"However, I am always overwhelmed and lonely in my life. I don't have a girlfriend to spend time with, and all of my other buddies are preoccupied with their lives.

"Even my work life is monotonous because I have been with the same company from the beginning of my career and do similar things every day, and I no longer look forward to fresh challenges and growth opportunities at work. Please advise on what I should do to make my life more interesting. (Don't say 'go to the gym,' because I already go)," the post read.

The post generated several responses, many of whom adviced the person on what he can do to overcome his issues.

"He should join a startup or start something of his own. Everyday he will have new problems to solve with sense of purpose and directed to one goal which is to make his own venture a success and see happiness on his teams face. Life is about giving and creating value for others," one user said.

"He needs perspective and needs to feel he is creating a positive impact. One way is to work at an NGO/Orphanage where people are less fortunate. This will help him feel gratitude for what he has, and also direct his energy on positive outcome," another user said.
