Yep, I have
never been in a relationship, and I have no friends. I am partners with my brother in a tiny business that never seems to make any profits and often loses money... and has lots and lots of worries and lots and lots of hours. My only companionship is my 70 year old mother, and I worry about someday being her caregiver when she is too old. (I am currently moving into a storage room, so we can remodel the trashy apartment where I currently live and then my mother will live in that apartment and I will live in the storage room.)
It seems to me that I have always felt negative like this - even when I was younger. My negativity and my unwillingness to hurt other people doomed me to where I am today, and it continues into a dismal future.
The solution is to be hopeful and start taking actions that will make the future as good as it can be. Feeling that the game is over causes people to not take those actions. Easier said than done though.
I hope you can make some good decisions to help your own life be as good as it can be @rcat
