At first glance, you'd think my life wouldn't suck at all. I've had a good childhood, I've been to great schools and I'm one year away from finishing my university degree. I'm not at all unattractive. I'm also healthy and fit. I'm currently 24 years old and will turn 25 in a month.
I, however, absolutely hate my life. It has no meaning at all. The very thought of working in a boring job for no worthwhile reason until retirement deeply depresses me. Every time I wake up, I wish I could just go back to sleep forever. I have nothing to wake up for, I have nothing to live for. I feel so empty all the time. Even my hobbies don't bring me any joy anymore. On top of that, I've been single all my life and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Everywhere I look, people seem to be happy or optimistic, which only makes me feel worse. People tell me to wait and to look forward to the future. Never know what could happen, right? Well, what future do I have to look forward to? None that I can see, other than boredom and emptiness. I don't want to wait, I'm sick of waiting.
I wish some car could hit me and end it all. My life is unhappy, hollow and without meaning. |
I helped build a sub-component of the Hubble space telescope, I now feel some pride in that.
You are a college student, you are smart enough to start your own business. 90% of all start-up businesses fail early, but 10% become great success.
"Everywhere I look, people seem to be happy or optimistic" this is an illusion, people are just trying to hide their unhappiness for the most part. I know.
Just a few ideas.
do it..
What is the purpose of life? We been searching for the answers for millions of years.
I been thinking about it (a lot) lately and of course I don't have any answer.
I been working full-time for about 6 years now (just 30 something years to retire) and life seems repetitive and pretty boring!
Yes, I solve difficult problems, get things done, add value to the product, I am (definitely) smarter than average people, but still I think life sucks.
Almost all of us wait for that "big moment" when life becomes happy, joyful...well I don't think it ever happens!
I think we wait and wait and one day die!
I think the key to happy life is somehow "be present", enjoy small moments / success, try to help others...basically try to enjoy the show (life) as long as we are here!
Good luck to all of you my fellow "life-sucks" friends, hope one day "life-will-rock" for us :)
I really recommend you try to join a social group, like a biking club or something like that. Preferably one with diversity in terms of gender, race, and the like. Meet new people, crack jokes.
But really, what life needs is direction, a greater goal, something you truly believe in and will work towards. For me, it's science; I hate all the arrogant shitheads that populate the field, but regardless of how much I want to strangle my colleagues, we're all working for the greater good. I'm pretty sure I suck at my job, but doing something that I honestly believe in helps temper the bitterness of work.
friendships are meaningless!!
I don't know, but I feel there is just nothing in this world for me. Nothing seems to trigger an emotional response for me resembling what I fake when I'm supposed to be feeling "happy."
