When Everything Seems Meaningless, …?


Hi, people. I’d like to ask you a question:
What would you do if you feel like living is meaningless?
I mean, I feel like time is passing around me, and I’m here “standing quite still”, staring at it pass right through my eyes.
I may have depression, social anxiety (sociophobia), so I’m not good in talking to people, nor I can’t.
I don’t know what I like doing anymore, I’m always bored and tired.
I want to do things, but I don’t know what… It’s like everything I used to like now seem useless.
I’m a teenager. At the end of next year, I’ll try entering in a college. So I have only to the next year to do something “funny” before the “professional life” will actually begin.
I’m programming myself to change, I’m trying to change into someone who enjoys life.
I try enjoying life, but what is it? What’s enjoy life, what’s “Carpe Dien?” (seize the day)…
How can I enjoy something if I don’t know my likes and dislikes?
I feel numb… time is passing but I don’t feel it, I think I don’t feel nothing anymore…
I’m like a nobody occupying a niche… In school some people try talking to me… Since I got really “depressed” (about 2 years ago) I got antisocial and scared to talk to people. I had only one friend, and now he is away from me. I lost all my friends.
Now I’m trying to get them back, talk to people, but it’s really tough, and even doing that, I still I feel numb, and worthless, useless…
I have one last year in normal school, before study become work, and work becomes a reality, and “fun things” become “teenager silly stuffs, unacceptable to your age”.
I’ve never had a girlfriend, or even something similar.
I don’t know what is living…
I think for me it doesn’t matter if I’m alive or dead…
In any case, I feel like I’m a dead who is somehow living…
I began trying to change myself since a month ago. I got sick of all this, so since then I’m trying to do things I was scared to do before. Which means, get back my friends, talk to them, even though a Hi, and other few, small challenges but that’s not the point.
I try finding things that interest me, but I don’t know exactly how. So far I haven’t find a clue…
The only thing I actually enjoy doing is listening to musics from all over the world in many languages. Right now I’m listening to russian. So, I study languages as well, but I turned it into “work”, I got too worried about the work life, and so I found myself studying not more because it was fun, but because I had to, so I got bored , burned-out about it too, except the musics.
I feel after all, I’ll not even get a job, so… I’m destined to die all alone without having actually lived? I think this is my biggest fear… though I realize it happens everyday…
I see people who seems to be happy… traveling around the world, knowing new people, doing whatever they want to…
Why can’t I?
*** What would you do in such situation? ***
Please, please, don’t tell me “go to a doctor/counselor/therapy/talk to someone”, killing myself or anything similar, really.
Just try imagining yourself in such case, and if possible, try answering me by what would you do.
Just to be clear:
– I’m not suicidal, I don’t want, never tried and never will try to killing myself;
– I won’t go a doctor;
– I just want to find a meaning on life….
*Forgive my wrong english, my native language isn’t it.
Thanks for reading/answering.

Any Jobs For Lazy People?


I don’t want to work. I am lazy. But not personally lazy. I am “other people” lazy. In other words, I am lazy when I have to work for other people but work hard for myself such as lifting weights, working out, making money in a job I enjoy, doing something I love.
I also hate running a timetable according to someone else. I dont like being obligated or committed. It is the lifestyle of being free that I love so much. I was tied to a career, a home and relationship and was msierable. I recently was laid off, filed bankrutpcy, and relationship is over. I am free and i love it.
I wish I could stay home and make tons of money. I hate having to be somewhere to make money for someone else only to increase my bank account with a small amount just to pay my bills. I tried starting an internet business so many times and failed. Its all a scam. Anything that is offered to me is a scam. The only way to make money is so find a niche ON YOUR OWN and start from there.
I wish I could do what I want and make my own hours. I love freedom! I need flexible hours. Maybe work two jobs acording my schedule? I actually got layed off from a full time teaching job and now work as a subsitute teacher and love it! I don’t make much money, but I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I have no boss to answer to, dont have to work that day if I dont want to either. I only make 80 dollars a day, but I love it. No more teacher meetings, no papers to grade, different student faces everyday, if i had a bad day i never have to go back to that school again, and no coaching after school sports. it’s a dream job. Now if I could find another flexible job to supplement my subsitute job.
Again, I will work very hard if it benefits me personally like working out at the gym or writing or doing something i love. But having to start a career and work for someone else give me knots. I love having a flexible lifestyle.
Money is something we all need but im miserable when I have to work hard for someone else in order to make money to survive. That is the part that sucks.
I thought of several careers for fun or easy jobs–but most are low paying–
Flight attendant, actor, writer, subsittute teacher, call center job sitting on your butt, working hotel service jobs. Im much older in my 40’s and im done with the career, home, get rich, have a family lifestyle. I just enjoy being single, free, money in the bank and making my own hours and having fun. That is the best life. Free of chains!
Anyone got ideas for a lazy guy who wants to make a lot of money sitting on my butt and working my own hours?

