so i really cant complain
ANYWAY! i know how you are feeling, used to be i was the same way (mentally unstable and usually had way too much time to think about things to make myself feel worse when something bad happened). so i feel for you my friend. but, as my above comments likely indicate (or at least i hope to hell they do), one of the better ways to solve this situation, is to not think about it. find things to distract yourself from it, and cheer yourself up.
if this is the extent of your problems, or at least the big ones, then overall your life probably isn't that bad. not discounting your confusing situation in terms of sexuality of course, its just that there are so many GOOD things to counter-balance the bad, your life probably isn't that bad at all.
in short, when you are feeling down, just remember all of the little things you have, all of the little things which make you happy or which cheer you up or luxuries you have, and be grateful, because they may be incredibly commonplace amongst the population of your country, but they are still nice things nonetheless.
so lets get your mind off of this shall we?
this should help (in addition to the above video)

I'm actually completely happy aside from the urge to get a girlfriend. That's all it is, an urge, a dumb primordial insinct, a girlfriend is the last thing I conciously want. Relationships make people emotionally dependant on one and other, when one leaves however, and they will, the other is left to go through a sort of withdrawal, a terrible one at that. I've made so much progress as a person, I'm so much more confident and happy now, if I were to get into a relationship, after what, a month, she'll leave, and I'll be a wreck once more. No way.
That's forgetting the fact that I actually can't get a girlfriend, I'm too damn ugly. I guess in a way, that's to my advantage. I can't be tempted by something that's eternally out of my reach, right?

The social phobia I developed after an assault and spending almost a full year indoors really messed up my entire life. Every time I try to do something about it I end up even more isolated than before.
Been six years now...
Wouldn't say I hate my life, but I'm pretty disappointed in how it's turned out. I'm weak as fuck when I used to be a cocky and charismatic guy. Don't really see any future for me, but I'm still trying to turn it around. Very slowly so.

Let's see...
I live in a stable, developed country, free of widespread war, famine, drought and poverty where I have access to free healthcare and education. I have a roof over my head and three square meals a day. I have a tight knit group of friends who I know have my back when shit hits the fan and an even more tight knit family who love and care for me. I'm in generally good health. I'm not poverty-stricken, I'm not starving, I'm not fighting off any wild animals or armed militias on a daily basis and I can generally trust that I'll wake up as alive as I was the night before.
Yeah life sucks...
Seriously though, If can tick even a third of those boxes, you really shouldn't be complaining. Sure the world ain't a rose garden for anyone, but you know what...
IT COULD BE WORSE!
OT: I guess it seems that I've lost the plot by saying that I'm generally pleased with life. Alright...um... I guess I'm a little pissed off at how unspecialised I am at everything, especially at this point in life as I really have to start thinking about the rest of my adult life and there are so many things I want to do with it that I've had to abandon some dreams that I've had. Also not pleased with the amount of pressure A-Levels are putting on me, but I can generally handle it. Hell, I managed to pass all of my GCSE's after moving to England from Canada part way through Year 10.

The milk I have in my cereal isn't cold. THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME NOOOOOO
Nah, I'm quite content with my life.

Oh, where do I bloody start.
I'm a fucking loser. I used to think I was talented, witty, and philosophical, but more and more I discover that I'm not any of those things. My writing sucks, my music sucks, and my ideas suck. I've got shitty grades in college and I haven't been on a date for years. I have no money, no prospects, and my hairs already starting to thin. I live my life silently loathing my parents who I'm incidentally forced to rely upon, but more hating myself for being such a pathetic sap. I'm just a piece of shit swirling down life's toilet.

