Question

Why do people become this way? Is there a way to get back on track?

If want to know about me read some of my other questions. I usually a hard worker and goal oriented. Now I don't give a crap about anything. I don't feel bad about how I treat people or my education. It's not like me at all, but what can I do? I use to ahead of the class and very nice. Apathetic. A few human beings interest me. Most people are atificial. I need discipline maybe?

The Apathy Anonymous meeting was canceled due to lack of interest. lol
Hey, at least i have a sense of humor.

Marshall, Tool... You both get what I'm talking about. Awesome.

Answer 1

I remember being the same way early in high school. I didn't really think I was all that and a bag of chips, but I did think a lot of people were artificial, and I pretty much thought I knew more than most. I didn't see a point in trying. For me it was a phase, because I didn't understand at the time how complex and amazing every single person is.

Personally I think it is a sign that your "open mind" may have been so open, that you felt it was finally time to shut it, and you knew enough. When the truth is you don't know nearly enough, not a lot of people do. But please don't be offended, obviously I don't know who you are or what you may really by going through.

I think if I continued on my current track I would write so much your eyes would start to bleed, so let me just say this. Get interested in something, education can get so fricken boring. Look into something creative and fun, and get damn good at it. Or try to. The process will take your mind to other places. Away from this sort of misanthropy view you have of the world currently. Or just stop judging people, and start getting to know people. There is a big difference between sitting and thinking about how a person is, and really talking to them, and interacting on whatever level they are on. Make friends, not future enemies. Either do that, or get a job.



And on another note. That comment down there, by Tool. He is right, but isn't helping you. Yes a lot of people are like that, but that doesn't mean they should be ignored. There is much more to a person. Shutting all of that kinda stuff out is shutting yourself out from your society, which isn't a very bright idea. Once again, that is a very misanthropy view. (People are all being used, and the world is cruel and fake) Do you really want to go through your life with that attitude? Again, Tool is right, but the final statement makes it seem like you should rip yourself from the world of consumerism. Yes, it is a HUGE problem, but learn to make changes in your world...Not avoid them.

Answer 2

I know where your coming from. For me I realized that society is set up for us to be mindless consumers. Once we start to realize this we withdraw from society because we no longer have interest in the illusory goals that we are told to strive for. It is true that most people are artificial but it is not completely their fault. They simply choose to stand in line with everyone else they saw and do what they were unconsciously told. Every once in awhile someone will realize that life is not about working your tail off to one day attain a big house and a fast car. For most of us will be to old to drive it anyway. When you start to question things you will notice how insane the world truly is and will probably rather be dead then go back and live a lie like the rest of humanity.


Thanks Marshall for pointing out that the ending of my answer may sound hopeless. I definitily can see how you may have percieved it as such. What I was trying to say was that "lovebird" should find others like her, not crawl into a hole and rot away. It is best to point people in the right direction instead of telling them what to do. So that they may learn and discover for them selves.

Answer 3

You sound like you're bored with your life. Maybe take some time to figure out what's really important to you and what you enjoy and make sure you are including those things in your life in some way.

As for focusing...make sure you are getting enough rest and relaxation and that you are taking care of yourself. I always find if I don't take care of myself and don't tackle my problems I will be distracted when I'm doing other things. Also, drink kombucha...it always makes me feel focused. :)

Answer 4

I've been through that as well. There is a way to get back on track. It's a difficult process. It takes great determination.

Answer 5

You would like discipline, wouldn't you?? Yeaaa, I bet you would love it!! ..... Ohh my bad, that's a different forum.

Keep the sense of humor. Lose everything else.
