Do you feel like you are going nowhere in life?

I do. I really feel like I am going through the motions a lot of times, and nothing has really improved very much. I feel very stagnant in life, with nothing happening to me, all while other people are moving on with their life...with no real hope for the future. Does anyone else feel like this?

Not really. I used to, but not anymore.

Slightly I transferred into another school and basically got a major that is easier than the major that I was going for (computer science -> info science), and I'm a semester ahead because of it. Seems good right? I took challenging classes my first semester here and got a bad grade, and have to retake it soon. I'm also struggling to get my foot out the door for internships and stuff. I'm also anxious due to the amount of time i have left (2 years) to finish my major and graduate from an Ivy League school.JIT93

what's info science?

Sometimes, but only when I'm in a foul mood. 

yes, but that's because I've been studying for exams and my experiments are being assholes

Yup.

Out of work with no idea what the f*ck I even want to do.

Maybe sometimes though things are def better than a few years ago. I' m halfwaythrough getting my degree(even though I have some doubts abou my skills despite getting very good grades) and have a good enough IMO social life. Not bad for me in general.

i feel like im not social enough and that my life is suffering because of it. i feel ashamed of where i live and the life i am living and feel in a sense trapped in it. im trying to change it up and break the air but everytime i do my family keeps trying to drown me in horrible consequences for me trying to change. i feel horrid about it and ive beaten most of their little games but now their threatening to put down the family dog if i try and move out on my own. (im not making that up, this is what they threatened me with)

now she is talking about moving into my work too so now id be seeing her lets say every other day when im at work. that really pisses me off, because i dont want anything to do with her because she is homophobic and im bisexual and have a quasi-BF that i casually date and the last thing i want is her verbal banter on who i love and who i want to have sexual relations with and where i go and what i wear. she can take a f!cking hike thank you very much

Having/doing one of the following things should help you.

1. Find a meaningful career that you will love

2. Find a hobby.

3. Find a girlfriend/boyfriend.

4. Watch Yes Man.

Nope, not a bit.

No never felt that way.

No. I have a good co op and am going to school. I know I don't want to be an engineer though so that kind of sucks.

Yep

I am in a wheelchair and about to graduate with a double major and honors, but I have no internships, no co-ops, no interviews, no jobs, no nothing.  Scratch that, I have debt, so I don't have "nothing."

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"]welcome to my world.Toph_Girl250

meh, i think i'm too young to start thinkin like that...and maybe you are too, tc

I just want to make money.

I don't care how...

I don't care where...

I just want to make so much money and have piles worth of cash.

I'll probably die before I get to enjoy any money I earned, but still, it keeps me working.

No, I try to keep some goals so that I have something to work towards and don't feel that way. I've definitely felt that way more than a few times though.

[QUOTE="ionusX"] well no they wont "stop me" but what they will do is make me feel absolutely horrible about leaving. my mother at first started guilt tripping me about her inability to stay in our home and etc and all that. and now she says that if she leaves she doesnt want to move into a place that take pets. and that in turn means that the family dog that i have had since i was 14 will need to be put to sleep. ive known that dog for 9 years of my life and it breaks my heart to think that she would do something like that.

Sounds like you need a miracle..look no further

Other people move on no matter what. All you should care about is you and you only. If you react negatively to everything going on it will not have a good affect on you and your prospects. What do you want from life? I have these feelings all the time and I brush them off because it is the best thing to do. Do not dwell on life as time will consume you.

Sometimes. I typically go back and forth between feeling like I'm not doing "something" with my life and feeling like I'm lucky to be alive at all. Up until recently, there was a consistent effort to remain on the positive end of that spectrum only to end up swinging back to the other end, but now, I think I'm beginning to feel comfortable with the idea that maybe I'm just made to go back and forth periodically as opposed to being wrong in thinking that I'm on that positive end at all times or that I have to be on that positive end. Life's been easier since then.

Yes I do, I have no idea what I want to do with myself after school or with my future. I try to find something but I never do so I hope somehow I'll stumble upon something to really give me a purpose. Until than, well I guess I'll just live on like I have been.

Pretty much.. I see nothing good in my life, not getting any better. but I'm not feeling sad though. Dogswithguns
