I freely admit that I have the maturity of a 7 year old. At 19 I live at home, waste my money on stuff I really don't need, and don't really have too many skills/hobbies/interests. Maybe thats fairly typical for someone my age... ...I also can't seem to make friends or even connect on a basic level with people. I quit both college and a pizzeria job in 2 week irrational fits of self-loathing and laziness that I now look back on with disgust, but which I know are far from behind me. Going on anti-depressants and seeing a therapist soon, but not sure how to move forward otherwise. Any other goon shut-ins out there? Share and share alike, you know there are bigger losers than you!!

OP. I think you should send your post to a child of Darfur. She can have it read to her by someone in the Peace Corps that can sign with one hand.

Look at it this way: you'll either get better or you won't and there's probably not much you're going to do about it. So it's entirely up to the fates to pull you up from your doldrums.

OP, are you sure you have absolutely no friends? As in, nobody you haven't talked to in months if not years? If so, call them up and see how they've been...that is the first step.

My best friend growing up was interesting and funny, when we were 14. He never got a job for very long or went to school and at 27 he still lives with his parents. Spending lots of time on Stanley Kubrick newsgroups and forums posting Video Game soundtracks. I tried many times to help him. He's been to doctors and counselors. Basically he just sits on the internet all day being self loathing. He has slept with one girl before. So there's that. It's a really sad life for him. But he's always been "depressed." He's never followed thru with anything other than his only job that I'm aware of was at a video store for a week or so when he was maybe 18. Grow the gently caress up and do something that you're not comfortable doing. Get around some other people. Get back into school or get a job. Get a trade if you don't want to go to school. Be an apprentice. Do something! Go hike the A/T or walk across the country. Being apathetic about absolutely everything is such a waste. There are so many options out there. The only one you shouldn't pick is doing nothing.

Keep sitting there for a while more. Soon a layer of dust will form over you, keeping you warm and making you feel cozy. Eventually cobwebs will form around you, and you will make a whole host of new spider friends.

Maybe thats fairly typical for someone my age... stop being immature. Start saving your money. Soon you won't want to live at home and living with your parents is the best way to save. Stop spending money. Just stop. It's not hard. pick up a hobby. If you have a hard time not spending money then start spending your money on your hobby or finding one. it might be typical of people your age but if you aren't happy with it then why should you pretend to be okay with it? quote:...I also can't seem to make friends or even connect on a basic level with people. I quit both college and a pizzeria job in 2 week irrational fits of self-loathing and laziness that I now look back on with disgust, but which I know are far from behind me. if you think it's disgusting that you quit them then get a new one and don't let yourself quit. That means that you have to do something that you don't like but that's why it's called work! quote:Going on anti-depressants and seeing a therapist soon, but not sure how to move forward otherwise. I have been friends with people like you and what it comes down to is that you don't want to help yourself. Unfortunately, it takes work and discipline, something that most people don't want to put into themselves. Out of fear, laziness, whatever. it makes me kind of angry that people have all these problems and that when solutions are offered they're like "wow, that's an awesome idea but that means I have to do this....". Well just loving do it. discipline and desire to better yourself. That's all it comes down to!

I completely understand your bewilderment. My old friend had nothing in the way of him becoming a person that could lead a normal life. Yet he stays the same. Even though many people over the years have tried to help him.

Even though many people over the years have tried to help him. I guess that when I read "recovering" I don't think "not wanting to change". This is all out of the lack of desire to change... it's not that people don't have a choice. It's that they don't WANT to take it. Guzwar posted:But what if the only thing he wants to do.... is nothing? I think that most people in this situation DO want to change. They just don't want to take the necessary steps to do that. I have recently dealt with a person who wanted to change, who I gave much advice to, yet didn't. Why? I have no idea. But they didn't want to be who they were. luscious fucked around with this message at Nov 07, 2009 around 03:55 |

Do something. Right now. Shut down your computer, and go do something. It doesn't have to be with anyone but yourself. It doesn't have to be something you have done before. It doesn't even have to be something most people would find interesting, hell it doesn't even have to be something you think you will find interesting, because if you don't find it interesting, you don't have to do it again, and if you do find it interesting, you have a new hobby! In case you can't think of something interesting to do, here are some suggestions: Go to a martial arts beginners session. Judo, karate, and taekwondo are good, and yesterday I went fencing for the first time, which was cool. Build something. If you have power tools available, use those, if not, you don't need them. It can be impractical or practical, a big project or a small one, complex or simple. Start some other sport. Biking and running are good because you don't need to have a partner, but even if you aren't in a large city you can probably find someone playing badminton, volleyball, tennis, basketball, hockey, squash, or ultimate frisbee at any time of day. Make art. Painting, drawing, sculpting, whatever. Watch something. A movie in a theater, a play performance, a concert, or something else. So do it. Right now. Leave your computer on only long enough to find an activity, if you need the internet to search, then shut your computer down, and do something.

Because change takes work and work is hard. Staying as you are is easy. Unsatisfying? Yeah, but it might get you pity and that's better than nothing to some.
