Blah...

I am lonely. I graduated from High-school nearly 2 years ago, I'm still unemployed and I'm not going to College (although I plan to). Aside from family and the internet, I have no friends. I haven't been to any real parties and I still haven't had sex. I'm confused as to what I'd like to be and I can't see myself being successful. Despite my negative outlook, I try my best to think positive. I just wish I had the courage to get out into the real world and live a 'normal' life. Although being 'normal' is debatable - I know that my life isn't 'normal' by anybody's standards. While I try not to live in regret, I tend to do so. I feel like I've let my parents down as well as myself. I think of suicide often but don't consider it as I'm too afraid to attempt it. I don't think my current situation is healthy and I don't know how much longer I can take this. I just want to better myself.

Welcome to the site. Feel free to talk, look around... and make some friends here. I've found that making friends on this site helps in making friends offline as well.. anyway, it's good practice and a nice place to meet some great friends.

Hi JustMe-Itseems like you feel just plain stuck-fear can do a lot of things to us. If you feel you will not seceed then you will not seceed. It's called mind over matter. Once you accept that negative thought, it will stay in the subconscious, and rear its ugly head even tho you are trying very hard to get ahead. So keeping the brain in nuetral can work wonders as it's ready to accept the positive as well as the negative but w/ tools you already have you can turn it into a plus. Is any of this making sense?
A famous philosopher Mortmor Addler said:" You got to quit living in the past, be in the present to be able to get into the future". This quote has helped me so much in my life and I hope it may help others.

Someone told me that

Welcome. Don't delay start College today. That sounded like a slogan...the longer you wait to get into College the longer it will take for you to get there, if you get what I'm saying. I have friends who decided to wait to go, get a job, make some money, and didn't end up going until several years later and wished they had sooner. Plus you might end up making some great friends, and um...other things.

You should start college as soon as possible. It's likely that you'll make friends there. College is a great way to meet people and attend social events. Don't worry too much about getting a job yet unless you really need the money, focus on your studies and try to be social. If you aren't sure what to study yet that's ok -- just take a broad range of introductory general education classes for the first year.
