Like I hate who I am but I like it.. I mean I am who I am but I feel I should be different and more outgoing yet I am timid and shy.
I have got better with people and I have friends although I don't meet with them often. i do a lot of things alone I.e trying classes etc.
but when my sister comes in heartbroken from a boyfriend I have no experience... I'm older than her 24 to be exact and my mum is helping her but what can I say? I have never even had it yet, and I should be setting the example. it makes me feel so low and like I'm never going to meet anyone.

    It sounds more like you hate or at least dislike yourself, not life itself, or you wouldn't be wanting to be different.

    You don't need experience to support someone and you don't have to have magic wand: all you need to do is say something like "I'm sorry that's happened to you. Is there anything I can do to help?" and then LISTEN.

    If you can become more outgoing and emphathetic you WILL find someone but take a look at yourself honestly: would you want to be with you the way you are now? Just keep doing what you're doing to improve your life and don't be too self-critical: if you're quiet and shy now you're unlikely to be able to change into the life of the party.

    I would think the question is, "Is it normal to *like* life?" I'll never forget a line in one of my favorite movies. A son is miserable about learning about his mother's and father's upcoming separation. His father approaches the sulking youth to ask after his obviously dark emotions. The young man says, "I just want to be happy." The father replies/asks, "Who told you that life was about happiness?"

    I don't think most self aware beings are usually happy, and it's presumptuous that people would think we, of all the species on this planet, would deserve to be happy normally. And life can be breathtakingly brutal. Even for human beings. So I think, though most wouldn't admit it, most human beings end up feeling negatively about life.

    You have got a case of the angst.

    It all depends on your perspective.
