I care about very little and I can't seem to develop a drive for anything? How could I?

Question

Well first off, I am 15.

I rarely care about anything.. at all. I don't care about my school work, going to school.. I lie constantly about little things.
I just started noticing it, as well.

I also can't develop a drive for ANYTHING. I can't stick to my goals and I can't keep up with anything I do. At first, I start out great in school.. and then I start slacking off a LOT.

Someone said I was a sociopath, but I really don't know.
I just don't care about ANYTHING, anything at all..

I know it's going to effect me in the long run..
Is there something wrong with me?

How can I develop responsibility.. and the ability to care and keep up with my goals?

I want to do it but I'm just too lazy and it seems like I can't.

=(

Answer 1

First, whomever called you a sociopath is pretty ignorant. Sounds to me like you are terribly depressed, and that it is affecting your everyday life. Can you see a counselor at school and see about seeing a therapist who specializes in counseling teenagers? I think you really be helped through this. You should also be checked by a doctor and have a complete physical to rule out anything physical--could be hormonal problems, anemia, any number of things. I would be you are NOT lazy and that there is a reason for this behavior. Take care, and don't listen to the negative things that people say!

Answer 2

You need to get your parents to get you in for a good physical examination since this could be the cause of you feeling that way, anemia for example, and that might be taken care of by a change in your diet.
Next, you may want to talk to someone about this since it could be a lack of esteem for yourself as well. I will give you a web site to look over for that.
the fact that you have goals and want to develop responsibility makes me think it is something physical such as the anemia or perhaps hypoglycemia and a good medical checkup will tell you what to do to get past that. I hope you figure it out because you sound like you have a lot going for you otherwise from what you say.

Answer 3

It could be your age. Most people your age are going through a self-centered stage. If you are worried enough about this being a problem, please talk to your parents, a counselor, etc. It may be as simple as your learning to write out specific goals and steps to meet them OR you may have depression, which needs to be addressed. So, you may be normal for you or you may have something going on. I would seriously suggest getting counseling, at least from a school counselor. Sociopaths generally don't care about others either. They have very little concerns about the feelings of other people, they are also often con artists. Unless you have those traits also I wouldn't worry about being a sociopath.

Answer 4

I believe you are suffering from depression, a very common ailment. You need to write down a priority list and start with number one, do not move on until priority one has been accomplished, then move on. It does not matter how many items on your list get done, just that you strive to get the one you are working on, done. The next day, do the same thing. Once you establish a habit of accomplishing things, you'll feel successful and become more confident and motivated, even if you remain a bit depressed. You may want to see a doctor, as well, to rule out possible physical problems.

Answer 5

I suggest you find somewthing and do it pretty quick because at your age, your liable to turn to sex and drugs. Next thing you know, you'll end up like me a 39 year old woman, just out of jail, trying to find a drug rehab to get into, who ended up on the streets commiting crimes and prostituting herself for a five dollar crack rock. I have only four teeth in my mouth, and several abcesses healing on my arms, thighs, and lower legs from where I had stuck myself with dirty needles. I used ended up using abortion as a means of birth control for 5 unwanted pregnancies, because I slept with men, just to get high.Some people may think Im telling you too much, but THATS what happened to me all because I was a bored child, with no drive or interes in anything and I did whatevfer I had to in order to fit in. Trust me- it's ok to be square. Join a club, read a book, go to church- just find something, and DO something with your life before it's too late.Dont think it cant happen to you because it can.

Answer 6

Sounds like you're depressed. I don't know who told you that you are a sociopath but I don't think they know what the word means.

You need to see a counselor about the depression. Some people feel this way due to a chemical imbalance and there are medicines that can help you out of this rut, along with counseling.

Answer 7

i'm 16, and i totally know what you're talking about. firstly i just want you to think about if you care about your family and friends. then get a hobby or after school activity that you really enjoy. this will make your days feel like they have a purpose and will help you to focus on school. i was the same way. last year my GPA was 2.6 (lowest i've ever gotten), and this year it's a 3.5. i didnt get an afterschool activity though, i didnt really need one, i instead tried to step away from talking to my friends in class and talking to them more outside of the classroom. this helped my grades and helped my social life. lol. you should also ask a trusted adult about the situation or an upperclassmen, chances are, they've been there. lol.

Answer 8

I've got one word for you Depression. You can go and see a Dr but they might try to put you on pills that will probably be bad in the long run. Do you have any interests at all from before you got like this? Try to do something you were once interested in. Also try going for walks to clear your head and gentle exercise to clear up the negative energy and thoughts in your head. I speak from experience but either talk to someone or go to a Dr or something, but do it sooner rather than later as if left untreated or undetected it will only escalate.

Answer 9

Maybe your anemic or even going through depression; but your only fifteen what could you be possibly depressed about. Try talking to your mom or a friend. I would seek classes that interest you; talk to your councleor. If you really wanted to do something you will, Dont say i cant because then you wont. GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Answer 10

Do not feel so bad about yourself!! That is your problem most of all!! In time, you will all of a sudden turn around and start to notice everything, everyone!! Something will gain your interest and then!! You will not even know you had the problem you have now!!
