I feel behind in life?
Answer:
It seems that you have unresolved issues from childhood. You may want to seek counseling and get some help to heal from some emotional scars.
Have you had an assessment test to tell you where your strengths and weaknesses are? If not you may want to take one for your career. If you can't afford to pay for one some states offer them at the state job service offices for free when you are looking for a job. They are really helpful and will let you know what you were born to do. I believe once you see your talents you will be able to figure out how best to use them.
Everyone has much to offer in this life. I am sure that you have much to offer. I think you just need to find out what you have to offer.
Have you thought about volunteering at a food pantry, homeless shelter or other non profit organization that helps people in need? I am sure that if you start giving of yourself to others in need it will help you feel that you are accomplishing something because you will be.
You are very young and have the rest of your life to make a difference. I know you will make a difference. You can start now. I can say this because you care enough to ask for advise on this issue. You are reaching out for help and that is a very good thing. It shows that you care. Caring people are in demand in this world. That is a blessing.
I am happy that you have a car at all. Imagine not having one. You may want to make a 5 year plan and make sure to include getting the car you want in your goals. Ask yourself what you want to be doing in 5 years. Then write down what it will take to get to that point. Detail your plan year by year so that you can know what you need to do month by month to accomplish your goal. If you don't succeed at any point re-write your plan and continue until you accomplish your goals.
I think you will do just fine. You are not behind. You are just getting started. Enjoy your life, ok.
Best wishes to you.
If u wouldn't have mentioned u were 20, I would have thought u were 60. Relax dude! Your ONLY 20! And you can't possibly want to accomplish everything by this age!! There are people out there who are 50 and have NO car, NO wife, NO children and even NO job. Work hard, be optimistic and you'll get to accomplish all of your goals!
Why don't you ask your friends for some advice? I'm sure they know you better then anyone on this website. Even if your friends are in a long realationship, thats only one thing they have more then you. Maybe you did better in high school then they did or you played more sports that you were actually good at, then them. Theres tons off oppurtunites out there you just have to go find them!
well i kinda feel like that sometimes too. you say that you havent done much with your life. however, i think you have achieved alot. you are in college- you must have worked hard to achieve this and you must have worked hard to stay there ie-pass colege exams. you have a car-which means (a) you passed your test and (b) you saved enough money to buy it- i dont have a car! you cant always live in euphoria. life has its ups and downs. now, i think you should take control of your life. you do seem as if you just want to float along in life. i think you should do something worthwhile. like join a club-not only do you make loadsa friends, you learn a new skill!! good luck, and dont feel so down!! x
hey we have a club for people like us y dont u join it
Ha! Get back to us when your actually just starting to get old in say 30-40 years. No and I mean no one under 20 has all they seem to have. They just either got it from their parents or or in swimming/drowning in debt. Stay away from the idea of having the perfect material life at least until after college (a decade after if your paying your own way). You obviously have ambition (aren't happy doing whatever your doing). All goals take some striving towards so stop moping, set some and go. Good luck.
you have time to get back, I am going through the same thing you just have to live day by day and try to make sure you are focused on short tirm goals such as moving out. having a gf is not advisable at this stage, just get together with friends and have fun. They are trouble and most of them eventually want kids.
I think first of all, you should appreciate that you have achieved some things e.g going to college and be proud of it!
Then, perhaps you should start setting some goals, what you hope to achieve in life. Maybe travel loads, earn a million bucks etc. Then plan the small steps on how you gonna achieve your goal! N dun forget to give yourself a pat on the back when you accpmplish each small step. N a big celebration for the final goal! =)
You could also try doing some volunteer work! It can be fun and great for meeting new pple! :)
Cheers! Look on the bright side of life! You still have plenty of time to accomplish so much more...
You are only 20 going on 21, young man you have reached to this point of your life through many small accomplishments in life. Be grateful for that. Start counting you blessings from the time you reach the age of reason. Don't allow regrets to paralyze your thinking and future. Discouragement is the worst enemy of our human progress. Proceed to the community college and do your best in your studies. Just be yourself and don't try to imitate or envy other people. If you do so, this is another enemy to your personal progress. Whatever you have now are all gifts for you to advance in life. Use all of them properly and be thankful at all times, especially the new adventure of going to college. Go with the blessings of your parents! In doing so, you'll be blessed many more..in life.
