I’m 26 years old (27 in exactly two months) and I’m completely lost in life. I finished college in June 2013 in a program related to graphic design, but finding a job is hard, employers are asking for a lot of things that I don’t have, like university or years of experience. The question I keep asking myself is do I even want to be designer or not. I went in that program because that the only thing I could think of that wouldn’t bother me doing. Unfortunately, I’m a lazy and unmotivated person, always been. All I ever liked doing in life was playing video games, watching tv shows and movies, spending time on the internet and watching adult movies. I’m a very passive guy with no drive to do anything. I’m decent looking, so I do have a chance with the ladies based on my look. Though as soon as they get to know the real me, they leave.
Right now I have no idea what’s my next move, I looked at every program, that I like or not, and nothing seems to interest me. I’m in debt as well since I’m so unmotivated to work. I have never liked working, it always felt like slavery to me. I promised myself a year and a half ago that I’ll never worked in a call center or for retail ever again, sadly those are the only companies that contact me back for work. I pass the interview than I always back down on the first day of work. I hated working in warehouses, but they are better than call center or store. Sadly I have two hernia in the back and neck so I can’t do physical work.
I also have next to no social life. I have a few friends that I rarely see. I only go out for special occasions like wedding, bdays, mostly because I’m forced to. I’m not an out going person at all, I can spend weeks at home. I’m a quiet person, who doesn’t open up easily to people, because people abused of my kindness. Oddly enough I’m not that shy of a person. I live in canada and winter is brutal here, I say this because winter is the thing I hate the most, alongside working.
So my life is boring, I tried to live without computer, video games and porn, but I ended up on it like I never left. I brought a piano, it’s now collecting dust. I miss being a kid, while most people wanted to grow up, I never did…
thank you to anyone who read this, I have been miserable for the past 8 years and I felt like ranting
January 26, 2014 at 8:40 am #49749kayParticipanti think you should just got get a job…just to pay bills..and keep looking for a job you like..something will come up…and once your in a routine..things will fall into place..you have your health, you probably have lots of great traits…remember you can do what you want..your choice…however i think once you start having a routine..outside the house..you may look at things differently…you can still be a kid a heart..you just need to realize your not a kid…

I am with Kay – you need to start with something to find the thing that gets you to your true passion. You wont find it doing nothing. Keep moving.
I know you dont want to be an adult, but guess what, you are! So you can either deny it and fight against it and hate the years OR accept that you have become an adult – someone who can take care of himself, work, pursue friendships and relationships and grow into a stronger human being. You can do it! Just be patient and keep at it and you can do it!
You also HAVE to exercise, it will help you feel heaps better. Start with anything, even 20 mins walk 3 times a week.It doesnt help that you spend a lot of times indoors.
I am a bit concerned that you have felt like this for 8 years – have you spoken to a professional about it? You might need to speak to someone to get some of your motivation and mojo back (be there, done that).
Flamer, you have been blessed with a life and amazing possibilities of a tomorrow. Please dont wish it away. Lots of people out there would kill to have what you have. Please make tiny little changes and I promise you will see your attitude, your thoughts and life change. It takes a bit of effort but the results last a lifetime 🙂
Lily.
