Why do you hate your life?

[NiPah]

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?

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

I hate the fact that at some point it will be over.
I hope to rectify this at some point.

Why exactly? I can't find a damn thing wrong. I'm not trying to be arrogant, but I can't. I have a wonderfully close relationship with my sisters and mom, I have a supportive girlfriend, I've finally got a job offer to start my career in the field I went to college for and my health is top notch. I'm a happy person. =^_^=

Just that I have to endanger my life by taking medication that's been prescribed to me. Incredibly severe allergy to dust means I look like a burn victim a lot of the time, and that means I have been refused jobs. The medication fixes this, but it's not good for my liver or internal organs.

Which sucks.

But hey, I have a lot of good stuff in my life!

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:

This reminds me why I hate my life. We are a generation of men raised by women. And let me tell you, I think the law should prohibit single mothers from raising SONS if it was a divorce. She will hate him. Just because it's his father's son.

(Quoting you because you're one of many who have asked this question and I can't be bothered quoting all of them.)

Because this is specifically a thread for people who need to rant/vent about why they hate their life, not a thread for people to brag about why their life is awesome.

If it makes you feel any better, OP, just about everyone you speak with has gone through something similar to what you're going through right now. Seriously. You're not at all alone. Also, most people, if they're being honest with themselves, are attracted to someone of their gender at least once in their lives. It's not a big whoop, so don't let it mess with your head too much.

I'm aware, I just needed to vent before it got out of control. I've learnt from past experience that it's something I need to do if I want to maintain some sort of moderately healthy mental state.

Never said I was bragging, but you stated that "not hating your life" is an invalid response, but it's clearly not since not everyone does, such as myself. Those people can chime in as well, but, anyway...depressing thread is depressing so...bye thread!

I'd philosophize but as the OP said, this thread is clearly about venting and ranting. And you know what, everyone needs a good rant/vent once in a while. So enjoy it guys!

I don't hate my life. I have a family who loves and cares for me, a roof over my head, and other than my kidneys, weight, and legs I'm in alright health. My life is uncomfortable because of my lyphedemia brought on by my kidneys. My lympedemia is stage 3 (and there are only 3 stages so it's bad). My legs are so big it's hard to lift them up into a car and I don't walk anymore I waddle. Some days it's hard for me to even get up in the morning. I have a bunch of pills to take daily, massages to do, lots of doctors to see, and physical therapy 3 times a week to keep my massive swelling in check. But even through all these hardships it could be worse. Even though my kidneys aren't functioning properly they're still working right and don't need a transplant or dialysis. So all in all it could be worse but sometimes it can be hard to look on the bright side sometimes.

You, yes you! You're awesome. I love your attitude. If there was ever a 'legitimate reason' to hate your life, it'd be that. But you know, you don't wallow in self-pity. You don't hate your life! You feel good. I hope to one day aspire to share the same attitude you have. *Bro-hug.*

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, sort of a phase am I correct?, but it really makes me happy when I see someone with an attitude like yours Spawny.

I do hate the fact that I was born with a cleft lip and palate a little bit. Looking different from everyone around you growing up doesn't help your self-confidence much. Still got a bunch of surgeries to go to look...normal. Or at least more than I was before.

Other than that I don't really hate much about my life. I am a lazy bastard who hasn't planned at all for college yet. Never had a girlfriend (whole cleft lip/palate thing doesn't help).

Other than your usual nerdy problems I'm kinda ok with my life at the moment. At the very least I have a loving family.

 

[Tsunimo]

But I don't hate my life...
I suppose I dislike the fact that I slacked off these last two years of school, but that can hardly be changed now, so why fret?

 

[similar.squirrel]

There's a general lack of embroidery designs in my existence.

Also, I'm a fucking screwup and have nobody else to blame for my current situation. Fine and dandy apart from those two things, though.

Happiness is a defense mechanism used by naive people to convince themselves that the world isn't the burning shitball that it truly is.

There is no happiness, only ignorance. Saying you're happy makes you ignorant, knowing about the world and being content with it makes you a sociopath. Realizing the world is a piece of shit full of billions of walking pieces of shit and making the best of it... that's realism. The only respectable option of the three.

