How does one overcome lifelong misanthropy? It's gotten to the point where I don't even enjoy talking to my family and rarely make time to talk to my "friends". I know I need to level up my career, but I don't see the point if I'm just going to be this way no matter what I do. Therapy sort of helped, but I don't want to discuss my problems with a professional who has no incentive to help me besides payment. Talk therapy has me feeling worse about my issues after the fact. I know I have to put in the work to solve my problems myself, so what's the point in paying someone I don't know to listen or walk me through them?

Goals for this week are to train 4 days, lose 2lbs, talk to someone outside of my family, set up automatic transfers to my savings and investments, and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. Nothing crazy.
