To be completely fed up?

I'm 32, single. I really want my own famiy but I don't think it's ever going to happen. I was recently seeing a guy who seemed really keen on me but then did a complete 180 on me suddenly and said we're not compatible (which is nonsense because we have everything in common). This happens all the time, where a relationship with a guy looks promising and then all of a sudden he'll just completely lose interest.

My job is really stressful for terrible pay.

I live in a house share with 3 others girls and one of the girls is so loud (slamming doors all the time) and you have hardly any space to yourself and you can't ever use the bathroom/kitchen when you want to.

I have no family or friends that I'm close to so I am lonely a lot. I just work and then sit in my room bored because my neighbourhood is depressing so I don't want to go out. I'm literally just so fed up and I feel stuck, like there's no way out.

Do you think your dates are picking up on your mood? I would find it quite difficult to see a future relationship with someone who spends all of the time in their room because they are bored. You say you have "everything in common" but I am not exactly sure what this everything is from your description.
I empathise re flatmates. I hated it too in my thirties. Time to make a plan for the future - can you retrain, change jobs?
Also, why do you feel you have to go out in your depressing neighbourhood? Can you go into town? Check out museums, galleries, cafes, book shops, join a gym?

I’m so sorry you feel so fed up! That sounds tough. All I can say is hang in there and I bet one piece of the puzzle will start to fall into place eventually. Maybe as a start you could allow yourself a lovely restful weekend where YOU are your own best friend/partner and give yourself permission to have a little treat out of the house? It’s a really tough time of year but the nights will get longer soon and life might not feel quite so frustrating. Which piece of the puzzle feels the least dispiriting? Could you focus on finding a job you like more?

Focus on making friends and not a relationship , join a hobby club or find groups with common interests

You need to create your life, be in the driving seat.
Its sounds a bit like you’re in the passenger seat of your own life, just waiting / hoping that things will change.
