19 don't know what to do with my life?
Hey guys. I'm a 19 year old male that's really concerned about my future. I've been going to community college for that past 2 years now but still have no major. Nothing at school really interests me and the only reason why I'm going is because it's expected from me by family and others. I currently work a crappy fast food minimum wage job. I don't want to be at this forever. What are some options for me? I've always thought about joining the Air Force but I want something that's going to give me a stable future and income for the rest of my life. I could care less honestly about becoming rich. All I need is a roof over my head and running water and I'm as happy as a king.
I'm 19 and I don't know what to do with my life?
I don't go to uni because I have no idea which career path I want to take. I currently work in a meaningless part time job working 16 hours on weekends. I don't know what I want to do with my life and I'm starting to get pretty worried because I know my time to decide is running out.
I'm 19 years old, don't know what to do in life.?
Hey everyone, just wanted to start out by describing myself a little bit before i get into details on why i pretty much hate life. I'm a 19 year old guy, i work out and am pretty good looking. I am still a virgin, don't want to date, but i talk to girls and generally get along. I am a social butterfly and i talk to many people, a lot of people like me and i'm a nice person to talk to but i really don't have a lot of friends. This generation is so electronic based and i can't stand that, i enjoy talking in person rather than text or calI. don't have any best friend and i guess i'm a loner, i spend most of my time alone. I don't think i'm depressed and i don't feel like this often. I am normally a happy person but i just don't know what to do with my life. I can't go to any of the colleges i want to go to, because my parents are paying the tuition of my older brother and my tuition would be too much, so i'm stuck in a community college which i do well in but really hate. I'm majoring in business but it was kind of forced on me by my parents and i went with it. I really have no interests and no direction in life whatsoever, i don't know what the hell i want to be or where i am going to be in the future. My mom doesn't stop bothering me about finding a job and all this other **** i need to do for schools and education etc...( i am picky with jobs even though i know i can't be) my father is not supportive and often tries to shut down any idea or plans i have to transfer, telling me i can't transfer anywhere but i learned to ignore him and still try to do things my way. I don't know, my life is just meaningless, i have no purpose. Everyone wonders why i don't know what i want to do and i really can't answer i feel like this is a big issue in my generation though. This just makes me question my existence, why the hell am i here? what the hell is the point of even living? i thought about joining the army or the marines to be on the front lines and just get shot or something to end life already i don't even want to live past my 30s i dont want to get old.
I'm 19 and have no life?
As the title says, I'm a 19 year old guy and I have literally no life. I don't have friends to hang out with since most of them are all far away now and in college, or I've just cut ties with them cause they weren't good for me. So I have no one to talk to on a daily basis. I don't even text anyone. I've been working since July and make pretty good money and get a lot of hours, but on the days where I don't work, like today, I have done nothing but stay inside and use the computer. I don't even know why this is. I don't hang out with anyone, I haven't even dated anyone in years, and I just can't seem to enjoy life like this. This is my last year of being a teenager and I don't have anything to show for it. It doesn't seem normal.
I'm 19 and i don't know what to do with my life :( !help!?
I understand how you feel and trust me, you aren't the only one out there who feels like this. I think the best thing to do would be to make a list of goals for yourself. For example: get a job, rekindle friendships that were lost, maybe start dating, etc. You're only 19. Don't feel pressured to have your life together ALL the time. We're only human and we all have to start somewhere. But from personal experience, I feel it's best to make a list, and slowly try to accomplish each one because as you start to do this, you can look back at all of the things you've done for yourself. Everything will eventually fall into place. One thing I've learned through my trials is that you HAVE to have patience. If you don't get a job, after applying for tons, there's a reason. That specific job maybe just wasn't meant for you, and eventually you'll find one that makes it very obvious as to why you didn't get the others, b/c the one you do get will make you happy. You just have to be positive, and start somewhere. You can do it!
I'm 19 years old and I don't know what to do with my life. I have a lot of interests, but I just can't decide between them. I don't have a life project. What should I do?