OT: There are hardly any things that I hate anymore. If something isn't that bad, then there's no reason to hate it. If something about life is shitty, I'm not surprised in the slightest, and it hardly affects me. It's useful to not have a fragile mind.

Question: when did misanthropy become the only reasonable option? And trying to say that happiness is an illusion. Cute.

 

[Quazimofo]

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

yeah, as is mine. though i am in a *semi* similar situation to the OP, because i like a girl, hope she likes me back but know she probably doesn't and never will.

on the flip side.... stuff like this exists

<youtube=9upTLWRZTfw>

so i really cant complain


ANYWAY! i know how you are feeling, used to be i was the same way (mentally unstable and usually had way too much time to think about things to make myself feel worse when something bad happened). so i feel for you my friend. but, as my above comments likely indicate (or at least i hope to hell they do), one of the better ways to solve this situation, is to not think about it. find things to distract yourself from it, and cheer yourself up.

if this is the extent of your problems, or at least the big ones, then overall your life probably isn't that bad. not discounting your confusing situation in terms of sexuality of course, its just that there are so many GOOD things to counter-balance the bad, your life probably isn't that bad at all.

in short, when you are feeling down, just remember all of the little things you have, all of the little things which make you happy or which cheer you up or luxuries you have, and be grateful, because they may be incredibly commonplace amongst the population of your country, but they are still nice things nonetheless.

so lets get your mind off of this shall we?

this should help (in addition to the above video)

I'm actually completely happy aside from the urge to get a girlfriend. That's all it is, an urge, a dumb primordial insinct, a girlfriend is the last thing I conciously want. Relationships make people emotionally dependant on one and other, when one leaves however, and they will, the other is left to go through a sort of withdrawal, a terrible one at that. I've made so much progress as a person, I'm so much more confident and happy now, if I were to get into a relationship, after what, a month, she'll leave, and I'll be a wreck once more. No way.

That's forgetting the fact that I actually can't get a girlfriend, I'm too damn ugly. I guess in a way, that's to my advantage. I can't be tempted by something that's eternally out of my reach, right?

 

[DanielBrown]

The social phobia I developed after an assault and spending almost a full year indoors really messed up my entire life. Every time I try to do something about it I end up even more isolated than before.
Been six years now...

Wouldn't say I hate my life, but I'm pretty disappointed in how it's turned out. I'm weak as fuck when I used to be a cocky and charismatic guy. Don't really see any future for me, but I'm still trying to turn it around. Very slowly so.

Let's see...

I live in a stable, developed country, free of widespread war, famine, drought and poverty where I have access to free healthcare and education. I have a roof over my head and three square meals a day. I have a tight knit group of friends who I know have my back when shit hits the fan and an even more tight knit family who love and care for me. I'm in generally good health. I'm not poverty-stricken, I'm not starving, I'm not fighting off any wild animals or armed militias on a daily basis and I can generally trust that I'll wake up as alive as I was the night before.

Yeah life sucks...

Seriously though, If can tick even a third of those boxes, you really shouldn't be complaining. Sure the world ain't a rose garden for anyone, but you know what...

IT COULD BE WORSE!

OT: I guess it seems that I've lost the plot by saying that I'm generally pleased with life. Alright...um... I guess I'm a little pissed off at how unspecialised I am at everything, especially at this point in life as I really have to start thinking about the rest of my adult life and there are so many things I want to do with it that I've had to abandon some dreams that I've had. Also not pleased with the amount of pressure A-Levels are putting on me, but I can generally handle it. Hell, I managed to pass all of my GCSE's after moving to England from Canada part way through Year 10.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The milk I have in my cereal isn't cold. THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME NOOOOOO

Nah, I'm quite content with my life.

 

[Chefodeath]

Oh, where do I bloody start.

I'm a fucking loser. I used to think I was talented, witty, and philosophical, but more and more I discover that I'm not any of those things. My writing sucks, my music sucks, and my ideas suck. I've got shitty grades in college and I haven't been on a date for years. I have no money, no prospects, and my hairs already starting to thin. I live my life silently loathing my parents who I'm incidentally forced to rely upon, but more hating myself for being such a pathetic sap. I'm just a piece of shit swirling down life's toilet.

I won this thread.
