  • These are some of my thoughts on feeling a little confused/lost in life. I feel like we don't treat these things as if they are normal, which I believe they are if you are an independent person that is looking for answers. In a way, I hope this can help dispel the idea that people out there have everything figured out. They do not. Nobody does.

      Yea I finally realized it at 32 as I voluntarily decided to step away from my decade long professional career. It's been a wild decade but I'd rather not have another decade like it. I'd rather do something else, something more fulfilling and enriching than slaving away for corporations, chasing money and women and an empty lifestyle.

      im 13. I have been thinking of this for maybe months now. Whats the point? Whats the point of trying my best doing everything I could if im gonna die one day. Sometimes I just want to give up, if there isnt a point why am I trying? why are my parents trying their best to raise me well? I feel so much guilty about not being good enough.. They are trying their bests and im just in my room thinking why am i like this, why did they have a child like me? even when all my friends are around me I feel so alone. me and my bestfriend, we have been friends for 8 years now and she is the only one I used to feel actually happy around. now i dont even feel anything when im around her. its like im numb now, I dont know what to do but the only thing I cant get out of my mind is giving up

      @@yui2413 aw my friend. I have felt like this. I have found it so hard to understand why my parents care so much sometimes. No matter how I am or what I do they are still doing their best for me. I realised that life is short, and everyone gets this chance to do something in this short time. Our parents know how short life is too, and how expensive life can be, and they have decided to use their short time and money to bring us into the world and raise us. They will always be proud because they created you. They are still learning about life, and they would know some of the feelings you feel too. I’m sure they are always wanting the best for you. I hope you feel better soon my friend

      It's okay to feel so. Just don't try to find what is the meaning of life. You will find it eventually. Just don't try. It will find you. I also felt everyone knows what they are doing and only I am lost. But no. No one knows what the hell they are doing the Difference is some people are not aware about that and some folks like us are aware about that which makes us feel so confused about life.! Just my thinking.

      Dive into the unknown, fly freely through it. If we knew everything in the universe, all the answers to our questions, what would be the point of living and experiencing this physical form. So play this game as if you did know everything and just have fun with where you're at on YOUR journey. Took me a long time to accept, allow, and surrender to that "reality" of the matrix. It almost took me out the game at 25 by suicide. If you surrender, the scary times you thought were scary don't seem so frightening anymore.

No relationship, no amount of money, no cars or dream job will fill that void deep down. The only solution to fix this kind of emptiness and feel truly loved is to have Jesus Christ. Not the Jesus that the world preaches about and religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus which is nothing like the world can give. Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, and just call out for Him and he’ll be there. I hope this helps. You may not consider it but please I’m begging for your own sake just to give it a try.

      Hey I actually just saw a podcast the other day by an entrepreneur named Gary Vee and he touched on the subject of laziness. This helped me personally make a few important decisions in my life, he thinks that being lazy is actually a good thing in the sense of it prevents you from doing stuff you don't want to do. Now yes there are some things that Need to be done. But laziness isn't being lazy it's just not finding something that really gives you that push and drive to go out and do stuff. Say for example me, I'm an artist. I have done all art all my life, but lately I have been lazy about it and feeling unproductive for the past year about it and I came to the realization that I'm simply not interested in it anymore and I rather go skateboard or learn music. So don't think of it as being lazy, but your body giving you an important lesson and insight into what you want and dont want.

Just reach out, be compassionate, just love, love and love again right till the end. God bless you all.

      Or you can not figure things out, and that's fine too. Not everything can be figured out, understood. The universe is a mystery, as is life. No one really has the answers. We can only go along for this strange ride, and enjoy it and each other.

    I'm 21 and I've never felt so lost in my life. Becoming independent and getting to know more about myself and who I really am (my mom sheltered me too much, so I never got to figure myself out and experience different things) has been overwhelming. I mean, so much has improved in my life recently, but I guess it's human nature to always want more. It's frustrating but I just have to keep reminding myself it will all make sense in time. The person I was last year would never have imagined that I would be in the position I am right now. So I'm trying my best to myself that everything is part of the process, even painful moments like these.

    • @JackGE
      @JackGE Před 4 lety +52

      I feel very much like yourself. However, we will never figure everything out. The more we learn, the more we realise how much we don't know. All you can do is what feels right at the time and never regret because you can't change the past. I was also very sheltered, resulting in me becoming very anxious and overwhelmed easily, but I've realised that we need to challenge those feelings to progress and come to our own conclusions. And most of the time, it isn't as scary as we anticipated.
      So relax, you're doing fine and you're so damn young! Take opportunities by the horns and don't forget to look at how far you have come. Good luck 😊

    And in the last year of uni, i figured out that i have no idea AT ALL.
    I lost two years of my time doing things i don't even remember.
    And then i saw a movie, someone gave the lead a flower called Gerbera bcause she felt lost on her life (she quit her job)
    When she asked why Gerbera, he said "Gerbera has a meaning which is...one step. Just take one step at a time, something you can do at the moment whether it's eating, taking shower, sleeping or doing laundry. And just keep taking one step. I wish you good luck"
    So I did... It was really hard, i remembered i started from taking shower and clear my mind. Declutter my room. And then i asked friend to help me finish uni.
    And here's I am now managing my own business.
    For those in their 20s (or others), Just take one step at a time...and don't think too much.

