up to now have you found your life fullfilling?

[Erzengel]

\

not really, just was'nt motivated to do anything much. guess you can call me a slacker.

i dont like to go out much, so i can careless about that part. just the whole job and getting my license bothers me. and on that front yeah you can say i wasted my time. but i am trying now.

I could of had a lot more "fun" during college at the expense of my career.

But you can't spend your time looking back and feeling sorry for yourself.

What did you expect out of your last 4 years? To grow? You really can't if you just wanted to be a home body and don't want to work.

Now that you have goals such as a job and a license, you'd be surprised how much all the other things fall into place.

I did find myself missing being a kid today. (not that I don't like getting older) Helping my parents pack up old stuff that never gets used and put it in the attic, I was packing my old Star Wars toys. I almost started playing with them.

do any of you guys feel, like your life just is'nt moving as fast as you want to, or has'nt chnaged much now that your older? i can definitely say this is whats going on with me. im a senior year now, and my life has'nt really chnaged at all since i graduated highschool,difference is i've gotten older and fatter. i guess im a late bloomer when it comes to life changes and what not. im not motivated to much of anything at this point.hell i still have'nt dranked a pitch of beer nor any alcoholic breverage and im fast approaching 22(....damn).

I've changed a ton since my Middle School days. A even more from my childhood. Actually one of my main problems (especially noticed by women) is that I rarely stay in the same place very long...I always want something new (which isn't the best way to live)...However, it's been very fulfilling and made me mature beyond my years (or so I'm told).

But, let me preface this with the statement: there is no drawback, aside from health, to being fat. Fat people can bang as many hot chicks, have as many friends and as many experiences as skinny people or 'hawt' people. It is a myth that being attractive is linked to the ability to attract others to you (in any sense).

Life starts with confidence, and you strike me as someone who lacks it. You cannot make yourself the stranger and loner of the crowd and expect to get by. While that rugged "grab life by the balls" style might not be for you, you have to put yourself out there in some fashion. Find something you enjoy (outside of posting on a website) and use it to connect to people. I enjoy working out and make it a focal point and way to meet people and women and gain experiences. While it's not the only thing I use it's highly effective for me.

You need not be afraid of life because life is only truly scary if you never live it. You will face rejection, you will face failure, you will face sadness and you will face hard times...but those who face those the most and survive are the most successful while those who don't at all amount to nothing. Life is only as fulfilling as you choose to make it.

And also, don't be afraid of drinking. I used to be (for health reasons), but I found it was an excellent way to meet people. Being drunk WITH your friends is among the best bonding experiences you can have.

Being yourself does not include being afraid of yourself.

whats wrong with being a home body? i just dont like to go out much. im not really much of a social bee. i like to go to an occasilnal movie here and there. besides that, i dont really look forward to much.
the job thing is something i took for granted, and yes i was'nt serious about working back when i first started, but as i grew i found out i wanted more reponsibility then just going to school. but at the same time i feel like too immature to even start out with that.

your the uncle ben to my peter parker-ness.

but seriously tho, i get what your saying and my cousins have noticed this too about me,which is why one of them was pissed when i still did'nt have my license.

Because life happens outside your door. Hell, I am skipping out on some great experience right now typing this.

Being afraid of social situations does not constitute "being one's self" it constitutes "being afraid of one's self".

i like to go to an occasilnal movie here and there.

Then next time invite someone (preferably of the opposite sex) along with you.

the job thing is something i took for granted, and yes i was'nt serious about working back when i first started, but as i grew i found out i wanted more reponsibility then just going to school. but at the same time i feel like too immature to even start out with that.

Again "get some fracking confidence". I doubt I'd hire you with that attitude. I am looking for go-getters.

To be fair, Peter Parker (as nerdy as he was), was a pretty daring guy who took hold of an opportunity given to him. You might not think about it but avenues open up everyday to everyone that are just as good as a radioactive spider-bite (although maybe not as apparent) and people are too afraid to take advantage.

 

[Eros]

GAH, I think I get where your comeing from. But if your 22, and are like you say you are, then perhaps you need to be reawakened, and not waste the rest of your 20s.

If the only 2 things that you are "unhappy" about right now is the job and a license then it's not that hard to get a job especially if you do that intern thing that I told you about you are looking at some nice pay, you can probably save for a car in a matter of months. You just have to be agressive with your search.

 

[Prognosticator]

There's an old cliche that comes to mind:

"Different strokes for different folks."

I mean, a person DOES need more than a computer and a television in life, but you guys can't rag on someone for having social anxiety. My dad suffers from that and he can't go anywhere. I've also got a newspaper editor that I befriended in college. He gets so anxious in public that he can't make one coherent sentence...

You can't just "will" yourself into being a super suave ''life of the party'' type. You'll always be who you are. But you DO need to force yourself to quit being such a slacker in as many aspects of your life as you can muster!

GAL, you should join an organization or two in college! Get with people who share your common interests other than "movies".

 

[PLAS]

well, thus far, life has been pretty nice with me, I've had some rough times, some great times, some really boring times and some pretty exciting times, it's all in how you go through them and what you learn from life's experiences

for example, this past year I started a new band that was touring and recording before we were even six months old; I got laid off and was unemployed for four months, which got me very depressed, but before long I was hired at another place, where I'm enjoying working to this day and hope to be there for a while; last year also consolidated my relationship with my live-in girlfriend/band singer and this year we decided to get married next year... I enjoy my life, my kids, my life partner, my job and my music, and although it's not always been this good, I've learned from those rough times and mistakes I made

and GAH, by the time I was 22 I was working as an english teacher full time, playing with my band on the weekends, sustaining a household, parent of 3 kids (I have twin girls) and still studying college in summers and paying for my studies

I think I've improved a lot in the past nine years, like Shadowboxing said, life happens outside your house, although home is also part of life, the best things happen once you step outside

 

[dpm07]

I have not found my existence as satisfying as I would like. However, I am continuing to work toward resolving this through various actions.

 

[tzarinna]

I'm pretty content with my life. I've seen and done at a lot. Things have slowed down a bit since the car accident but I'll be in full swing again once I get some things sorted out such as graduating,getting my Journeyman's license,purchasing a new home.
