26-year-old in Spain struggles with agoraphobia and suicidal ideation

Distress at 26: Antiestéticar of people and unemployment

A 26-year-old man says he avoids going outside because he is afraid of people. He has never held a job. He confesses that he stays alive not out of hope, but because he lacks the courage to end it: "no family or anything," he writes, "but I don't dare because I'm scared, knowing there's nothing left after." This confession was posted on an online forum. Responses come from other users, most of whom try to help.

Facing a situation involving antiestéticar of people and thoughts of death in a young, unemployed person, the first line of response is often an anonymous community. The author openly appreciates this; he expected to be called a brat but found support instead.

Antiestéticar of people at 26: No work, no outings

He explains it himself, in his own way: a mental issue that makes him afraid of people. He asks if anyone else is in his situation or if he is just weird. He also admits to harboring "resentment, hatred, and desire for revenge" against those who bullied him in school, though he adds that he might be blaming others for his own lack of success. What he misses, he says, is money, women, good food, and seeing his family and friends clearly.

This is not an isolated case. Another participant, aged 30, describes an identical trajectory since adolescence: "a vital apathy that prevents me from being interested or motivated by anything." A third admits they also have periods where they want to disappear.

Gym, sun, and vitamins: Home remedies recommended online

One of the most concrete responses is not pharmacological, but hygienic. Go to the gym every day, take cold showers, look in the mirror, go outside when it's sunny, supplement with vitamin D3, and reduce energy-draining habits. Some summarize it in one idea: the brain depends on "a cocktail of hormones" and overthinking isn't helpful. Another suggests generating adrenaline and dopamine through intense activities—motorcycles, boxing, music, learning—rather than screens.

There is no clinical trinc-up mentioned in the thread; these are user tips, not treatment.

Can hormonal blood tests explain the lack of drive?

One contribution suggests spending between €20 and €30 at a nearby lab for a complete andrological profile, including testosterone, prolactin, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance indices. The participant admits, "you might be surprised." There are no results reported in the thread.

Man's Search for Meaning and reading as therapy

If there is one book that keeps coming up, it is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It appears twice. Alongside it, references are made to the Stoics, Camus, Mann, Delibes, Saramago, Baroja, and Larra. Reading authors who have been through similar experiences is recommended to reduce feelings of isolation.

Others propose setting small, realistic goals, meditating, and accepting life as it is, with its beauty and ugliness. The initial poster's closing remark is the most hopeful: "Yes, I feel a bit better." There is no miracle. Just someone who replied.

When seeking help turns into politics and unproven theories

Towards the end, the conversation shifts to topics unrelated to the young man's antiestéticars. Conspiracy theories about elites wanting to reduce the population and entities controlling reincarnations appear, claims backed by no evidence. There are also responses mocking the problem, reducing everything to the convenience of claiming benefits, or turning it into a political battle.

None of that helps. The most useful part of the exchange comes in the form of gym advice or book recommendations, while other responses are limited to mockery or insults.

The author summarizes it himself: he expected to be labeled a brat but received words of encouragement. He remains unemployed, still afraid of people, and still alive.
