What is about me that nothing seems to inspire me anymore?
I uses to have big dreams about life. But I've been so dissapointed over the years that nothing seems to cheer me up. I'm still finishing grade school. I'm single and I don't have a bf because I've met the wrong guys but I feel so disconnected and cold towards life. Like I don't know what to do? I keep asking myself all these questions but the more I think the worst!
Nothing in life seems to motivate me or fire my ambitions anymore. I seem to have become very disinterested in life at the age of 22. Any advice?
hey dushyanth,can i ask u something?just think for a while how does it feel when we see a person,who want to go for a ride on his byke,but says he has no time to fill the petrol and gets on ,go for a ride!!!sounds silly right.yes,same is the case with our lives buddy.This competitive world pushes us into a race where we lose ourselves and overload our life,brain.when a 16 hrs of day work requires 8hrs of sleep then may be u raced for 22years in your life without rest,without finding the real you.its time to rest for a while now.I know this is generally considered to be the period of making carrears ,butthis rest is not quitting from your goals but for fuelling your byke(life&brain).“an arrow has to be draggedback to hit the target at double force and at a greater speed”Dont question or answer anyone ,but just explore the real you in this rest.question youself and answers come from within.And that is enough to motivate you and fire your ambitions.ALL THE BEST BUDDY
Nothing on this planet can inspire me to do anything great. I have tried everything but nothing can penetrate my heart. What are some suggestions?
I would like to write here an advice my father gave me a few years ago: "Only a few lucky people do what they love and you can be one of them if you learn to love what you already do." In this case, it means you should find the thing that annoys you the least, master it and find the inspiration and love that hides in it. I would suggest something that benefits other people, not just you and at the same time isn't too specific. Maybe you won't find what you're looking for in that subject, maybe you will find something that really inspires you later in your life. But by that time you will already have a set of useful skills, because you weren't just lying on the couch, you were doing something. This new inspiring thing will probably not be a job, that happens rarely. But that's not a bad thing. One of my favorite writers was E. T. Seton. He wrote about his observations of nature, actually he was one of the first writers to depict animals as animals, not just anthropomorphized talking metaphors. When he was young, his parents pushed for a serious career of a salesman or a clerk. In one of his works, he wrote, that he realized quite soon that his passion for nature was so great, that he doesn't have to go for expeditions to arctic prairies, his love for nature will be the same even if his expeditions start at the backdoor of his drugstore. As I said, you have to be really lucky to turn your passion into a job, but that doesn't mean you should give up on looking for passion at all. Maybe this will help you to look for it somewhere you didn't even expect it to be.
I'm 28. I'm already tired of living. Nothing, literally nothing seems to inspire me to live. What should I do?
Friend, think yourself lucky. The greatest thing that happened to you is that you've stripped off all personal ambitions. Since you don't want to live for yourself, live for the less fortunate - people who cannot help themselves. Visit a local ngo. Buy some clothes for the elderly in an old age home. Help a kid to get education. Or gwt yourself a pet dog from the street. Spend quality time.know what life means!!!
Why does nothing feel important anymore?
It s almost as if my brain doesn t let me care about anything anymore. If there s a big event that I should be excited about, I m never excited. If something tragic happens like someone passes away, I don t feel sad anymore. When important deadlines or exams are coming up, I can t get myself to worry about them enough to study or get things done. It s like I know how I should feel about stuff and I pretend to feel that way, but to be honest, I don t feel much of anything at all. I m 19 and I ve had depression/anxiety since I was 13. Although it s not bad anymore. Is it possible that this has destroyed my brain and my ability to feel things overtime?
I have no motivation to do anything anymore. Please help!!!!?
I'm in high school (a Junior) and have lost motivation for pretty much every thing I do. I'm currently failing one of my classes which last quarter I got an A in. Most of my other grades are D's and B's and C's. I only have one A. I procrastinate extremely too much, and I only want to sleep nowadays. It doesn't help that this is the grade that colleges look at most when applying. I haven't done my homework in a long time either. My mind just tells me there is no point to do it. I've lost motivation to do things I used to love. Painting nails was my passion. I could paint almost anything on my nails, but now, the most I can be bothered to do is paint them black. I've lost motivation to get up and do chores. Getting up and spending 5 minutes on laundry is like asking me to run a marathon. I don't know what to do. It's like I've given up on everything. I try to motivate myself by saying that the colleges I want to get into won't accept me with my performance now, but in the end, it still doesn't motivate me. Instead of doing y homework I normally go on my computer for about 6 hours and do nothing productive. PLEASE HELP!! I am losing hope!!!!
I feel like nothing out there inspires me and I don't have any energy to do anything. What can I do to get out of this circle?
First detach yourself from this feeling and start doing something out of nothingness. Easier said than done. I started to say prayers and read books without even wanting to do it because I had to get out of my misery. I kept leaving things in between and starting them again. Its a hundred times failure and then one time success scenario. You have to achieve it because theres no other way out. Start by tiny actions, old hobbies that used to interest but may not interest u at the momentIt will help you come back to life. Goodluck
I can't inspire myself to write my books anymore, please help?
So I'm writing two novels, and I know they're really original plots. I used to be so inspired about writing them; I'd spend hours writing and feel like I was actually living in the stories. I used to be in touch with the characters and plotlines. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and have a flash of inspiration and wrote it down for the next hour. It used to be so good. Now, for some reason I can't fathom, I can barely write a sentence that I'm happy with. I have to remind myself of the plot from time to time, and trying to write it almost isn't enjoyable anymore, because I'm just not inspired. I KNOW the plots are original, but sometimes I'm doubting them now, even though in my heart I KNOW that they could take the child/teenage market by storm. It's just so hard to write nowadays though. I have been working on the first novel for around 3-5 months and have about 100 pages of varying quality. The second novel I've been working on for between one and two months, and have about 50 pages of varying quality. How can I get re-inspired? Help!
Since the past one year, I have become weird. Nothing inspires me, nothing motivates me. What should I do?
Surprisingly enough, this reminds me of a phase in my life about 5 years ago.Exactly how you worded it. I got therapy for depression soon after that. What you're going through is a rather common scenario that follows right when depression is setting in. And therapy would definitely help you out.However, that is not going to suffice. There is the part you have to play to fight the stagnation caused in your head.Here's what I'd suggest - 1. Get a new hobby. Any hobby. ONE that you apply your brain to regularly. Key thing is, it has to be fun in your book. Could be video games or nature photography, you pick!2. Learn a new skill. This is definitely different from the hobby. This is not about fun. But if you can have fun too, yay! Like a language/welding/using just a trimmer to give people a haircut!3. The above two things will get you a sense of discipline in short bursts, so here is what you do long term, Workout. Choose your path. Gym? Cardio? Yoga? Your pick. Human body has the capacity of producing pretty awesome elements that keep us happy and hearty, biologically! You know what I'm talking about!4. Finally, after about 3 months of implementing the above, you are now equipped with a healthier body, a more skilled mind and a better equipped persona thanks to your hobby. SO you join activity groups and see if you can add a sense of bigger purpose as a team with your skills and knowledge!Hopefully, this will also give a boost to your sex life, which is, trust me, just as important as a social life, regardless of what the old uncles and aunties try to fill your head with.YES I tried all of the above and yes it worked. Hence I'm suggesting it to you. And while there is no common "one cure works for all", I do hope your situation improves, as mine did.Cheerio, mate! ;)
