You know the feeling. You're feeling a mite peckish, so you head into the kitchen. Open up the Mayo for a sammich, and OH MY WORD its all gone.

I've only lived here for a month and I ate a whole jar of mayo.

What in the hell?!

Post your grim realizations and discuss.

Oooh, noooooeeees. Just kidding, I don't like mayo soooo, I wouldn't be too surprised. But, if all the ketchup were gone; emergency trip to the closest store!

There are none greater than "If I don't do my work NOW, I'm actually going to be fucked."

It's quite unfair, really. My schedule is so packed full of leisure time, it's getting harder and harder to squeeze in time for doing school work.

That moment when you realise that whatever you do in your life, in a few billion years it's all just going to be dust and ash, and thus nothing you ever do will ever be worth doing.

Have a nice day :D

Don't do this shit to me, man. I've been really bothered lately. After getting over my fear of death, I'm finding it hard to have a single reason to keep living. It just seems, in every possible way, the least efficient option. Look, the booze isn't helping, but I'm not in a good way and the crushing realization of my own futility makes every morning a struggle to muster the will to rise.

OT: Fucking hell, I'm 25 and already hate my life. I've got so many more years of misery to go. What the fuck did I sign on for? Is there a refund policy on life? Why did I have so much to drink? Why is my spelling still immaculate under the influence of alcohol?

Aside from that fruitless avenue of inquiry, a grim realization came when I realized I was as afraid of success as of failure. Complacency, ennui, motionless terror seems to be the only thing I can deal with and that's both disgusting and horrifying. Christ, what am I doing? No more booze. No talking. Sorry if this is depressing.


EDIT: Wow, okay. Umm... I shouldn't drink and post anymore. Thanks to all the people who tried to cheer me up or explain their views on life to be helpful. Also, apologies to the person I quoted. I hope I didn't upset you with my response to your post. Also, I'm a lot less miserable sober and after a good, long talk with a close friend. No need to worry about me, okay, guys? But thanks for everything.

I'm 24 years old and I've never had a job.

This isn't from lack of trying, I'm a law & criminology graduate, finished just under 2 years ago and have been looking for a job ever since.

I even volunteered at my local museum to try and get some relevant experience with things such as admin, retail etc, and I still can't get a job. I thought I had a sure thing a few weeks back, the interview went great. A week later, I get a rejection email telling me that, while I did great in the interview, I didn't have enough relevant experience. Everything I have done is in my CV, if I didn't have enough experience then why fucking invite me for an interview?

I'm 24 years old and I've never had a job.

Damn that sucks.

As an Architecture student.. "if i sleep in the next two days.. i will fail this project" often followed by "working on this is mandatory, eating is optional, sleeping is out of the question"

There are so many downward spirals and it's draining me to avoid them all.

One example is

Not great socially > annoyed about this > shy away from new social situations > makes me even worse as them and makes me feel bad > further shy away etc
What you want to do is force yourself to eliminate that third step. Just pretend everyone likes you, even complete strangers. Alternatively, use alcohol as a crutch for attaining confidence.

This. So much this. Explains this past week for me perfectly.

Also. You are out of both Whole Wheat and Cuban bread. Scariest realization I've ever had. (Usually happens within a week of buying it.)

Really? I sort of find the absurdity of the universe to be a beautiful thing. Intrinsically life and what we do doesn't have meaning, but; our completely unnatural ability to find conviction, passion and ultimately, a personal will to continue, just makes me realise how special we are in the universe. We may not leave a mark, nothing may ever leave a mark in this magnificent expanse of cosmic wonders, but in our brief time on this plane; we could very well be experiencing the grandest gift to ever crawl forth from the hydrogen explosion at the beginning of time, Life.

OT: My grim realisation was that the coca cola that I was hoping to drink turned out not to be but in the fridge yet, so I have to wait.

My good man, on my better days I've had much the same notion. I've even preached to friends of the beauty merely of living to see another day, enjoying the things with no price, but much value (like the morning-song of birds) and the value of good health, so frequently taken for granted. Lately, however, I am not of a positive disposition. Partially for reasons unclear even to myself. I can't really put it into words effectively, but my response to your post is essentially "yep" and "good luck". I would hug you over the internet if such a thing were possible/allowed.

My grim realisation ws that my lack of confidence in social situations could lead to me becoming an unemployed 40 year old virgin. Now to bore you with the details, I'm 16 I've never had a girlfriend and I'm shy as shit. I can't talk to strangers, I know what I want to say but I just choke and can't get my words out.

EDIT: I've decided to add a less depressing realisation. I'm a tea drinker so I almost die inside when I find out I've run out of tea bags or sugar(I can go without sugar I just prefer it) I have thrown many fits of rage because of this.

I realized the other day that I can get through an entire carton of milk in two days. Now my girlfriend is pissed and wants me to cut back. I need my milk but if we keep buying it so often it'll cut into our grocery budget. :(

...I may have just defined "First world problems."

That moment you realize everyone you love will reject you or die.

The grimmest realization I will ever have--and continue to have inconsistently--is the realization that someday I will die, and I don't know what will happen. It's absolutely harrowing and disquieting. Particularly the possibility of nonexistence.

When I tell you that I would rather burn in hell for eternity than stop existing, I mean it. To me, anything is better than nonexistence.

Does noticing that you're out of toilet paper after pinching off a loaf count? If so, then I can't think of much worse than that.

Don't worry about it too much, that kind of thing becomes a lot less of a problem after high school.
