Life is both pointless AND miserable and it would be fine if it were just one or the other but I'm just so fucking tired of putting effort into a life that I hate living
Please don't hurt yourself. You are worthy of love.
Worthy? I can accept that. The problem is my presence in someone's life would only make theirs worse. Well it would be a problem if I were capable of seeking out a relationship which I'm not. Not even comfortable with hookups anymore. Accepted that love, affection, and intimacy just aren't for me.
Relationships aren't for everyone, and that's fine if its your choice and you are actually happy with it. Regardless, life is worth living. It may not seem like it now (I've been there) but I assure you there is a reason you're here. Keep your head up.
If I start hoping, it's just gonna make everything hurt more
No need to hope. Just keep going. I know how it feels and I know I would have said the same in your position but all I can say is keep going. I'm rooting for you. If there is something I can do that will help, let me know.
I admit I'm curious about what you said but not engaging is probably the right call
Honestly as an old person who struggles with ADHD I was trying to tell you it can get better... ignore the voice in your head telling you, "you can't/suck/failure" it won't help and it only drags you into a pit of self loathing reaffirmed by that goddamn voice.
You need to accept you work differently and focus on how to use that instead of trying to conform.
Make your life about a purpose and start working on a system that you can excel.