    At 21 I never thought I would be where I am, I've been through so many trials and hard times in life both physical and mental. Some of which are things that the 8 year old version of me wouldn't beleive. The truth is I'm not in the best position in my life, but I've came a long way and overcame countless hardships that a lot of people dont go through. I'm not happy but I find peace in the fact that if I died today no one can say I didn't try.

    The fact that you at the age of 22 reflect over you life and be able to ask questions, express feelings vocally, says so much about how smart and beautiful young man you are. Trust me the majority of people don’t even have the words to express or give language to their feelings or conditions, they just live and die. Good job, your friend from Sweden

    It took me years to realize the world didn't hate me, I was doing this to myself. Your conscious mind leads. Your subconscious mind protects, justifies, and chooses how you remember. Self doubt, fear, anything that stops you in your tracks, are from your subconscious. Feeling lost or confused come from conflict between what your conscious mind wants and subconscious mind can't imagine. It means you're storing things in your subconscious mind, little messages you instantly think about, that are not part of you. What you can/can't do. What's possible/impossible. What you should/shouldn't do. You can't fly. I know you can. People and situations dump junk on you all day long, most of which is negative, or simply not true. If you change how you respond, how you think about this bunk, over time, you will learn what is you and store that away. The rest gets dumped through meditation at the end of the day. That is the heart of self discovery, accession, awakening, moving to a higher self. Young children and babies believe they can do no wrong because nothing negative has been stored. We teach them that stuff. Do this, do that, or else this. You're born with only 2 fears. Falling and suffocation (drowning). The rest you learned whether you wanted to or not. Your spirit has been very patient with you, but it can only take so much. It's time to release all of this goop you've been carrying around through no fault of your own. You've opened your eyes to the real you for the first time. Now, it's time to see what you can do with it. Sure, it's hard. Awkward at first. Like it was learning to ride a bike. You will fall. You will fail. You will get hurt. People who loved you, may hate the new you. Criticize you mercilessly. Half your brain will tell you, you can't do this. Tell that half, too bad. I'm doing this no matter what. Fail, get back up, and repeat as needed until you reach success. And, celebrate your success in your own way, to the max. Tiny little things make you who you are and tiny little successes lead to massive results. No one can do this but you. Are you still reading this stuff? What the hell are you waiting for? Get outta here. Go, do, find, learn, create - YOU!

      I dropped out and learned more in the year afterwards than the year I spent in school. It was the best decision I ever made. Incredibly difficult at the time. Hard to tell my parents and people who saw it as failure or a huge risk. But I believed in my ability to learn on my own, seek help from people smarter than me, and make progress everyday towards what I wanted. It worked out really well and now it seems like it was such an obvious decision. The existential questions have never stopped but materially and in terms of my skills development it was the fastest path. Good luck with the next phase of your life's journey!

    i’ve never felt so inadequate til now, just merely realized that i’m not really “ happy. “ i just numbed the pain almost constricting myself from such feelings- i want to feel joy in the purest form as love, but i’m immensely terrified. sorry this is unimportant but felt like saying it

      It is not unimportant! I think for being able to actually live, we should feel this way at least once. It can be really scary, hard and painful, but it's needed. Only then we'll be able to grow. We got to be courageous and try to find the path that would give us the true satisfaction and contentment.

    I find you so unbelievably relatable. As if you are going along with a collective consciousness that is leading to the same question. I could watch these for hours on end and realise that I am not alone in being, in feeling alone, in feeling lonely. In not having the answers that we all seek. I am coming to believe the beauty is in the not knowing what is next and the curiosity that comes from that. Creatures of habit, creatures of curiosity and for us, creatures of attaining insight. If not only insight to the fact we indeed have none. Thankyou

    "It's ok to not be ok all the time" - The core of Buddhist teaching is to achieve longlasting happiness. They say the main reason why we're not able to be happy all the time is due to our needs and lusts. We are chained to a wheel of these things.

    This story of yours may have been from a few years ago, but it resonates true to this day. The feelings of being confused and lost is something we all go through at all stages of our life. Similar to you, it was around my mid-20s when my mother had made it clear that it was okay and normal to feel this way. These were powerful words for me to hear and hopefully many of the people hearing your story will feel better as well

    That quote "These pains you feel are messengers" hit something in me.. teared up instantly. I've been having depression and feeling lost after moving to a new country last year. Things didn't go as planned at all, it's been intense, and i'm trying to figure out my next steps now. I'm 30 next year and the feeling of approaching that milestone makes me think about my life and where it's going, and it's a paralysing thought.