The Wide Range Of Opportunities Of An Mba Or The Specialized Stream Of Mtech?


Now a good paycheque is very important to me. I have a Bachelors In Electrical engineering. I love technology and i’m also good at managing people.
I know about the wide network an Mba allows you to develop and the never ending opportunities in a variety of sectors for an Mba graduate. Should i choose this over the niche field of electronics where opportunities are few but the pay cheque would be on par with an Mba grad?
I have loved electronics and has been a childhood dream to work in a lab where world changing work goes on.
I sd keep in mind even the tuition fee for both. An Mba in IIM wd cost me around 13lac while in IIT/IISC id be paying peanuts.
I want to write either GATE or CAT and have given myself till end of nov to decide which. I don’t mind the hard work needed to be put for either.
Any and all kind of advice is welcome and highly valued! Thanks!
(I’m working now in the software field if thats anything)
– sorry for the category or if u see this qn ppping up everywhere. I want to get as many ppl as possible to answer this.

Do You Think My Horse Is Too Old?


I have a 19 year old TWH gelding that I have had for 14 years. In all my years owning him, we have really found his “niche”. He’s done just about everything and I was riding him consistently until about a year ago. He was fed up with endless circles in the arena and just wanted to rush through everything(including trail rides). I ruined his work ethic and he was disconnected from me. So I gave him what he deserved, early retirement. He has been out at pasture(not counting occasional rides this summer) for the past year or so. I honestly haven’t been giving him the attention he deserves, but he isn’t lacking. I went to visit him today and he seems like he wants to re-connect. The thing is, I don’t know if he’s too old to re-train. I want to ride him again, but the reason I retired him is because no matter what you did, he wouldn’t slow down, he was go go go all the time because he just wanted to get it over with. I can’t work him in a pasture or arena without him acting like this and I wouldn’t immediately take him on trail after a year off of work. He would be sooo full of it and go so fast. I was thinking about possibly cart training him. When he was recovering from an abscess, I spent several hours ground-driving him to work him back up to being ridden. So he has some experience and did well.
I want to know if he is too old to re-train and if he isn’t how should I go about either(riding or cart training)?
He is sound and has only had a few soundness issues over the 14 years I’ve owned him. He had an abscess last winter, a minor stone bruise in the summer 2009, and was kicked in the fall 2006. The last couple years I rode him, he had sporadic mystery lameness in his left leg that seemed serious because of his TWH head bob, but the vet said it wasn’t, even though he couldn’t figure it out. We put him on regular cosequin and it cleared up. He hasn’t been on any supplements in over a year and is sound.
What do you think…
Thanks!

Can Someone Please Shed Some Light On This Work Situation?


I am feeling very confused about my attitude towards my job. I’ve been living by myself in the DC area for a little more than 3 years now. Because I am by myself, I focus a lot of my attention to work. I think that it also has a lot to do with my workaholic nature as well. Things were going well at work for the last 3 years, and then I was transferred to a new group so that I can have a more specialized niche within my group. I was transferred from oil/petroleum-product markets to the natural gas market group. This had happened while I was on vacation. (Because even though I had expressed interest in working with the gas market group, I had qualms about working with the director because he has a reputation of being a jerk at the workplace.)
The director of the group first had a great impression and high expectations of me. But after several mistakes that I’ve made, I became the laughing stock of his group. And there doesn’t seem to be much chance of a turnaround. Almost all of my responsibilities have now been shifted to another analyst that they had originally recruited. I am now under a Performance Improvement Plan, and the staff in his group (including the director himself) just don’t seem to be interested in working with me anymore after 6 weeks with the group. And there doesn’t seem to be any patience for training either (but this has always been the culture in this group. “You either get it or you don’t. We will find someone else.”)
When I was transferred to the Gas Market Group, my old group (oil/petroleum-product group) hired someone else in my place. She has 3 years less experience than I do. When it became apparent that things were not going to work out with the gas market group, the director of my old group and several senior managers basically told me that I was screwed. They told me to start looking for a new job. The director of the gas market group seems to try to work with me somewhat, but he has better things to do.
Recently, I found out that the girl hired in my old spot is only being paid $3000 less than what I am currently paid, even though I have 3 more years of experience than she does. This, on top of the fact that I had express more interest in the Gas Market Group to make myself more valuable to some managers at my old group; still being told to work weekends without any kind of compensation; and the fact that I am the laughing stock in my new group, just makes me feel really negative about my job.
I go through the days with the attitude that I just don’t care. It makes all the crap that I am going through more tolerable, and it helps me get through the day. But I don’t think that this is a helpful attitude to have, considering that I am under a Performance Improvement Plan right now.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me what I can do to get through 6-7 more months at this job? To get somethingn positive out of this whole experience?