There is an old joke punch line that might help you as a life motto for now. "You can't get there from here." Nobody, not even you, can give you directions for the rest of your life. If you have a lot of interests, then you have a list of possible "destinations" in hand. (Artist. Musician. Computer Geek. Pilot.) Be a tourist. Go exploring. Some people choose a single village and never leave. (Front desk manager at the local hotel for 50 years.) Others try many different roles and tasks as they develop multiple skills. As they accumulate skills, they discover which ones they enjoy, and which they'd rather avoid using. The tendency should be to develop the enjoyable ones, and those others tend to rely on. When people begin to rely on you in a certain area it is a sign of a marketable skill. Take your list. Act on some part of it every day. Choose one or two things (that don't conflict) for a month or a year and make them the center of your daily routine. Share the results even when they aren't amazing. Experiment. If you realize something you don't want to do ever again, you have the rest of your list to work on, plus all the new things you haven't thought of yet. When you find something you genuinely enjoy, keep it at the center of your daily routine. Keep on pursuing your list of interests, but keep those experiments to the side and use the skills you gain to complement your central pursuit. (This allows for unique combinations that others might not try.) Eventually, you will reach the rest of your life. There are paths you haven't even imagined are possible, and the only way to discover them is to do what you see in front of you every day. "You can't get there from here." ... but you will frequently arrive somewhere interesting, and by the end of your journey who knows what sort of path you will have left behind.
I am 19-years-old. I really don't know what to do in life. Is there anything wrong with me?
Absolutely not!!!I am 19 myself and i very well know what you are talking about.When i was in school, i planned a future for myself... step out of school, get into some hotshot college, get graduated and then find a job....( i planned to be a forensics investigator...and i still don't think it was a stupid idea)Anyways... i did the first two and then once i stepped into the so called "real world", i realized there is a lot more out there that i want to experience... the list so humongous that it is overwhelming.Life isn't just about your grades, your college, your job... it's what u as a person want to become.... After getting a taste of the real world, i have come to learn a lot about who i am...as a person. i have realized that whatever i dreamed of achieving was not something i wanted truly in the first place.I like the way Americans do it.(not all but some).. go out into the world... travel... u will learn a lot about yourself...that will help drive the indecision away... come to terms with who u are in real without the embellishments and masquerade we put on for the world.Also... most adults too are indecisive when it comes to choices in their lives( atleast those that i know of)... so relax... take a step back and watch life and the rest unfold infront of your eyes because honestly how many times do you really have the power to change happenstance (i am not talking grades here). you have come to earth to live... donot waste that precious time worrying about being wrong.Enjoy ;)PS: however much i have talked about not worrying about being indecisive it would be stupid for me to say and you to assume that things are just going to happen on their own... u will have to give it a helping hand.. so when u have realized what u want don't waste anymore time to go about chasing your dreams... they won't be waiting around the corner forever hoping you catch up.Sayonara buddy and all the best ;)
I'm 19 years old and don't know what to do with life. My life is boring and I do nothing the whole day. Can anybody help?
Dude...do you realize that this can be the best time of your life.You have this young blood. Nobody is going to ridicule you for not earning the month's salary, or for not paying bills or EMIs or for not providing insurances to the family.You have this whole lot of energy as well as options in front of you..So what all can you do..Lets seeExplore:Spend a day outside house, all by yourself, explore nature, people, lives, birds and see what each does.Tire yourself. Work out, do something you like, something you are good at..Basically find out what makes you happy and try doing that practically.Converse with people, with strangers, know them, observe them and think what you observed...pluck out the petals from the rose and leave the thorns intact.Hang out with people..not with immortals. Think that you don't have your laptop for a day. Talk to your friends. Spend time with family and cousins. Most importantly interact and smile.Music- Listen to music..its the best healer. At night, listen to songs that bring solace and in the morning, listen to those that bring you motivation.Read: If you are a curious person and like to read, then make eclectic reading a habit, a routine. Hours will pass with a blink of an eye.Gain knowledge:Try to achieve finesse in the stream( studies) you have chosen( as you said you are 19). Nothing is boring until its not understood.Trying to follow these steps which can help in cutting down your boredom and making your time fruitful!
