..never find the motivation to try to actually act on it? Example..I always imagine on how I'm going to meet a guy. Whole conversation and all but I never try to go out to try and make it happen. Example 2..I always picture myself studying my eyes out to become something meaningful but never hit the books. Example 3..I imagine myself working my ass off to make good money and be able to afford to accomplish all of my goals but I never get up to work..I can't find any motivation to help me get up and do something with my life. The idea of meeting my dream man doesn't help. The idea of having money doesn't help. The idea of accomplishing my goals doesn't help. The idea of making my parents help doesn't help. Seriously nothing helps! Is this normal? How do I find that motivation?!

    There is too much difference between what you want to accomplish and what you are actually capable of. You throw the ball too far and end up being unable of reaching it. So to speak. It is not just a matter of motivation really,you have to know yourself and set realistic goals for yourself rather than creating a persona you then can't quite act like. Thinking about doing something and picturing yourself doing it is one thing but planning something you know you can accomplish is a completely different matter. Yours are merely wishes. So I suggest you find yourself something constructive to do and STOP FUCKING DAYDREAMING!

    I constantly imagine becoming a popular artist, but I don't put in much effort to further my drawing skills, and every time I put my drawings up on the Internet, I wind up taking them back down for fear that they'll get made fun of.

    I have the exact same problem... if not worse!!!

    But as a huge optimist I somehow find randsom motivation sometimes. My advice is, when you have any sort of motivation at all take advantage of it because that moment will not likely come again... force yourself to do everything that requires motivation as soon as possible.

    It's normal to me, but it really shouldn't be. I have actually cried quite a lot over this problem, I am a very high-reaching person when it comes to goals and the thought of them never being fulfilled is unbearable.
