Am I just stupid to keep caring? You know my computer at home is down so if I don't get to get back to this quickly enough just want to say I am sorry for it ahead of time.
I know, what does it matter to any one out there anyway, none of you know me in the first place, LOL LOL LOL
I hope that you all have a great life though. That's all, and take a chance to answer this for 2 points if you want to.

Yep I feel kinda lost right now! I have just got my degree, BA in History, and am looking for a good job. I can not seem to find one. I feel that all the businesses and so on out there have not a clue about what all you learn when you get a degree in history. The research skills, the analytical thinking, compiling of various information in order to form an educated opinion, and so on. They seem to just think we all learn a bunch of dates, dead peoples names, and old battles that happened over 100 years ago. They have no clue about all the skills people with a degree in history have! So yeah I feel lost or adrift in life right now. I just keep trying to move forward. I mean that's all one can do, you can not allow despair and hopelessness to win! You just have to keep plugging along and hope and pray for the best. Things will work out sooner or latter, but it's hard to get there some times. Beyond that, I am 28, with no girlfriend, no children, and I take care of my grandparents. So depression is also playing a big role and trying to be myself and still having to act somewhat not like myself cause of my grandparents. So yep I do feel lost a lot, but you have to keep pushing forward, never stopping, if you do you will be taken under. Like I said things will all one day work out. You just have to keep your head up, and keep moving!! =)

Everyone -- and I mean EVERYONE -- feels lost at sometime in their life. Sometimes the trigger is the death of a loved one, the loss of a love, loss of a job, or anything that seems to upset your emotional life. Caring is never stupid.
You really do sound depressed and maybe even like you need someone to talk to (a professional). I think you'll find that there are lots of people who are sincere on yahoo answers and who really would like to help if they could. I know I would help if I could.
You're right about people not knowing you but that doesn't matter. You don't have to know someone to care about what is happening to them or even to feel their pain. You don't have to know someone to want to help them to feel better or to help them solve their problem. I hope you aren't thinking about the s- word (unless it's just a 4-letter word that's done in the bathroom). I'll tell you what. Why don't you elaborate on what you "care" about and give us a crack at giving you some cheering up?
I had a boss once who always told me that "I don't get ulcers, I give them" and he was generally pretty happy. He was a very nice man who cared about people even when they shat on him and said nasty things about him. He rose above all of that and that made him a great human being -- one who will be remembered long after I'm dead and gone.
When I get down, I think about all the good things that came out of all the bad things that happened in my life. I realized that had those bad things not happened, the good things might not have happened either. Remember that after every rain, there is clean air and a new beginning. Every day is a new day and if you concentrate on the things you can control and let go of those you cannot control, you'll find that the bad days don't last as long and they are more tolerable. Push away all the bad things and concentrate on bringing the good and happy things toward you. It's amazing how uplifting that can be.
Good luck. And you are not lost -- ever -- you are just temporarily misplaced. We do care.
Oh, and soorch2, I accidentally hit the wrong button. I didn't mean to give you a thumbs down. Please forgive me! I had actually intended to give you a thumbs up. It's too bad there isn't a way to correct our mistakes on here.

Everyone does from time to time....you may need an anti depressant for a while...St Johns Wort is a herbal anti depressant you can buy at drugstores relatively cheap under five bucks try one of these at night for a few weeks..It helps to get through the dumpy life stages we as humans experience. Good Luck and Chin Up

I feel lost often, but it doesn't bother me that much, I just keep treking on until I figure out where I'm going again.
