Never mind Dallas. He's a bit of a drama queen. You know, likes to overemphasize stuff.Callisto wrote:This is exactly me. Except I'm going on to my sixth year of college, and I'm going to be doing graduate school in January and really don't want to but feel forced into it. :/ Society stresses me out and I don't want to do any of this. I have no control in anything. It's not that anything bad happened to me either, but I'm NOT HAPPY. Maybe I'll just take a semester off and then wait to see if I get matched to an internship in April. If I don't I think I'll just say "screw it" and take my dietetic technician exam and get paid less and such. I've had enough of school.Dallas wrote:In the recent weeks, I have felt more alone than ever. I have an idea why, but I just can't accept it. For the past 5 years I have done the same thing over and over. Get up, go to school, come home then nothing. It's getting old, and I'm starting to hate my life. I don't want to live anymore, it seems I can't do anything with it. I regret everything that I have become and what I have done. I don't know why I feel like this, it's not like anything bad has happened.
Got friendzoned by a girl (by acting against my advice ) so his world broke apart. He's a good guy, a bit too idealistic for my tastes, but I think he's on the right path nevertheless.
Now, where was I? Right - what about you, Callisto? What do you think is the source of your lack of happiness? You said that there is no apparent reason for it. I think it's because you're a sensitive person (probably an Idealist temperament, introverted, either INFJ or INFP personality type according to MBTI, if you ask me). So people like you - and I know what I'm talking about because I'm similar - are altruistic and don't really like the way things currently are in our society. That's fine, but you shouldn't let external issues affect your health and personal happiness. Found your own microworld as I call it, which will incorporate only people and things you (can) affect and interact with. If we all tortured ourselves by worrying about all the evil that happens in our world, we'd break apart. Besides, there's no point in that. Live an example, trust God and that's that - you can't change the world by yourself...
Unless there's something else on your mind. If there is, I'd gladly try to help.
