Inflikted Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I truly feel like I have no real purpose in life. I graduated high school about... five years ago, and I've been taking classes at community college, and working part time in retail ever since. I... hate that this is what my life became. I always thought I'd go to a better school, get a bachelors degree, settle into a decent career. But, no, I'm just drifting through community college, and working a job I absolutely hate. I dunno, I guess I always just assumed I'd "figure it out" eventually, but I never did. I don't know what to do with my life. There's nothing that I'm particularly good at or skilled at. There's nothing I enjoy doing that I could reasonably turn into a career. So where does that leave me? To make matters worse, I... shelter myself. I alienate myself from the rest of the world. Partially because I'm incredibly distrusting of people, partially because I'm so used to people letting me down or taking advantage of me, and partially because I'm just so embarrassed about the life I'm living. For instance, I used to sort of keep in touch with some old friends from grade school, but now, I'm just so ashamed of myself; I mean, most of them have finished college, they're doing great things, some of them are getting married, etc. I'm just the loser in community college making minimum wage as a cashier... Over the last few years, there have been some people that drifted into my life that I started to try getting closer, but they've all moved to bigger and better things, and I almost never see or talk to them anymore. Not that I blame them, or anything; I can't be angry or upset with them for moving forward with their lives. I just wish I was moving forward, too. I dunno, I know I probably sound like some whining dope, and maybe I am. But it's just hard feeling so empty, and so alone, at the same time. I feel so pointless, so unnecessary. Why am I even here? I'm a waste of space. Everything just feels so meaningless, so worthless. Link to post Share on other sites
Philosoraptor Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Realize that the past is in stone, you can't change it. But whining about it sure isn't going to make things better. If you want to make a change then figure out what you want to change and work at it until things are the way you want them. Nothing ever works out perfectly for anyone, but those who stay positive are happy nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
