Why do you hate your life?

[smithy_2045]

So, I'm sitting here at my computer, feeling pretty shitty. I've been in love with a girl who doesn't feel the same way for the past 6 months, and can't move on. I'm hoping in my heart that she'll change her mind, but in my head I know that's probably not going to happen. On top of that, in the past week I've developed a crush for one of the guys at the cricket club, which has completely taken me offguard since I didn't know I was bisexual, or that it was possible to have a crush on a guy and be in love with a girl at the same time. It's really fucking with my head, which is particularly bad because I'm not all that mentally stable at the best of times, and I'm on holidays from uni (and have no part time job) so I have a lot of time to overthink about it. So I'm writing this out in the hope that it somehow helps me deal with it, because I hate feeling this way, and I'm worried that the longer I feel this way, the more likely I am to do something I'll really regret. Since I needed to get it off my chest, but mostly pointless rants aren't really a discussion topic, I've shamelessly tacked on a really lame discussion topic.

So, what aspect of your life do you hate?

Well, I don't have a girlfriend. Other than that my life is pretty damn good at the moment.

 

[thespyisdead]

because i am 19, and when it comes to talking to women, i become a bloody stuttering wreck (it's usually the women i don't know). also, since i have never had any experience with women, and having a female friend that i am interested in, i have no idea of how to approach the whole situation of telling her how i feel

It is.

I suppose the only annoying thing that my circle of friends is starting to shrink with my age. But that's about the only thing I am truly dissatisfied with.

Someguy stole some christmas presents i bought yesterday when i put them down in a shop for a few mins. It was only 10 quid but they sold out of that gift and i knew my girlfriend would love them. I hate people somtimes. I hate being misanthropic but who the FUCK steals christmas presents. What kind of filth eating scum worm do you have to be to do that. Despite not really minding about the objects and being able to replace them basically this kinda thing makes me very very very very angry. The hatred i hold for this person is way out of proportion and i cant really let this kinda thing go.

What an awesome depressing thread. Go misanthropic internets!

Theres a billion reasons to love life, and most reasons to hate it are kinda first world problems, hell mine doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Also i miss the very close circle of friends i used to have. Sure i have like 30 people who like me and are fun to be with, but aside from a girlfriend i have no one i could describe as a "close friend"

But..but..I don't hate my life?

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I don't hate my life. My life is awesome! There are so many awesome reasons to think life is awesome, why would you go around hating it!?

 

[Naeras]

I.. really don't. I'm lucky enough to be living in one of the countries in the world with the highest living standards, the prettiest girls and the easiest ways to get a good education. I have friends, family, good health, video games and ladies that seem to like me. Why would I hate my life?

 

[Memoriae]

Well, I have a pretty sweet job, I spend my spare time reviewing games for a friend's website. I'm engaged to the most awesome woman in the world (shut up), I actually get on with my future in-laws as well.

I'm not short for cash, I have my health, friends are in touch (despite me living a couple of hundred miles away).

So yeah, I really don't hate my life at all.

 

[tippy2k2]

While you may not hate your life, I'm sure some reason that applies to you is in this song somewhere...



I personally hate that I owe a small country's capital in student loans and have a job that a high schooler would be able to apply for (and have a realistic chance of getting, though maybe not now because all the college students are after this dinky little job. Don't get me wrong, love my job, hate my pay).

 

[Skorpyo]

Aspect of my life?

To be honest, I don't actually hate my life. I enjoy the fact that I am alive. But I hate the situation I live in.

I've found that this sums it up nicely:

 

[Thyunda]

I have no friends in this city, I'm a hundred miles from the closest family member, my girlfriend doesn't even try to defend me if her friends insult me, I've been in near poverty now since April, I was actually worried that turning the heating on would bankrupt me entirely. I'm concerned I'm developing schizophrenia, but also too paranoid to see a doctor about it, in case I get hospitalised for supervised medication. I skipped university and may have unintentionally crippled my future, my former friends all turned to marijuana and alcohol, not as a pastime, but as a lifestyle, and they continue to harass me...spent my entire life getting beaten up, I've been hospitalised for head injuries more times than I can count...uh...what else? Oh yeah. I'm very good at getting things done, but I never, ever get any credit for any of it. Fending off debt collectors just by telling them I didn't owe them shit? How many people can do THAT convincingly? NOT MANY, otherwise debt wouldn't be a worry.
Do I get credit? Does anybody acknowledge my victory? Does my girlfriend appreciate the fact I just talked our way out of a legal contract? (Her former roommate had signed both names on the contract. Legally, we'd have been screwed)
Oh, of course not. I don't get appreciation for any of the bloody miracles I perform. I'm not asking for worship, but something more than a token 'thanks' would be nice. My former friend nearly got himself cut up. Who was it that talked his attacker out of it, at risk of putting himself as a target? Of course, it was me. And now look. I'm treated like a damn joke to the lot of them.


And you know what? You know what trumps it all?

I fucking love my life.

(I don't hate my life is not a valid response)

A huh ... I find it pretty much impossible to hate my life. I live in a developed country where I have many rights and indulgences given to me for simply being here. Do I bummed every now and then? Sure, but I can't find any reason beyond selfishness to hate my existence. I should also probably mention that I'm only 18, my life hasn't even started!

Oh, and OP, don't get too hung up over love or crushes. Ultimately they're just chemical reactions in the brain, there really is nothing magical about it. Your brain likes being with that person so endorphins will be released. Besides, If she doesn't feel the same way, she could hardly be some sort of perfect match for you. Just start looking for someone who does cause that similar endocrine reaction and enjoys being with you.

 

[Actual]

One thing I hate about my life a tiny little niggle that overshadows everything else. A minor health condition, a permanent stomach upset, nothing life threatening.

My life has the potential to be great and I can see how to make it great, but because of this one impediment I can't reach it. I can't concentrate in work, I can't socialise near as much as I'd like, I certainly can't date, I can't exercise or do anything which requires strenuous activity. It pisses me off, the only thing that keeps me going is the hope that it could maybe one day somehow get better.

 

[Phasmal]

I just got over an illness that has been ruining my life for 2 years.

So now that I dont have to be in and out of hospital, knowing as soon as I went home I would get worse again. Not being able to work, get about and sometimes even get out of bed. No more having people stare at me wondering what was wrong with me.

So, nothing is getting to me recently. Everyone takes their good health for granted, and you dont realise it until it gets taken away.

 

[TheAmokz]

Hate? I LOVE my life!

No one will let me stick little Richard up their drainpipe.

Conveniently, Tim Minchin wrote a song about my life. Here it is.
