    If it’s unclear, I was stating my own problems. I don’t see how a perfect internet stranger could help those issues, and even if they could I would probably just want them to help someone else instead.

    The inconsequential bit was also speaking for myself. As in a situation of “I got this small thing that I wanted, but it didn’t have as much of an effect as I expected it would and now I feel worse that I asked for it”. I was also thinking in the mindset of not-something-everybody-needs but also not-something-that-could’ve-been-an-image-search-for-puppies.

      Ah, I understand now. I’m in the same boat. My day-to-day is alright and I’m getting along fine, but the issues I’m facing are generally systemic. My solution is to do what I can to fight the system: I’m a union organizer at my company to fight the general unaffordability in my area (and obviously lots of other issues too), I’m drafting legislation for tenants rights so I don’t have as much landlord bs, etc. It’s hard work to do that stuff, but since those are my only major problems I think it’s worth my effort.
