In college and I miss my mom really bad, and my hometown? 2nd semester?
Is the college "god awful" because it lacks something or is it god awful because it's not home? Sorry but you really need to break up the pity party. Get the heck out of your room and start joining in! Go to some of the clubs etc and get to know people. Like to read, join a book club - if you have time for pleasure reading while at college. Like to run, join a running club, like chess..... like tennis... you get the message :-) Unless you are planning on always living in the same home town you really need to let yourself develop the skills of getting to know new people and living in new places. If last semester was only great because because you attached yourself to someone and vice versa you did not make the most of the opportunities available to you. Instead of looking at your time as a countdown till you can get out of there, look at is as a limited time for you to learn more about yourself away from home, to get to know a wider variety of people before your return home.
I lied about my hometown?
I've been texting this guy for like 9 months now. He always text me and at first, it got a bit annoying but i didn't want to be mean. We had a class together but then he moved far away and i added him on facebook then he gave me his# and would text me everyday. On facebook, i put my hometown is Hawaii (i did it just for fun) but he suddenly told me" So your from Hawaii?(;" im thinking" He was checking my facebook out?" I just replied saying yes and he started asking me what's it like and i just said it was calm and beautiful (lol i didn't care before because i wouldn't see him or anything). Months later, i started having some feelings for him (we talk atleast everyday) and i see that my sister added him on facebook so im afraid they will start talking and he will bring up being from" hawaii". What to do??
Is it normal to feel down when you come back to your home town?
Yes it is. There’s many reason why you would feel down when you go home. All you can do is take it one day at a time. Accept you’re there, focus on positive activities, see old friends, and take time to yourself. Plan, set goals, and see where you want to go in your future, and start doing the work now to get there! Best of luck
How come I suddenly stop caring about everything?
I'm a freshman in college. I worked my butt off in my four years of highschool. I studied, did all of my homework, and did whatever else I could to get my grades higher. I graduated with a 94 average. I was planning on going away across the country to college to exprience life on my own. To make a long story short, when I went to orientation, I hated the school and what I saw, so I came back home and took the semester off and got a part time job. I'm back in college, but in a comunity college. I'm with the same kids that didn't do any of their work in highschool. Basicly, my four years of hard work got me nowhere. Besides school life (which is all I really have), I'm living with my mom and her boyfriend (I fight with her alot...its hard to deal with), I've never been in a realtionship before (not even a date, not even a kiss), and I've been struggling with stuff my whole life that other people would find hard to understand (I've been cutting since the 9th grade, but I've been clean for about 4 or 5 months now). And, over this past month, I've been noticing that I really don't care about anything anymore. I don't do well in school, I don't do my homework, I even skip class, and I don't care. I finally got the hint today that my most recent crush doesnt like me the way i like him, and I don't care where life takes me and where ill end up in the future. Its not a concern to me. I'm just very relaxed about everything, and not in the good way where im calm, in the bad way where I don't really care about anything anymore because everything I worked for has gotten me nowhere. But honestly, I kinda like not caring, I don;t have to get let down anymore by having my hopes so high. But anyways, even though I dont mind it, why have a suddenly stopped caring about everything?
Whenever I return to my hometown for any length of time, I become overcome with depression. Is this a common phenomenon?
I’m not sure if it’s common, but I also get depressed if I go “home” for more than a day, and I also know many people who feel the same way about where they grew up.I think that places are a lot like people—based on your experience with them, they make you feel a certain way. A lot of this is forged out of our memories of them. So, if you were really unhappy in your hometown and had a lot of bad experiences there, it’s not surprising that it would depress you to go back and have to revisit those times.My parents were great to me, and I could not have asked for better ones. But the sh*thole bedroom ‘burb in which I came of age was racist, homophobic, alt-right, extremely traditional (gender-roled), and rife with drug and alcohol abuse. A lot of shame in that place. If you were different (read: brighter, smarter, talented), it was not a conducive atmosphere in which to achieve your personal best.I look forward to reading more Quoran’s answers. Great question, by the way.
"I have planning to go to my hometown." Is this sentence correct?
No, it's not a correct sentence. ‘I have plan to go to my hometown’ and ‘ I am planning to go to my hometown’ are the correct ones.
How would you feel if you left your hometown with high hopes and had to come back home with broken dreams and regrets?
Been there, done that. It sucked. But…at the time, I thought I was doing what was right.Long story short, I was married, in the Navy (aviation), and thought I was going somewhere. My wife decided she didn’t like San Diego - or CA in general - had no friends or family, and because of my answers to “how were things today”?, she decided I was either coming back in a bodybag, or not coming back at all. It caused a lot of strain. She packed up herself and our son, and headed back to the Midwest. I stuck it out another year, and was forced to make a decision; Navy or family.I left the Navy, a career, and headed to the Midwest. I joined a Naval Reserve unit, but it was back to, “You’re still in the Navy”. We lasted a year and a half. I couldn’t go back active duty because of an injury, so my military career, and all the hopes and dreams that went with it, of a long lucrative career, and retirement, were done.
She rejected me but keeps coming back?
Please bear with me I'm very confused by this girl. I went out with a girl once but she told me she likes being single, which at the time I thought was her not finding me attractive. (Later found out she's been single for a very long time) So I was hurt and forgot about her until she poked me in a party and tried to flirt. I didn't want to flirt back so I kept it casual and left early. I didn't want to be around a girl who played games. She'd be cool with coming to my room last semester (after the rejection), but never actually hung out with me somewhere, she'd always have a reason not to. So I basically forgot about her and avoided her even though she'd post something on my facebook every now and then. So yesterday I'm faxing something and she pokes me again. Things get awkward because after we say hi, I try to make a convo but she just stares at me and smiles... so I try to make more convo and she says "I'll go now". I'm like wtf? So later that night I asked her if she'd like coffee sometime, and she said yes, scheduled it for tomorrow afternoon. I don't know why this wierd girl keeps coming back to me, I kind of still am attracted to her (she's very hot), but she's almost impossible to talk to... she takes jokes seriously and there are ALOT of awkward pauses where she'd just like look at me and smile and not say anything which was totally wierd. I don't what it is cause she'll flirt or try to flirt but then she'd be all businesslike when I ask her to hang out- down to the detail and everything. I just don't get this girl. 1) Why does she keep coming back? Does she like me? 2) How do I talk to her w/o the awkwardness?
Depressed/homesick after moving away to a new apartment, what should I do?
I recently moved into a new apartment about 4 hours away from my hometown. Quick backstory: I moved here 2 years ago for college and LOVED it. Not just the college part, but the city all together. Through highschool I suffered with depression and anxiety and for whatever reason it went away for those 2 years. Then, after graduating I moved back with my parents. This started my depression again. Mostly because my freedom was stripped (although my parents are very laidback). It was just different and I enjoyed being on my own. Now, the apartment I just moved into with my friend, I had not seen until I moved in. This is because I live 4 hours away and didn't get the chance to come see it. The place isnt HORRIBLE. however, I do not feel at home. The minute I walked in it brought down my mood. I'm not sure if this makes any sense but the "aura" of the place is just bad. I lived away from my parents for 2 years and I was completely fine, but I'm not sure why I'm suddenly missing them so much. It's almost like I wanted to get out of there so bad but now that I did I would give anything to go back. My depression has been very bad the last 2 days. My motivation has gone down to 0. All of my things are still packed in boxes because I don't want to unpack here. I realistically have 2 options: I either move back home and sublet my room (wasting LOTS of money), or stick it through for a year. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
