Aside from death, what do you worry about in the future.

[Doclector]

Pretty obvious, with "Death" taken out because...well, it would be obvious.

Spoiler: My over-long answer about being forced to go to the jobcentre

I started thinking of this topic because I randomly got thinking this morning about when Uni ends, and I'm finally forced to sign on at the jobcentre. Through my pursuit of further education, I've never been able to look for full time work for long enough to make going there worth it. The one time I did, they insulted me for choosing to look for part time work so I wouldn't have to quit when I got to college (I was in a four month blank between princes trust and college). They guilt tripped me, wasted my time, and generally made me feel like crap.

And when I get out of uni, I'll be forced to endure that, possibly for years, in this economy.

I want to work. I know that when I don't have objectives to work towards and problems to solve, my own paranoia makes things up to worry about. That's another reason I dread the end of uni. They don't see it that way, though. They see everyone as another waster, another benefits scrounger, which I do understand, hell, for the two hours they kept me waiting, I heard plenty of people trying to get their money early because they'd spent it all on non-essential things and supposedly forgot about food and the like, but being accused of something I didn't do makes me really angry.

I paced up and down my room this morning, practicing my defiant speech for when the terrible day comes. "Insulting me isn't going to get anyone anywhere", "I don't want to be unemployed anymore than you want to deal with me", or just flat out admitting "I'm not a very stable person, and treating me like this isn't wise". I know none of it will work. They're all scumbags who work for our scumbag government, they won't listen until something bad does happen, which I can guarantee it will. I'm almost thinking of just walking in there and beating up the nearest worker I see, just to make a point. It's all useless though. If I don't get a job quick enough, I'm going to jail, that's it, I'll fucking snap, they'll fucking deserve it, but I'll be the one going down for it.

I guess I've just gotta make my tolerance of them last as long as possible, and always remember: They're the government. They are my enemy, and always will be. They want me to snap, and will do their best to make me. The most harm I can do to them is one day being successful, and gaining enough influence that I can help to put a stop to them.

Prison.

I'm afraid of something going terribly wrong that will land me in prison, either I make a hell of a mistake or I cannot control my emotions and I end up doing something bad, or just something. Nothing scares me more than the lack of freedom, being locked up in a cage.

So yeah, that is what worries me most about the future.

 

[yuval152]

Math, I hate math but it's important for the possible careers I want.

 

[King of Wei]

I don't worry about anything really, just kinda drifting along.

 

[FamoFunk]

Money mainly, job security and the general economy getting worse.

I really worry there will come a point where me and my partner will seriously worry about how we're going to pay the rent, bills and feed everyone with everything but wages rising and having a shitty government who punishes the poor and helps the rich get richer.

It actually keeps me up some nights wondering and panicking.

I also worry that I'll never own a home and will be forever renting which to me is dead money, saving up for a deposit for a mortgage is pretty impossible for a long time.

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

I don't fear death. When death comes for me then it comes for me because everybody has to go sometime and when God thinks your time is up then it is up.

Dying however is another story all together.

I smoke. Will it be cancer?
I drink. Will it be liver failure?
Will I be hit by a car? Will I be murdered when I'm alone one night? If someone breaks into my house and stabs me - will I bleed to death?

Dying is what gets me and what affect this will have on my family bothers me.

Another thing I worry about is my personal life. Will I get married? Will I give my mother a grandchild? I've never been good in relationships and I worry about letting down my parents. We all want the perfect life but there is no such thing. I worry about where I will be in ten years. Where will my job go? Will I have one?

Life is a terrifying prospect.

Take me back to ten years old any day! The only worry I had then was if I'd make it home to watch Pokemon on time.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I have a good friend I'm always worrying about.
I also tend to worry a lot about my family and the people I care about,
much more than I worry about myself.

uuuhhhh....wow, I think you need to calm down/try and be more positive

I know its not going to change anything coming from me but the government actually isn't evil, its full of bullshit at times...but it can also be helpful

if you do have to go there again (you don't know for sure) things may turn out differently, maybe you'll see another person, maybe the worker was having a bad day, I don;t know the other side of the story but I think your taking it to heart..just a bit

again this is also going to sound like bullshit but I kind of believe in having a positive attitude,because constant cynacism/negativy can turn into self fulfilling prophecy's

but anyway....

OT: I worry about the same things alot of other people do. That I'll be poor and have no money, I know what thats like (and to leech off others) and it honestly makes you feel worthless, I don't want to go back to doing that, and I have mabye become too accustomed to having as much disposable income as I do....to no longer be able to buy comics/games/DVD's is a downright depressing/scary thought

fortunatly I'm incredibly lucky...mabye too lucky, I havnt exactly earned all the good things I have in life

 

[Casual Shinji]

I worry I'll end up alone and disconnected from society... Well, more so than I already am.

