Do you ever wish that somebody would just stop the world and let you off?

Question

I hate it here. I'm lonely, nothing ever goes right, and life just plain sucks. If the world was an elevator, I'd step off at the first floor it stopped at, even if it were the 13th floor. It'd have to be better than this...!

Answer 1

I lead a slow-paced life so I don't have that wish; I kind of got off already a little bit.  A simple life really helps.  I live alone, don't have a mate and sometimes I feel a bit lonely but it's a life off the spin, I don't chase money or material things and keep company with my two cats.  Maybe I'm kind of a hermit, I don't know.  I'm sorry you feel so bad about how things are for you, I hope things get better.  Try to do things that make you feel happy and that you enjoy doing each day.

Answer 2

Let me off? Only because I despise being surrounded by utter morons constantly....Otherwise not really I have a pretty d**n good life...Well...so far XD I'm sorry it isn't the same for you *hugs*

When you are ready to accept that you are alone and find minimal peace in it, the people show up.  

Answer 4

Yeah...I've felt a lot of hatred towards the world throughout my life, but I realized that I can't allow it to make me miserable. I didn't feel like anyone was there for me. I felt that no one cared. But why would they...I was a miserable individual. People weren't going to just approach me when I looked like I wanted to be left alone.  I basically decided to make myself happy. I focused on the things that made me happy in life...like music. I listened to music all the time. I learned to accept that the people in my life sucked. The people I lived with did nothing, but hurt me and even though I'm young I could choose to blow it off. I found little things to work at. I found a dream and I'm still working towards it. I just keep myself busy. I'm not ignoring my problems...I'm just outnumbering the bad with good. Things didn't ever go right, but I just allowed myself to learn from everything. Find the lesson in every incident. It sounds stupid probably, but really there's always a lesson. The lessons can help you go further...if you focus on the bad you won't look for the great opportunities.  I of course went through depressions, but I battled them ...and it was extremely hard to pick myself up. I just keep thinking eventually I'll reach my dream and even if I don't...oh well...I worked towards something..and it made me feel excited for my future.

Find something that makes you happy...even if it's small and make something out of it. I really hope you get to experience more joy in your life. Just keep your head held high and don't let life run you down. Find strength inside you and fight for your happiness...life sure as h**l won't just give it to you.

Answer 7

Let's stop the whining here buddy. come on man! if you are not a pessimist then I've got hair!

Start counting your blessings and grow a stronger backbone and be a man! regardless of what you've been thru, there are people hwo have it much worse.

the reason most people say "life sucks" is because they are not getting what they  want or think they need. We must take where we are in life and turn it into something positive.

Answer 8

Yeah...like the 'Stone's sang: 'Hey YOU, get offa my cloud"...

Trust me..as someone who has been through A LOT (ie: widowed at age 41...stepson died at age 18, home foreclosed on, filed bankrupcy, diagnosed with a hereditary condition at age 40 that has no cure, horrible way to treat it, and treatment for the rest of my life...JUST to name a few)....life IS worth living....what doesn't kill you only serves to make you stronger....

Answer 9

lol... I feel can ya man.

Days like that (every day...lol) I turn my face to the breeze and shut my eyes... and try to meditate. Sure the world spins by... I try to hang on until Saturday. It helps to have a goal... you know?

Answer 10

I must admit, that YES! Once a day! When I am either overwhelmed and or overburdened - but then I accept I am here for the ride until the ride stops for itself!

Answer 11

Yes, but.....

You sound pretty depressed.  Try going for a walk outside and visiting a friend who cheers you up.  Check online for activities in your community that are interesting to you.  If you want something different for your life, then make it happen.  

I know life sucks sometimes, but if you keep telling yourself how bad things are, then that's all you'll experience.  There are a lot of great people out there who you have yet to meet and a lot of great experiences to be had.  Life can be exciting and fun if you look at it that way.    

Remember: this, too, shall pass.
