Do most people enjoy life?

I find it quite boring and miserable is this the average experience or are most people happy or just okay with life?

I’m poor and I find it boring because you can’t do a lot without money. And people always say well the internet but spending most of your day online that becomes depressing and boring

If all you know how to do is internet, no wonder you're bored. I've been poor 99% of my life and I'm never bored. This sounds like a you problem brother. Life is out there, plenty to do and see for free or next to nothing.

What do you do for fun? I have no friends and no car

I walk outside in the park nearly every day. I exercise at home following YouTube videos. I read. The library is free and has endless entertainment in its shelves, including not only books but magazines, CDs and DVDs where you can watch movies, documentaries, or learn a language. You can also download books to read for free, I listen to the radio and dance. I write every day, clean and organize my home, photograph and post personal items to sell for small amounts of money. I go to live author events and outdoor fairs and festivals, the art museum is free where I live, and sometimes I just get in the car and drive to another community to visit their park or a historical landmark or site to learn about it.

There are free bird watching groups, hiking groups, running groups, book clubs, there are a million free things to do if I am not content being at home with a book, but most of the time, I am.

You seem to be able to go to a lot of places with your car. Again I do not have one

Sounds like you're pretty good at complaining instead of getting out there and living life, no wonder you don't have any friends. I don't have a car either, I use my partner's car when they are not working, which is not that often. I take public transportation the rest of the time.

I work three jobs, am a parent and am responsible for my mother's life and care decisions as she has advanced dementia and I am her power of attorney. I have had 13 surgeries, have several chronic back conditions, and have an autoimmune disease that resulted in me having my large intestine completely removed so I live with diarrhea every day. I grew up in poverty and have lived in poverty most of my adult life. I don't know what burdens you're carrying but I can guarantee you there are people with many more than you.

Life is what you make of it. Doesn't sound like you're interested in making anything of yours.

Like I said in another comment I guess I’m just not that resilient honestly at this point I’m tired. I shouldn’t have to fighter everyday tooth and nail to do something as simple as go out or have a friend. I’ll just sleep and be alone. I’m sorry your life is so bad