I hate my life because I always felt that I was at the whims of outside forces and I was barely every in control.
My mom lost our house after my grandmother died because she got extremely depressed, she also started heavily drinking and she kept me out of school. After all that shit I had to live with my brother and it sucked because once my mom was getting good money and her head on straight he stole a majority of it and spent it on his own shit.
So I never had the school supplies I needed for projects. Then he always took me for a lair and believed people in the neighborhood over me always. Then the fucker never kept a decent amount of food in the house I swear I lived on hotpockets for a good 4 years of my life. Then up to a few years ago I dropped out of school because there was too much gang activity at my school and on the bus.
Through those years I always wanted help it was either me getting art supplies so I can start being a freelance artist or go back to school yet. It was either no or my mom didn't have the cash. I tried to get normal jobs yet I fucked up my back a long time ago and now I have serious foot pain that keeps me from standing for a long time. Plus my lack of a diploma pretty much keeps me out of work place as well.
Overall I learned to null bullshit and negative attitudes I believe shit will get better, I hate my current turns in life yet I wouldn't really change it because I met some good people that I can talk to that'll listen for once unlike my family does.

Almost the same story, been in love with this girl for almost a year, finally told her, waited two agonizing weeks for her answer, which I got just this morning: no.
I don't hate my life though, I like going through while blindly refusing to except anything but positive scenarios. So I'm about halfway through moving on, I'd say. Never really done this before, so I wouldn't know, but still.

social anxiety disorder. i've had it since i was about 15. mostly it doesn't affect me that much (well, i dont go to parties or talk to strangers), but it keeps me from holding any job for very long. i started working when i was 18, i'm now 28 and in those 10 years i've had 41 different jobs. you read that right forty-one jobs. i've quit all but two of them, the one i have now thats a 3-4 hours a week running MTG tournaments at a comic shop, and seasonal part-time at game stop a few years ago. for those who dont know, money is reeeeally important, and it's hard to have a life when you can't work. i've tried medication, and all the ones my doctor was willing to put me on did nothing or made it worse. i tried disability an was denied because they said i was "capable of acting in my own self-interest" (quitting 40 jobs sure sounds responsible to me). so my wife works long hours at a job she hates so we can a life, even though that life is in my mother-in-laws house which is perpetually dirty (shes a hoarder, who we can't even begin to treat), has no heat and no a/c, and 3 cats that are constantly sick and terribly behaved.
i was also not raised very well so i never finished high school, and have lost over 50% of my teeth (and no, not because i'm a druggie, which every damn doctor and dentist always assumes. fuck, i dont even drink!).
so yeah... theres my guts. enjoy

I don't hate my life. I am worried about my future, as I am on the cusp of graduating University and I am trying not to panic as the world rushes to meet me. I am coming to terms with the fact that I am an adult (I am 21) and that it is expected of me to be responsible. And on top of it all I am having to consider my gf in all my future plans as whether or not we get married will affect my job choice. Despite all this I am happy with my life and the people I share it with, just a mite stressed out.
I don't hate my life, but I am going through depression. I had a breakup that I wasn't told about for two weeks until I asked their mom wth was going on, and even she didn't have an answer for me.
So I started talking to my therapist again, and have to go back on medication for social anxiety disorder and depression - which I originally stopped taking because what I thought was a loving relationship had been my support.

I'd say one advantage I have is that I have no urge for sexual activity or even a relationship with someone. I tend to think logically, and romance is at the bottom of my list of life priorities. Hell, I don't even really need friends or family for emotional support. It's not like I hate people, but I tend to enjoy keeping things quiet and simple. I don't even have a Facebook because there are so few people I want to keep in contact with. I'm focusing now on finishing my degree in criminal justice so I can join the local police force, where they make good money for the relatively low crime rates.
I don't hate my life; it's pretty okay. But while I'm in the complaining mood, I have absolutely no sense of place or purpose, and I can't remember a time when I did. I know I haven't been living long, but I'd always expected to have found something by now.
If you seriously mean the part I left unsnipped, then you are amazing. I've never known someone so down in the shitter and still love life. You are an inspiration and I sincerely hope things pick up for you soon.Thyunda said:

Well if I have to give a reason I suppose the worst I can say right now is I hate my life currently because I'm out of food and Sprite right now and as a result am going to have to make a Walmart run tonight. Other than that things are pretty damn good. Just moved into a nice apartment which I will be working out of for all but 3 hours out of 40 most weeks. Right now I'm gearing up for a 4 day weekend full of Old Republic and television. If all goes well I won't have to put on pants until Tuesday except for Christmas with my family on Sunday and going to the store tonight.
