How do people not get sick of life?

Question

Im so sick of this life. For over 10 months the only people I have been around are my family. Im a little under 18 so i don't have a steady job yet, my life has been insanely routine. everyday is the same. im getting so sick of life, attitudes, personalities, faces, & everything about myself.. i sound soo pathetic :(

please help me get out of this lame rut?

Answer 1

Get involved get out of the house more, i was in the same rut, and it cost me my diploma, so now i have a GED and im having a hard time getting into the NAVY, trust me, get out of the house more, and try to meet new people, and if you're on the computer alot, get OFF, the computer i became addicted to in the beginning then steadily started skipping a day of school here and there then the next thing i knew i was in a huge depressed state, and it was just horrible and i quit going to school, and i ended up in a juvenile facility, depression is a serious illness, and i know it feels like you cant help it, but you really can, you've just  got to motivate yourself and get out of the house and be open minded... and if you feel worried about what other people think about you, like i was, just forget it, there's always gonna be someone who thinks negatively about you, to try and make there selves feel better, they're just as upset as you are.... good luck i hope i helped, just dont let it get the best of you.

Well when you turn 18 then you can go to college right? So then it will probably change a lot.  Meanwhile read a good book there are always more books to be read, or get an exercise routine that you enjoy you will look and feel better.

Answer 3

Honey, u have life. Don't waste it. I set goals about little things in the house, and go about trying to  achieve them, or about some hobbies that I have. Prepare urself for the future.

     For e.g. I say to myself '' u don't know what kind of jobs u will come across in the future, so better practise doing some work at home. See how fast u can wash the dishes." So I set a stopwatch, and begin doing the dishes as fast and thoroughly as possible. Do it everyday, and increase ur speed as much as possible. That's gonna please ur mom too.

If u have a hobby, set a goal about it, and do ur best to achieve it. If u come across some person daily, make it ur business to find about him or her as much as possible. Show ur interest. When u meet some person u're gonna spend some time with, ask him/her things whic he/she finds interesting. Like about their hobbies. That's gonna please them, and give u more understanding about new things.

That's what makes life interesting, honey. There's nothing special about it, but this is all that can make life interesting.Even if u have a lot of money or a job, life won't get to be really interesting or anything.Only u can change the usual routine stuff.  And it's gonna be boring all ur life unless u begin taking an interest in little things, and in other people. Everybody has problems & sorrows. Find them out. sympathize. Write down a bunch of little goals u could achieve (about ur housework, hobbies, helping ur siblings do somethings, doing some little pleasing thing for somebody like ur mom or dad to make them proud of u) and set about it. Make some little drawing or decoration  to hang in ur mom's room, or make it ur business to do one little chore for each of ur family member. That's gonna please them and u're gonna feel good for doin' it.

And that's all that can make life interesting. U get so busy and interested in things that time flies away as if it has sprouted wings. It might be boring , tryin to do such little things

in the begining, but just pretend to be interested in it, honey. When u keep pretending and acting like this, that little bit of acting gets to be real, and u get actually interested in it. I know, because I have experienced it. Pretend to be happy and enthusiastic, and u begin feeling it. It's ur feelings that go hand in hand with ur actions. U feel what u try to feel.

Explore.

That is the most advice I can give you in the smallest of forms.

Life isn't exciting and awesome like you see in the movies or in Anime and cartoons. It is actually quite boring and monotone. Most people never look outside of their life which includes the same schedule over and over again.

So, once again. My advice to you is to explore.

How? Simple ways. If you've got a car, wait until it's a clear night (No Clouds, and Winter is best when it's cold in the atmosphere.) Drive out to the country with a friend or just by yourself. Go out far enough that you escape the light pollution of the city, and then pull to the side of the road and look up.

Party some, go to college, meet new friends, travel.There are plenty of options! But it all depends on what you do and how you do it.

I think a big problem (and not just for you. For a lot of people aroud 18 or so.) is the monotone life. You're old enough to be on your own! You have freedom! But you don't know what to do with it.

Another piece of advice? Anything you want. (just be responsible.)

Answer 5

Discover and engage in an interesting and meaningful hobby. Become skilled in something and continue to pour all your effort into that skill so you can become better and better until the day when you have reached near-perfection (this skill or potential skill can usually be discovered by the aforementioned -- a hobby). Common hobbies include musical instruments, drawing, exercise, etc. Be creative.

Answer 6

First of all if you are addicted to TV, video games or Computers get rid of it and instead try to interact with your friends by giving them visits. See what your school friends are doing with their lives, talk to them and draw inspiration from what they are doing . Try to find some job for your self or involve your self with some voluntary community work.  i hope this will help you to a great extent. Yes, if you have some inclination towards painting , piano or vocals just go for it with full steam.

Answer 7

You are looking for the solutions to life outside yourself. But the truth is the solution to all of your problems are within you. Become aware of your self, your thoughts, emotions, feelings etc., You feel sick of routine. Being aware of your sickness to routine is one level of awareness. The next level of awareness is to accept this situation. By accepting this situation you feel more agitated, but love yourself for feeling that way. When you love the feeling of being frustrated, angry and helpless this feeling will start to evaporate. If you fight this feeling of hopelessness then you feel more angry with yourself and the world around you. Learn to accept the feeling of pain that is within you. The feeling of pain is good. This feeling when accepted helps to heal the mind and the body and you feel well again. This process is something you need to do all of your life. You also need to have some goal in your life. If everything fails try religion. Accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life and He will make you whole.

Answer 8

Well I can say from experience it does get better once you're out of the house.  I can also say from experience that it doesn't go away totally once you're out of the house.  Sometimes I do get sick of things.  I am fortunate enough to spend some time in a hospital one day per week.  That really reminds me that even when my life seems like a pain in the backside....it's not all that bad.  At least I can wipe my own behind, eat what I want to eat, sleep when I want to sleep and have a future to meet a great guy, have some kids, have a career, do whatever it is I feel like doing.  I guess my suggestion is to focus on the good things and realize this too shall pass.
