I’m so lonely

I’m 22 and have no friends. No job. Just have one summer class before I graduate college. I’ll have my degree in Biology. I don’t know why I chose this major, maybe because family pressure. They want me to be a doctor but I don’t want to be one. I’m obese. I can’t get myself to take action. I know what I have to do, I just can’t do it. I make all these plans and schedules but I don’t follow them. Advice on how to get out of this rut?

Hmm, I would truly and honestly suggest exercise, really any kind, it releases endorphins which will make you feel happier :) It helped me get out of the social rut I was in. Plan goals and strive to accomplish them. Family pressure sucks but maybe you should focus more on yourself then what your family wants, what are your interests? what do you find enjoyable? You’re interests are the things that will help you find friends and maybe get a career you are happy with. You are 22 therefor your parents aren’t the boss of you. You are the boss of you. I hope you feel better *cyberhug* :) You are never alone

Start small. Find something you want to work on and focus on that. If its your obesity, try starting pushups or walking/jogging. You don’t have to start off at “normal” intensity workouts (there’s no such thing), just do what you can do and what you feel like doing, then work your way up. I was 19 when I could do my first pushup, btw (:

If its Biology or your future don’t worry too much about it-your major doesn’t define you. Find something that does and work on that. It’s not always what you do that says who you are, but how you leave your own unique signature on the way you handle and do things. Again- start small. Volunteer (yes as cliche as that sounds), find something to do but don’t just do it, have your own thoughts and standards -you’ll start having a better idea of who you are and what you want.

You can’t just flip a switch and change your life through a rocky-style montage, you have to start and keep going, but only at a pace that you’re comfortable with.

Not to sound like a complete douche, but it sounds like your life is incredibly blessed. You are about to graduate with an amazing degree, your family has hope in you, you have a bright future ahead of you in a field where friendships are PLENTIFUL, and you will not have to worry about money or companionship. You may not have as many friends as you want now, but you can focus on your school and put your all in it. I think you have things to be thankful for.
