Life is uninteresting and meaningless
-
I believe its happening again. I'm simply unfocused on everything, and i feel that life is boring..
Perhaps its because of the few relationships that has broken down in front of my eyes, perhaps its because of the little things in life that we often overlook, the poor, the sick, the dying.
Whatever the case, i can't remember the last time i was ever happy.
Anyone can help? -
Wa you same age as me...
Anyway u are not alone... I got lots of frens but still feel lonely
The schoolwork, housework, driving lessons, tuition and other factors are taking a toll on me...
As the eldest son I will be the sole breadwinner in 3 yrs time... V pressure...
Life is tough but has to go on... -
Think about how you can make your life more interesting and meaningful then. tsk tsk cant remember the last time you ever happy. sounds serious. You sounds really negative man, dont be so affected about sad things around you loh. We can help abit by donating some coin on flag day, but if you gotta be sad everyday because of all the sad things around is really very tired man. That how life works.
If you gotta wake up everyday and think so sad man hai.. people around you wont dare to talk to you, because of all the gloominess on your face man. Try to liven up and be more positive about life! Wake up everyday and tell yourself you choose to be happy today and walk around with a smile. Make yourself happy, people around you will be happy too. -
are you having depression?
did you had depression before?
i read up before that when you are depressed, things like the poor, sick or dying that doesnt affect us greatly normally, will affect you very greatly.. -
Perhaps...Try recalling your childhood....it will offer you comfort for a while before you sink back into reality...Originally posted by _Aaron_:I believe its happening again. I'm simply unfocused on everything, and i feel that life is boring..

cheer up, fren
, try these solutions, might help abit:
1) Try going for a holiday to anywhere out of SG, and relax n rejuvenate urself..juz like a retreat.
2) Do some social work, helping less fortunate pple will lift up ur spirits for sure!
Juz my 2 cents worth..im trying to make life seem meaningful each day too..tough but its juz one & only life we have here..got to make it thru in peace n joy in any case

I'm in NS now.. Going to be posted to become a combat medic on monday.
I'm not depressed.. i'm just well.. feel emotionally dry.
I don't feel happy very much, but i don't feel sad much either.
I thought it was good back then, so maybe this state of emotionless stayed with me til now..
Now to think of it, maybe it isn't such a good idea after all. its like i'm on anti-depressants all the time.. haha.
Childhood.. all i remember was playing competitive chess... i miss those days though.. but that was in the past..
In a sense i don't really have anything to look forward to in life. I'm living life for myself.. and the days just pass by one by one.. -

I heard from friends that some guys will feel more down when in NS due to lack of freedom in it bah. you mean you are on anti depreesants??
you have to find something to look forward to, set a goal for yourself then you will see yourself working toward it. In ns still so young, dun think so much loh, must stay cheerful all the time. Dun worry lah I am sure after your NS, your thinking will change also bah. -
Before NS it was worse. Life was totally boring. I was broke too. Ns gave me some meaning at least.
No i'm not on anti-depressants, but sometimes i feel that i am.. -
No one can make you feel happy if you do not want to
No one make your life interesting if you dont work on it
No one will make your life meaningful if you dont do anything
Only you, yes you yourself can make your life meaningful -
Can consider signing on.. occupy your time wif more activities.. plan cycling trips, for instance..

Sounds like you are going through a rough time.Life has its ups and downs.No one is constantly happy.Try talking to someone who will listen to your woes and find ways to work around them.No problems is too big that you can't solve them.Just takes a bit more time and effort on your part.The best person to help you is yourself.Take care and don't give up.

look at the bright side man, you need to experience true sorrow to know happiness.. and not many people have really felt true happiness. happiness is all around you, you just have to look for it, and seize the opportunity to possess itOriginally posted by _Aaron_:I believe its happening again.

_Aaron_ just seating there and doing nothing will not help at all. You have seen others fail in their relationship and thus became too scared to take a step forward. There is no such thing as an easy relationship each and everyone of us had to go through the cycle of a few bad relationship to understand and to treasure the person that we loved. What comes easily goes easily.
You are protecting your own self. If you do not try to get in touch with the outside world no one can help you. So get your butt off your seat, make some new friends and go for a beer or 2. Do something which is different from your life you have. -
try to find a goal for yourself in life n try to get it. atm, i tink u r a bit depressed
, maybe cos of ur ns. i am also in ns, with about 6 mths+ b4 clearing leave. then ord loh. when i just enter ns. i too was vy stress, but all these is jus a part of life. actually, there r a lot of nice things in life. jus look around u closely n try to appreciate it. try doing some gd tings, eg. helping poor to make urself feel life a bit more worhtwhile.

Try to spend back some time for your hobbies? If not at least allocate some time for them...? Do some things which you really enjoy doing in some of your free time yeah...?Originally posted by _Aaron_:Before NS it was worse. Life was totally boring. I was broke too.

No i'm not on anti-depressants, but sometimes i feel that i am..

By the way... Life can only be uninteresting and meaningless if you think it is...?

there is nothing wrong with feeling neither happy nor unhappy most of the time. i mean, unless you like to be consistently on an emotional roller coaster... you got to get used to it. and get a "high" in your life occasionally... it doesnt have to be big. personally, finishing a good book, having dinner with my most treasured friends, teasing around with my brothers give me the boast that i need for the rest of the week ahead...

U want intersting n meaningful ? u go to Isreal or Iraq. Every moment of your life is meaningful and interesting. Dunno when ur ass gonna be blasted back to kingdom high. Or u can go hook up some hibbie jibbies.. some skunky ass.. some sweet sWEED =P U cant ? well.. too bad...
u just gotta be looking for hobbies.. no way life is meaningless.. coz u think its meaningless. if its that meaningless.. i wouldve jumped from the buildings long time ago liaw. So snap out of it.. its just a phase man. -

u r not alone..every1 feels e way u feel at times life is mono or dull..but finds purpose to surviving and does meaningful stuff to leave some kind of positive legacy behind for all to remember...life is fragile. Born, age, old, sickness, death..a cycle it is, but make it a meaningful cycle and live life to e fullest without any regrets.
Simply follow ur heart. Maybe u r experiencing ur turning point in life or something / event / ritual in ur life is experience a change.
Change always meet with resistance. Juz know that u r changing for e better and hang onto it and see how e good things start to evolve ard u
Trust me..its jus e blues..find something interesting to occupy urself wenever u meet ese blues.
Cheeros!
