I don't care what happens with my life
45% Normal
7 Comments

I don't care what I do when I get older. I feel like if I become "successful" (i.e get a respectable job and family) then that's great but if I end up single and wasting my days away in some trailer park I don't really care.
I consider myself a fairly smart guy and I feel like I could be successful if I really tried but I don't really care. sure I'll work my ass off in school and try to find a good job but I just don't feel like it matters what happens to me.
Do you think it's normal?

Success is an illusion. All of those people who spend their time studying to get into a good school and get a high paying job are wasting their lives.

Totally normal man. I couldn't give a shit what happens. As long as I have food on the table, a roof over my head and people that love me, I am happy. I can build my own house for 4,000 quid. Don't even need that much money. I grow and raise all of my own food as well. It's all good.

I think you should think about what "success" means to you. It means something different to each of us. For some people, it means doing something for work that makes us very happy. Wouldn't you want to use this one chance at living in this wonderful thing called "life" doing something that makes you very happy? I think you should stop thinking about success as equaling to how much money you earn and think of it more as what would make you feel you are happy.

Maybe you are a hormone drenched adolescent going nowhere at the moment imagining that poverty is nothing to cope with. But keep it up & you will care someday.

When? When you are working your ass off at a job you hate - week in, week out - and never earn enough money for the basics.

Then you may wish you weren't such a smug & lazy arse earlier on.

i hear u dude. wouldn't it be great to just do nothing and have everything we need regardless? food, money, love.....
but it isn't realistic, and even if u don't care much, people around u care- family, friends... and will constantly be on your case to better yourself, and u will feel like a looser.
trust me, i know.
plus i'm guessing you're extremely young to think that, cause older people have responsibilities. we can't avoid it, it will eventually catch up on u.
