I feel like that my life is pointless.
I have a fairly successfull working life and i read novels all the time so my imagination is in full working order. I think that I am not a stupid person, also i am not bad looking. Why then do I feel detached from the day to day workings of this world? I exist but I don’t interact. I don’t want to forge relationships with the people who work/live with me because they are imbeciles or I just don’t relate to them. Where do I go from here? I Just can’t see a future - can anyone suggest anything?

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Then who are you going to forge relationships? People you don’t work with or live with?
maybe you need a change of scenery. Have you every thought about going on a trip, or finding a different job?
sorry my computer is slow, My first response was in reply to littlenick. I am in the airforce so i sometimes go on trips :) But who do I go with?
What I meant was, if you don’t interact with them then who’s left to interact with?
Why are you afraid of forging relationship with people you work with or live with?
You really think they are worthless? Have you given them a chance?
dear, why don’t you try something new and interesting?
what about travelling? travelling is a good way to meet new people:)
and you could do something like voluntering ?
if you feel talking then i’m here :)
write me a shout .. anything.
you know doing the same things each day can be frustrating . try something new :)
I never said that they were worthless. I spend time with them and I would help them if they needed me. I just don’t feel amy kind of real conection with them. I feel like I am at a decision point in my life i just don’t know what to do now
oh, just saw your reply…. then why don’t you go with a friend?…
or just bump into a caffee house, try to talk with the waites.such things
dear, why don’t you find new friends?
library, theater, cinema… ????
why don’t you join a curse.. any language course? music course? playing any instrument?…sports?
swimming is a good way to make you feel better , really, it calms you down, makes your mind clear
ha ha what just go on a road trip on my own? I could but I think all I would see is a lot of empty coffee cups at the end of the counter
you never know..you could meet an other lonely backpacker…someone to keep you company:)
don’t be so pessimistic..ok? as you said, you have a nice job, you seem a nice and cool person.. so there shoud be a point in life..
Thankyou :). I don’t think that a am pessimistic really, What do you think the point in life is?
you shouldn’t ask me about this really.. cause i’m even more pessimistic then you are at this moment.. you should read my last post.. there’s my blog enetry..that tells you everything..
but yeah well i try to take life easy.. cause i know that i can’t really change most about how i feel… mostly my problem seems to be like yours..loneliness and the feeling of just wasting time
but i’d say that each time of our life we have to find something as a point in life..
like when you’re in love your point in life is to be happy with that someone.. and to make him/her happy..
some poeple who are concerned about charity i guess see the point in life to help others.. to makethe world a better place to live
of course.. we all die one day.. but maybe your name will be remembered because of something.. i don’t talk about being famous.. but your children, grandchildren will be surely sorry that you died, and they will remember you.. that was a point in life again, to make a family..
i can’t tell what your’s is.. but you could try figuring it out..
you know what i think.. if you ever love in your life, if you ever help in your life, if you ever smile in your life… then your life wasn’t pointless… cause you didn’t just stay wasting time.. you DID something
i’m sure that finding the reason in life or the point of it will just make you be more and more far from living it as it should be..
we all have hard times.. but there surely is something you can do.. remember.. appart from religion.. it can’t be a simple coincidence or mistake that you’re here:)
you may not agree.. but still, you should try to make something whch could make you smile.. or feel different
You make me smile because i have given the same addice before. Unfortunately in this stage of my life I don’t believe in any magical overseer. I help people still whenever I can, but although when I end I will fight untill the end of my existance and so that my family won’t suffer, I really don’t think that there is a purpose to all this. I hope that I will be proven wrong.
i hope so too
and you know what…
i feel like a liar.. cause i give you the advice of trying new things.. of making new friends and so on.. but easier said then done.. i can never do that.. i struggle with loneliness even more then i did a month ago..a nd still.. feel so strong and weak in the same time.. i hate to know what to do, but never be able to do it..lol
but that’s my problem, has nothing to do with you or your’s..
so i really hope you’ll be able to find your reason in life… a point for which you feel that life it’s worthless
if you need to talk we are here..
everytime someone..
if you want to talk with me, shout me..
take care
bye :)
I think that we are very much alike and so genuinely wish you the best of luck ln your ultimate outcome, goodbye.
Hey,
Here is what you should do. You’re going to talk to people at work. Inquire about their families, relationships, and their health, then invite them to dinner. Voila! a relationship!
=) All the best.
life is wot u make it. i hav been in th same way feelings wise an i got my self out of it by goin out talkin t leople i met at oubs clubs an college. i now, after only four months o this hav a gf uncountable numbers of friends from all over the country and abroad tha im in contact with on a regular basis. if tha dnt work seriously cinsider a job change bcoz ur job can really affect the quality of ur social life as the majority of ur time and most peoples will be consumed by work. an if u really get bored try college as a mature student. i am and my life has never been better.
btw im 22 got hailed as a child prodigy hav a degree in chemical engineering and astrophysicism and im takin a levels again just bcoz im bored an i hav nothin better t do. at the college where i am people actually respect me for my intelligence. so like i sed. go out an do sumthin with urself!
