Why can't I win? Please convince me my existence isn't pointless.?

Question

I literally can't win. I can't drink and feel good the next day. I'm 23 and just got my masters degree, but don't have enough confidence to get a job (like I'd even get one after researching my background)..I've never had a girlfriend, miss out on everything social. Literally what's the point of me living this sh*t out? I'm a loser. No matter how hard I try nothing is ever going to get any better..I REALLY F'N HATE THAT NOTHING CAN EVER LINE UP FOR ME -__-

Answer 1

Chill out dude, take a look at what you have. Then look at what other people in other parts of the world have and what they put up with, you are blessed. If that doesn't work then stfu and play some angry birds on facebook.

Answer 2

LOL, how many people drink and feel good the next day. Heck some people have hangovers for quite a long time and even forget what day it is



You know your issues, then come up with a solution then. Don't have enough confidence to get a job? Go make your own. Be confident. Never had a girlfriend? If you really want one, then you would be persistent, realizing that getting one takes a lot of time and patience most of the time. Miss out on everything social? Make it a habit to get involved in social activities. You know what you can do, you just choose to not do it



I don't give a **** about you being a loser. What the **** is even the point in calling yourself a loser and saying you graduated with a masters degree in the same paragraph lol. What you should do is improve your logic and stop bitching and get to work. Yahoo aint the place to be



Furthermore, if you're life is pointless, make your own damn point

Answer 3

I am not trying to bring you down like everyone else. Depression is an annoying thing that really drags people down, but to be perfectly honest. Everyone's life is pointless. We don't need a purpose or meaning in life. Does a dog think of his purpose in life? Dogs seem to have so much fun living without having these questions answered. Nobody knows what happens after life. We can go to heaven, reincarnate, or live in eternal darkness. So why end it? Why live miserable? I have dealt with so much depression in life, asking so many questions that can't be answered. The "cure" I found is to just change your life completely. Do things you wouldn't even think of doing. Read "Into the Wild" and "Eat and Run" They are very inspirational books. Just try doing some of the things these people do. Try running, try traveling. Traveling is one of the best things you can do. It is an escape from this idiotic monotony society has to offer. You have a degree. You don't need confidence, just apply to the peace corp. or VFP. Try to help underprivileged people to help you see how lucky you are to have the life you have. Try backpacking New Zealand and stay in hostels and travel around. It is great to be in new places. Life never works out. It seems that everything just likes to spiral out of control all at the same time. When that happens I just laugh and say my life is as hard as the people's lives in Africa. I just try to remember how lucky I am to be born in the united states. I know confidence is a hard thing to master. Getting girlfriends and good friends is hard, but you'll eventually find someone. But if not, screw people, they suck a lot at times. Seriously change up your life in a new way. You can to someone as simple as smiling in the mirror until you laugh, or just laugh every time something bad happens. We don't need a point in life. We just need to try our best to enjoy and live it as large as possible. Good luck.

Answer 4

Oh boo hoo. nothing is served to you on a silver platter. first off nobody feels good AFTER they drink. If you have legel issues its your own damn fault. getting a girlfriend is not as hard as it sounds if you had some confidence or even a remote amount of social aptitude. Iv seen pregnant single 14 year old girls that work at burger king turn there life's around and they had a baby to feed. go to a chat room and meet someone who has the same problems you do. but in case you do decide to kick the bucket make sure you clean up after yourself so the living don't have to Watch nacho lib-re

Answer 5

I am in the exact same place, but I am still trying to get the master after I failed once.



Well its nice to have confidence in getting a job. But I guess you dont need confidence, you just need to apply. Some of your applications will be rejected, some will be denied. There is nothing loser about it .

Answer 6