I also worry I'll never get a girlfriend, or that in my many years of having no social life I won't even realize when a girl actually does like me. And I worry about not being able to handle the rat race.

 

[Euryalus]

I always worry about what people think of me. I have social anxiety disorder so I'm basically paranoid
I also worry about the usual stuff, work, school, relationships etc...

Aside from the S.A.D. thing though, I'm pretty easy going.

 

[manic_depressive13]

I worry that I'll never learn to be happy, my relationships with my precious few friends will turn sour, I'll never find something I genuinely enjoy doing and, after all that, I still won't have the guts to kill myself and I'll end up living the rest of my life being a miserable piece of shit until I get lung cancer.

 

[Bertylicious]

I worry about being a burden to others, about being carried through life and ultimately damaging them. Both in a direct way by people I care about, friends, family, lovers, and also in an indirect way, society, co-workers, etc. I don't want to hurt anybody.

Kind of the opposite of you, judging by your rant. Saying that though, being consumed by entitlement sometimes seems like a pre-requisite for massive success so you go girl/bro!

 

[Casual Shinji]

Aliens.

I worry that when they arrive we'll be drastically let down as they'll be more harmless than Xenomorphs, less technologically advanced than Alf and unable to communicate with us so we'll just put them into zoos and eat them in our tuna cans like dolphins.

You know, they're going to make an Alf movie. Apparently by the same guy who made The Smurfs.

I guess I got one more thing to worry about.

 

[IamQ]

Not getting the grades I need to be able to get into University.

Seriously dude that's pretty damn extreme. You seem very angry all the time.
Beating up a government employee for doing their job to prove you're not like the `scroungers`?
Yeah that'll work. The only people I've ever seen to start a fight in the jobcentre have been scumbags. Being hostile? Snapping at them? There is no quicker way to prove you are just like the `scroungers` (which is a nasty label to place on those on jobseekers in the first place).

I've been unemployed for a while, and yeah, jobcentre people can be pretty harsh and uncaring but they're just doing their flipping job.

As for what I'm worried about?
Getting a job, being able to support myself after such a long period of sickness, being able to provide a better life for potential kids than I had when I was growing up.

 

[Torrasque]

I worry about not being able to do what I want, not being able to get the kind of jobs and work I want, for the rest of my life.
I don't just mean "I want to go see the world for the rest of my life!" I mean, I want to create games, create books and stories, create so much. My problem is I am very good at coming up with new ideas or modifying existing ideas so they are better, but am bad at actually 'creating' said idea. My writing isn't that good, I don't know how to create video games, don't know any of the technical aspects of how to make music, etc.
Besides all that, actually getting your idea out there and successful--again, I don't mean Harry Potter status where you become a household name--is ridiculously hard for artists.

The stat is like, 1/1000 book ideas that get published see any kind of popularity, and even less for video games.

I have so many ideas but no outlet for them besides making notes in my phone saying "new idea for a game: ..." its maddening =|
Especially when I see video games created that contain aspects that I have thought of, or terrible games that could be so much better if they used some of my ideas. No, I don't think I am a genius that would revolutionize the gaming industry, I just think my good ideas could be so useful to some of the stale-ness you see in the gaming world.

 

[Wadders]

Pretty much fucking everything really, I'm anxious as hell.

For example, will I make friends on my new course at Uni because I'm starting late? Will I run out of money for it? Will I be able to find work at the end of it?

Then there's the day to day type things, do I pester the cute girl at work too much so she thinks I'm being weird? Have I done enough work today or will tomorrow be a total shitstorm instead? Will I be able to see my mates on the weekend or will I miss out? Someone hasn't replied to a message or text, do they hate me?

It's all pretty pathetic, should probably man up.

I Think I worry when I@m bored, keeping busy is they key.

I always worry about what people think of me. I have social anxiety disorder so I'm basically paranoid
I also worry about the usual stuff, work, school, relationships etc...

Aside from the S.A.D. thing though, I'm pretty easy going.

Now this rings a bell.

Didn't realise it had a proper name

I'm ok once I've been around someone a bit and got to know them one on one, but I suck in groups, I always think people think I'm weird somehow. Same for you?

 

[boradam]

What people will think of me, if I am a burden to my friends or family, if anyone actually likes me or if they're all just trying to make me feel good about myself.

I'm a very insecure person, so go figure.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well currently it's me being able to find another job.
You see I was unemployed for quite a while (likewise I was a jobseeker at the jobcentre) and it was few months ago I finally got a job. Sure the pay isn't high but I'm just glad that I finally out working than doing nothing like I used to.
Now these days my parent (and my brother) want us to move into the city so I can find a better jobs as there will be more vacancies in a city.
Ok sure I don't intend to work at my current job place for long but I want to have least a year of experience working for that place (look good at my CV). Yeah 6 months at least is suitable but I'm not exactly confidence nor do I want to rush for another job simply because of getting paid better (money isn't my main priority since at least I getting some than being broke).
