Should I leave this site?

Kitsune 狐 · November 22, 2015, 05:55:21 PM

Why are you contemplating on leaving? Also what your dad said to you was low and you should kick him in the knads.

No, he's right. I've only been working three days a week for a long time. I just don't know what to do with my life. I applied to a teaching masters program because I don't know what else to do. And I need a plan B. I graduated June 2014 and am still working in retail, so my dad is right that I'm a failure. And I'm very boring, all I have to talk about are video games, TV, shows, and movies. No wonder the last girl didn't see it going anywhere. She traveled to all these places and lived all around the world and probably thought I was a loser because I haven't, and because of the job I work.

Today I was so depressed all I did was drink until I passed out and achieved nothing.

Have you talked to your managers about getting more shifts?

Also, if you work hard enough, you can make a descent living working in retail. Quite a few of the mangers at my job back home didn't need schooling to do what they're doing.

You need to put down the bottle because that is only going to make things worse. Roman you need to get out there and live your life. I know how it is to be depressed I fight with it daily, but you have to find your own way to make yourself happy. Fuck everyone else, and what they have to say. If you're not happy with your life then make a change. Go out and travel, get another job, make something of yourself that you'll be proud of. Fuck everyone else. If you're happy just playing video games and talking about movies and shit like that then why should it matter what anyone else says? It's scary, but you have to be strong and make a change for yourself. The others that actually care will find you along your way.

I am getting more hours this week because of the holidays coming up, Mon-Saturday eight hours a day. I hate the job but I need to do it. Staying in the house drives me crazy. I'm also on the substitute teaching list for a school system, but have only gotten three calls in three months.

I'm not happy with what I have, they're things that aren't real, just stories. They make me forget about my own life, and also the irony is that I spend so much time with them they become it. My only two friends I have have girlfriends they've been with for years that they travel with and live life while I have nobody. My brother too. And I can't believe I thought I actually met someone who was going to see where it went with me, but I was just her toy for one single night and discarded just like that. Lost it to someone who will never speak to me again, even as a friend.

What about the job do you hate, and have you tried looking for better retail jobs?

I can understand the staying in the house part. Although I don't like going out that often, I need something to keep my mind occupied, which I assume is a similar problem. What do you have for hobbies?

In my opinion, you should take Kitsunes advice. Find something that you like and peruse it. If someone is only going to put you down and not try to support you in anyway, why should you care about their opinions?

Super Irish · November 22, 2015, 07:56:31 PM

I wouldn't want you to leave but if being here is causing such anguish then I can't stop you.

Also, leaving this place wouldn't make things get better in life, if that's your line of thought that brought this up. Not very far in life myself to suggest what to do with your life though, nor should anyone TELL you what to do. It's all up to you.

Jive Turkey · November 22, 2015, 07:59:47 PM

At least here you can get advice fella

Word of advice slick.

Getting a job doesn't mean much. I work 7 days a week 24/7 and I'm in the same boat as you. Jobs aren't your main answer. They're only good if you want to make some money.

Interest is your key. Passion for something.

The Hån · November 22, 2015, 11:29:47 PM

you make entertaining threads that spiral waaay out of control. If you leave who's gonna take that place?

This. Alcohol is a depressant. It might help you deal briefly, but in the long run, it will just keep you unmotivated and self-loathing. Quit now before it becomes a serious problem.

big sponge · November 23, 2015, 01:51:08 AM

Bro you tried working catering? Try being a bartender for one. You're always working parties so your customers are always happy and you get to make them happier by serving drinks. Also tips.

You'll probably make more in one weekend of being a bartender for a catering service than you will working an entire week of retail.

If you have a degree in teaching you should try applying to some sort of substitute teachers agency and get your foot in the door. Put that degree to use.

RomanGladiator · November 23, 2015, 05:20:43 AM

Im still trying to figure out what went wrong with her, if it's something I said or what. I just don't get why she'd want to sleep with me once and that's it. I can't even contact her now. And what makes it worse was that it was unprotected sex.

Elegiac · November 23, 2015, 05:43:22 AM

Don't give em the satisfaction. I remember when I saw challengers list of people to harass and drive away from the site. That's when I knew I wouldn't be leaving.

Pop in the odd time but it should not your priority

Idk why people do this with forums.

Do you not have the will power to prioritize your free time better? Take a break if you want. That doesn't have to mean you've 'left'

Shit I did it for 3 months.
