I just need to vent about my life situation to someone. I'm 30 and I feel like I just suck at every aspect of my life. I'm polite, always try to be friendly but not enough to make them feel like I'm meddeling in anyone business.
In my personal life, i have a few friends but i feel like I'm the one always reaching out.
If something doesn't came up I feel like a I don't hear about them at all. Like I know we are all busy, but still. Lets not even talk about my love life
In my proffessional life, nothing is working out either. I studied translation right out of high school but there was no job market in my country, so I decided to study business administration and I graduated last year with good grades, but guess what? I have been looking for a job for a year and nothing.
I dont want to be the next einstein or fufill a grand ambitionI just want to a normal 9-5 job to lead a comfortable life. I feel like I have done evrything Im suppose to to led a good life, and yet I fail at everything I do. At this point, i wonder why I even bother to even get up in the morning?
Sorry for the long post, I just needed to get it out of my system.

This is pretty normal to feel, you shouldn't feel the need to apologize. We live in a time where we're all more connected through social media but you can still feel so isolated. I don't know much when it comes to the job market but I hope it turns around for you.

I was wondering if any of you guys are in Chicago.

The saying "to what end" always filled me with a fair amount of curiosity. I can't explain why, it's such an open-ended question that if you didn't think about its abstract application you wouldn't think much of it, besides a cool saying for villains I guess. However, as time went on I started to grow more attached to the question. Certain degrees of mental, physical, and spiritual pain invoked that question within me. I don't believe I would be grasping at straws when I say that in such scenarios many people think about and question the purpose of their situations and the reasoning behind their requirement to endure.

That being said, I am at an intriguing crossroads. There is the one part of me that asks "to what end?", in hopes that the end of my draining and treacherous endeveors will conclude. I hold out hope that if I am patient and consistent in my prayers, my faith, my will and spirit, that, I will be rewarded. The other path, the one that I have been contemplating in such depth that I feel like it should terrify me, is killing myself.

To be fair, if I looked objectively at my situation, it's nothing, practically less than nothing. I have a roof over my head, the ability to go to college(albeit not the college I want, and while consistently haveing horrible experiences there), I can work and make a decent amount of money, my family is assisting my where they can and I have friends that care about me. Be that as it may, I still find my self wanting to try, to move beyond surviving. In the military school I went to we were taught the difference between surviving and thriving. We were taught that although money and a fair amount of it can lead to ones ability to thrive, it is more a means of survival. I never got over that understanding, I never got over the urge to thrive, to feel true freedom.

Im trying this again hoping there a dollar out there that will help a fellow dollar out i need $425 by the 10th i can send the money back the 11th

sho.,,.,.,.,.,,,,, there anyhting in the tos abt mentioning eating disorders or anything?? i think itd be fun to meet ppl struggling like me here ( ￣ω￣)ノﾞ⌒☆ﾐ(o _ _)o anywayzz if ur also disorderd feel free 2 talk w me !

So, I got a girlfriend and we are both 17, almost 18, we've been together for 3 months now and it's been really fun, I like her a lot and she's a girl with cool interests and hobbies. When we go out together we do the usual couple stuff, hold hand, hugs, casual talks and kiss. The problem is when I go to her house or her grandparents house, when we are there I absolutely CAN'T touch her, no hugs no nothing, we can't have a moment when we are alone: if we are inside her bedroom with the door closed the first relative that passes opens the door with a dumb excuse without even knocking and let alone kissing or even making out.
To get things straight, I get being protective, she's an only child and they obviously care about her BUT she's going to be 18 in a couple of months (here in Italy being 18 years old signs the passage to adulthood) so just let her be, I can get over the bedroom thing but just PLEASE let us hug at least.
Sorry for the rant but this pisses me off a little.

My partner and I have been talking about marriage tonight and we both have different ideas on what we want. We come from very different families. Mine is very bogan and his is sort of a higher class in a way, my family is also larger than his is have 5 siblings and he has 1. He mentioned having just immediate family meaning he'd not invite cousins/aunts/uncles that he's close with. I just feel like it will be unfair of me to have my siblings and their children and he will have like 8 people present for his side (mine would be almost 30 if including children which is hard not to as my family is out of state). He also mentioned having separate celebrations after including his extended family so it's not like they'd be completely out of it. I just feel like it's unfair he wouldn't have everyone important to him at the actual wedding just because people in my family wouldn't socialise well

Maybe this comes in late so, how did things evolve? Have you figured something out?

Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language, thanks for reading

What should I do? I'm just your average teen student, I play the cello in our schools orchestra and I'm already about to enter senior high, I've been thinking about the future more, I haven't decided on what job I want but I also don't want to give up on playing the cello. I don't have a cello of my own but the school provides, downside is I can't take it home to practice. My teacher recommended to us to buy a cello of our own and going as far as to reach out to a shop in another city to help us buy the instrument since no one sells it here, problem is my parents kinda didn't like the idea of buying my own cello, the price is also high 700$, my dads reason is because it's "too heavy" for me and wants me to play the violin instead, while my mom think I won't be using it in the future so why buy (´•ω•̥`) my friends also had the same opinion, what if I stopped playing cello in the future, which kinda hurt me since why do they always think about the worst, don't they have any confidence in me? Lol ˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ well tbh i also don't have the confidence, what if all the things they said came true? I'll just end up wasting my parents money, but I really don't want to give up on playing the cello,I love it, i want to be better at it, I only have two years left in my school, I'm losing hope just thinking about it

While those are all risks, and that has a possibility of happening I think you should go ahead with it, worst comes to the worst you can sell it on, otherwise you'll be able to continue doing what you love, I've had a guitar for about 11 years, and I had lost interest in it every now and then but I can't put it down nowadays to the point I've fallen asleep from playing it, I mean I hope you don't fall asleep while playing cello but yknow, I think you should go for it, if it's something you really enjoy doing it doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks.

Thank you for the kinds words, but unfortunately I couldn't buy the cello, my parents didn't let me because of the price but it's fine I've decided I'll just work harder so I can buy a cello with my own money, it did kinda hurt since I might have to stop playing for a while.i had doubts if I actually wanted to play the cello, since I felt sad doesn't that mean I really wanted to play the cello? Lol ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍)

It's a shame that you couldn't, but I'm glad that you know what you want now, and hopefully it won't be too long before you can buy one!
