Hey, everyone. My name's Mickenzi. I'm 21 years old, I'm just starting college, I'm (unfortunately) living at home because I can't afford my own place and I'm currently single. I was wondering, do you ever have days when you're stuck at home with nothing to do because all your friends are working? When that happens (which is too often for me) I feel like my life is just wasting away. I mean, everyday I feel almost obligated to hang out w/ one of my friends just to get out of the house and to get away from that feeling of rotting at home. I don't have a huge circle of friends, and almost all of them would rather play videogames than go out to public places and be social. I would do it myself, but I don't really know how to just get out there and start building a good social life for myself. All summer I felt like I've been missing out on all the things people my age usually do. I could easily be blowing this way out of proportion, but it's kind of hard to not feel this way. Anyone else out there feel the same way? What do you think?
Yeah, exactly, a lot of my friends are doing the same things you've mentioned. I'd love to get out there and do stuff, but now it's all about video games and other shit. So i value the times where we actually do fun stuff and get out there and do stuff (besides video games etc!!)
And I also have the same problems with summer etc. Like, there have been just days, when I don't do things with friends, cuz they are either at work (like you said), or doing other things. It's like I enjoy my summer vacation, but it's a drag sometimes. So yeah i hear ya, I feel like that lmost every day, feeling that "oh, I gotta call him/her up to do something before it's too late"..that kinda thing, cuz I don't wanna miss out and all. And I am starting college soon as well (first year). And no, I don't think you are blowing this way out of proportion. I'm sure a lot of people surprisingly feel this way and are in the same exact situation. Hope it all goes well, hope this little rant of mine helped lol :)
there are way too many to list here but i'm sure you can find something to do when not with your friends. who knows? you may even find that you like doing something so much that it becomes a business enterprise. good luck.
DEFINETLY you have to do changes in your life. The only way your will get different results than the ones you get right now is to do some things in a completely new way. Get into a club of something you like, learn to play a musical instrument, begin to practice a sport, go to the gym or get a job. BE IN PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE. You are still really young and have a hole life ahead of you... go for it. Also, look for a poem of Walt Whitman... CARPE DIEM...
Well, that would be my advice, and yes... I have been through the same.
i mean,rotting at home is what i do,playing nfs mw or carbon or max payne or some other bloody game on the laptop, and not studying because it BORES ME TO HELL
i don't have a gf,hell i don't talk good with girls actually i mean just by being myself i sort of woo them away. so i can't be someone else to have a girl,but i want a girl too.
and yes i don't have a great friend cirlce too,just 3-4 guys regular at college and on phone.pen pals,u might say,by email,and orkut and facebook
i don't do drugs,alcohol,or resort to prostitutes to vent out my frustration.
fuck! the society is made in an anti-me way
now i don't even know what am writing...fuck!
