+378 You're happy with your life, amirite?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Sadly, no. I'm not doing anything with my life. I got kicked out of school, I still haven't found a job, and I need to get my GED and go to college, but I still haven't taken my GED test because I'm scared I'll fail and I've got no idea what career path I want to go on. I'm perfectly happy being pretty much friendless, I just really really need to be doing something with myself to be moving forward to be happy, and I'm stuck in a rut.

Go somewhere new. Join the military. Maybe Peace Corps, or something like that. That's what I would do. But hell, what do I know, I'm only 16.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Hmm, I think I might join the Peace Corps. Good idea, thanks :)

by Anonymous 11 years ago

The Peace Corps has become extremely selective. They won't let you in unless you have a B.A./B.S. in an applicable area, or have like 3-5 years of experience in agriculture, masonry, etc.. I dropped out of college and looked to join the Peace Corps, and that's what I found out.

Americorps instead? They're pretty awesome, and you can get education grants.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Yeah, that is a good idea. I applied there too, and I've already gotten a bunch of "callbacks" or whatever you want to call them. And what's really great is that their terms are only 10 months and you can get part and full-time jobs, close to home if you want.

Hey, you're still young and have a chance. if you move fast enough, you can go to college at the same time as your peers. Don't lose faith in yourself so easily. Study hard, and believe in yourself. You can do this!

You have parental support. you're not alone. I'm sure there's a lot of people in your community who are just like you. I think it would benefit you to reach out to these people and make friends like that. In time, you'll learn to be more comfortable around others, just expose yourself to people more and more every day.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

It's not that easy. I used to have plenty of great friends. I can't go and make friends with the fear that they would judge me for my seizures and anxiety (it's really that bad) like my previous best friends did. I might have a home and everything, but fuck, I'm not getting the emotional and mental support from my parents which is something that I really need.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Have you tried speaking with them about how you feel? It's okay! i totally understand. I dont get seizures, but I have a pretty low body image and self-esteem. I cannot speak to anybody other than my best friend (who i have known my whole life) without getting self-conscious. But that's okay! If people judge you, then fuck them, they weren't worth it anyways. But if they understand, give them a chance, because they are your true friends. It's not going to happen in a week, nor a month, or even a year. But if you be happy and truly accept yourself for who you are, people will being to gravitate to you. This is tried and true by myself. You cannot have other people love you if you do not even love yourself.

Just the other weekend, I woke up really looking forward to something that I was doing later that day, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was. So I went through my head of all the things that it could possibly be, and though I never figured it out, just realizing that I had so many things to be excited about made my day before it even began. And still, even if the most exciting thing I had been planning on doing was just watching a new TV show, I could shake things up and go to a museum or go to a movie with my brother or something. And that was a great feeling to know that I always could, if I wanted to, make my day exciting. Of course, I'm happy with my life as is, but I could always be happier.

I'm one of those really cheery people who smiles at everyone and gets good grades and always appears to be happy. But I'm not. The truth is, I don't have any friends and the people I truly care about in this world (my family) live on the opposite side of the world and if I'm lucky, I can see them once a year. I'm still thankful for my life though. Being away from the people you love makes you develop a whole new level of appreciation for them.

I wouldn't exactly say I'm unhappy; in more in the middle. I'm happy because my family is doing financially well and I have a lot of good friends. I'm unhappy because I feel like my grades aren't good enough and I tend to worry too much about things. Even though I haven't been diagnosed, I think I have generalized anxiety disorder and my dad who has it thinks I have it too. Excessive worrying is not very fun.

Life sucks when you're down and it seems so cruel and harsh. But when you're happy, life just seems beautiful. You have to look for the beauty in it. Cherish the moments of happiness if you seldom have them. I truly believe that the contentment of the joys in life are usually worth the pain. Maybe not for some people, but if you have nothing else to count on, look for the little things. Small things can make the biggest difference if you let them. Smile at strangers and just do kind things for the hell of it. No matter what, you ARE worth something. Never let anyone tell you you're not. I don't think some people realize how truly amazing they are. We are all unique and if someone doesn't appreciate you for who you are, don't worry about them. Just be blessed you were given a chance to live and never give up faith. Truth is, everyone feels depressed sometimes, even the people who seems the happiest. Shit happens. But life goes on, and live it to your fullest. As hard as it is to believe, happiness is a choice you can make if you try hard enough. Don't ever forget you're special to someone. Don't give up, make life a beautiful story even through the struggle. <3

However, I do have great friends and will be able to go to my summer camp soon which is my favorite place (It's theater). Also, this may sound silly but I've found amazing musicals and a new TV show I like. That makes me really happy. So, yeah I feel like life could be worse right now, but happy may be a bit of a stretch.

Meh. I know things could be worse but I'm just so alone right now. I just started university and I've realised that nothing I'm doing there holds my interest. I have no friends because I'm too young to go out drinking, not that I'd want to anyway. My dad resents sending me to a university where I'm not in med school, I passed all the exams but my social skills leave much to be desired, especially if you add in social anxiety. All my friend have moved away and stuck in the same place I grew up in, and I'll probably never leave. Then again, I am typing this at 11pm so by tomorrow morning my feelings will probably have done a 180. 17 year olds are notoriously unstable.
