[Serious] People who feel lost in life, how are you coping?

My life in a nutshell.

My friendships fell apart and split up after high school, got depressed during college and dropped out, family is split up and toxic and nobody wants to help me out. I'm currently working a shit job in food service, I've tried getting other jobs several times but all of them fell the fuck apart. Been screwed out of promotions to less qualified people multiple times. But I need to have a paycheck coming in so it looks like I'm still stuck there...

The only thing I've really got going for me is I still have a roof over my head and a stable relationship, which is pretty good all things considering. But almost everyone else I know is so much more "successful", and have opportunities to move upward (like better jobs higher salary), whereas I'm stuck at the bottom.

I feel totally stuck and unable to get any better job. It feels like there are no opportunities where I live. I'm always going to struggle through life to get bills paid and can't follow my few interests. and I refuse to join the military. I feel comforted by knowing that when I die I'll forget everything about this life.

This turned into a long rant, sorry for the big wall of text... but this is what being lost in life feels like for me. There is no coping. Lots of people get lucky in life and have everything go their way and credit their success to their own hard work. Lots of people do work hard and make something of themselves. Lots of us get screwed over. Life isn't intrinsically fair and there's no pattern or reason to it. I've stopped caring about lots of things. At least I have games and reddit to keep my mind occupied.
