recall feeling okay with my solitude in my 20s and felt that my life was balanced between friends, work, self-development and solitude. I didn’t even work full time but my life felt so full. I loved spiritual growth and in my quiet times it was the perfect opportunity to go within and emerge bigger and brighter… there was hope and potential and I was a lot more connected. I did a lot of work on myself and felt so strong and collected - I could self-hypnotise and achieve anything I wanted.
Now in my 30s I feel this oppressive stillness… I work and that’s all I have. Don’t feel connected anything and couldn’t care less about spiritual growth. In theory I know a good community/social circle and some hobbies would be helpful, but I don’t enjoy much anymore and find everything to be hollow or empty. Humans are fickle and so unrelatable to me, and I’m sure I appear uninteresting and unrelatable to them too. I don’t even care to not have their attention.
It’s really random but the only time I feel mild relief (more like the notch drops from 10 to 9) from that deep feeling of hollowness is from attending appointments like massage, acupuncture, tarot reading, walking outside, facials… lik

To quote the The Clash: "Should I stay or should I go now?"
Need some advice. I work for a very large company in a specialized role and have been there for 2 years. About 3 months ago, we got a new CIO, and there was an upper management shakeup. The new regime decided they wanted to get rid of on-prem servers and either move to Cloud or SAAS Hosting. If they go to the cloud, I am safe, but if what I oversee goes to SAAS, then I am done immediately. They have not been communicating what they are learning, and told me back in late October, I would know by Thanksgiving, which became X-Mas, then became the 1st of the year. Now I am being told that in early Spring, they will decide. I find it incredibly stressful, and it really put a damper on my Holidays and trying to enjoy them with young kids at home. So I am looking for some non-biased feedback. Should I hang tight, or should I start aggressively looking?
Just to add a quick edit - The stress has really gotten to me. I have voiced my concerns and even had a few outbursts on conference calls. One of the most frustrating things is I have to constantly ask (once a week) one a status update, and they act like I am being unreasonable for wanting to know.
I’m realizing I don’t need to fix myself as often as I thought
A lot of my “self-improvement” was just me being too hard on myself. Lately, I’m trying acceptance instead
