the thread about nothing...

I work for a grocery store in socal. I stock items on the shelf. I am 22 years old and haven't done much with my life......smh
Yeah I know. The problem is I don't really know what is my passion anymore. honestly that saying light at the end of the tunnel and all those other cliches I am slowly starting to loose faith in them.it sucks but I am starting to think that it is just false hope. idk maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture.


Give yourself some credit at least, all that negative energy is just going to deplete your confidence and put your further in that hole. The next day could be your big break, you never know who you will meet that knows someone or knows about a new opportunity. You have to keep pushing and positive results will yield.

And what profound things should you have accomplished at the young age of 22? Don't compare yourself to others or allow others to compare you to people, that gets you no where.

You are not in jail, hospitalized or tarnished with some terrible criminal record.
 
Guys...I miss my ex. It's been about a week. Should I tell her that I miss her and want to work things out? She broke up with me because she felt that we weren't on the same "level" if you know what I mean...It's tearing me up and I haven't really gotten much advice. Pls give me some input.
 
8o I'm curious about this yall weren't on the same level stuff too.. Aware us on what you mean fam
 
I really dont know what you mean by "not on the same level". Are we talking in the bedroom, or commitment-wise, or looks-wise...... 8o

She's really into being busy and being involved in activities (like school stuff) and I'm more of the kind of guy that likes to be more reserved and chill. That's not to say that I don't support her. I actually encouraged her to do those things. But I feel like it wasn't a good enough reason for her to break up with me.

If SHE broke up with YOU, then you wouldn't have the option or luxury of telling her you want to work things out. She would have to have that notion or see that you are now on her level. Not sure how one week changes things.

Don't send that text.....it will only make you look/feel desperate and pathetic.
 
Doubt her feelings changed in a week if that's why she left you..

How long were yall together?
 
People usually like/mesh with someone who has similar interests.....if she is super involved with school/extroverted/outgoing and passionante about those things, seeing you being reserved, stuck at home, not willing to get out and do things would be a turn off.


Some folks are different and compliment each other well, other folks are different and don't make a good combo. No science to this or rhyme or reason.

Yeah that's true. in all seriousness, thanks js34. Thanks nt. It is nice to just vent this w/o feeling like a ***** had I done this in person. Haha rofl.
 
I guess you guys are right...It just feels so awkward that she's out of my reach now and it sucks cause I know I can't do anything about it like you guys said. Any tips of how I can get out of this funk?


Most NTers on here will just tell you to join a gym and start pumping iron....(which helps and is one of many ways).

This situation is a learning/growing experience for you. Anything we as humans are emotionally invested in and care about, hurts to lose.....Sports, relationships, money, etc. But like losing the Superbowl, you will have to learn how to put it behind you quickly and move on or you will be stuck in a state of personal pity that does not promote growth.

-You've taken a week to feel down and pity yourself.....another week or so is enough
-Remove all forms of contact and reminders of this woman out of your life
-Eliminate all sense of hope that you two will reunite via some Disney fairytale (if it happens cool, but don't twiddle your thumbs awaiting to the chance)
-Find new hobbies....running, gym, music, cards, something, anything
-Use this large amount of free time to ignite your ambitious side
-Embrace who you are as well...if you change what you are about for this woman, that will hurt you in the long run. If you are reserved or chill, nothing wrong with that, don't allow an extroverted person to make you feel less important or that something is wrong with you.
 
I'm just about ready to give up on math forever...and its only intermediate algebra :( .. Never understood it in HS and I damn sure dont understand it now in college

I honestly think i might have a learning disability when it comes to math :{
 
I wish i can browse ebay in work they got Internet Auctions blocked

Well since we are venting....

I met this girl. I actually like her (which hasn't happened since i broke up with my ex of 6 years about 5 months ago).
We exchanged numbers 2 weeks ago.
We were both busy during work weeks (fiscal year end at work was mayhem) and busy on the first weekend.
So i tell her we are hanging out this week. She says great can't wait. I said i will call you sunday and we can see how our weeks are panning out to get together.

Called her sunday....she didn't answer....left a message.....haven't heard back since.

Do i:

A: send a text tomorrow seeing whats up
B: balls in her court just wait until forever hoping she eventually responses at some point.

I hate this don't look desperate and chase too much and you got to fight for what you want mentality paradox im always in. Like i want to just say eff it on to the next. But i know she is a good girl and I def want to get to know her better. But do i look desperate by texting wednesday and asking to do happy hour thursday or get together over the long weekend for dinner or something.

If a girl cant stay true to her word just dead it bol, she took the time out to text ya and say great cant wait, Now she ignores ya when the time comes ? i hate females like that ! Theres plenty of fish in the sea that are honestly better
 
These females you guys are making weekend plans with should be good options, but don't make that the end all be all if they back out or don't respond. Don't put all your eggs on one basket, especially during the dating phases.


I don't believe in all those days to wait and not contacting a person first garbage.....Confidence trumps all of that. You dictate how people deal with you and pay attention to early signs of potential red flags. If someone is flakey and you are a punctual person who keeps their word.....take heed.
