I guess I've gone into a state of withdrawal. I don't talk to any of my friends because I'm just ashamed. All my life I always talked about how I wanted to move to California. But it's been slowed down considerably since I started dating someone whom I love. I can't look people in the eye from friends or family. I always feel anxiety when I go to a function. I just don't want to talk to anybody anymore. I quit my job because I thought it was the bottom of the barrel.
For me, there's a state of alienation where I'm just sick of relating to people now. I now search for a job I want but find myself depressed but at the same time enlightened about a potential career prospect. But I just don't see it coming anymore.
I'm new to this board. I'm 24 years old and I hope it gets better. i don't know where my life is going to take me but I'm ready to start over. I'm sick of all this "advice" from people. I feel like just telling everyone to go f*ck themselves and let me figure it out on my own.
OKAY, HERE'S THE REPLY FROM MY POST
Excuse the post. It was rather insincere and rude. Being more specific, I hate hearing advice from my parents, peers, friends, and family. Namely those older than me. I have a tough journey ahead in life and it's going to be rather difficult to get through. But what I don't like, is when people dictate how I should be doing certain things. Advice is good, but it reaches a point where you just want to block out everything in your head.
I'm a writer, and I've been writing a script about being in your twenties, and how tough it really is. I've noticed criminally, that there aren't any movies that really respond to our audience. We're often perceived as stoners or career people, ones with great jobs, or those with an IQ less than their shoe size. Harold and Kumar is a movie about living life after college. But I don't think it really captures the alienation, the withdrawal of our generation. It's just a comedy.
So to get back to what I was saying, yes I was a little enraged and without a doubt, depressed when I wrote that. But after hearing so much from people about what I should and shouldn't be doing, can certainly become grating on the nerves.
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who feels this way when it comes to hearing advice from others?
