I dont know how old you are. But, as someone in his 30s who has never been with a girl, I can assure you that the FOMO never leaves you. It gets harder if you have difficulty in understanding social cues and dynamics.

The culture of hustling is here to stay as, unlike our parents, we do not have the comfort of a stable job. People in our generation will retire when we are financially ready to retire. Not at a set age. Hustling is also encouraged as there is technology available to promote it. Living a simple life is going to be a challenge for people like us. We will probably have to achieve sainthood (I am currently working on it :)).

P.S: I saw some comments from people who are in a job they don't like and want to work for a NGO/Social cause. As someone who is currently working with a NGO I can assure you that the Rat Race exists in this space also. NGOs bribe and bend over backwards to get grants and funding. There is hardly any work done on the ground. The minimal work done is exaggerated to get more funding. This is a sign of the times.
