Waking up for what again?

There isn't anything wrong with my life. I have a happy family, everything is fine. I live in a nice town where things go accordingly. It's just I'm so empty.

I feel so empty, nothing to hold on to, nothing but myself. I have hopes and dreams.. but they are impossible and don't make me feel better. I don't try to think about my emptyness I just try living day to day, every day.

Its not even hard to live, its just sad having nothing to live for.

Im NOT suicidal, I DO not inflict damage to myself, I work out, and I have friends. But something is missing or something isnt right, I just cant figure it out.. I'm not really even begging for suggestions. I just need to let anyone know what I'm feeling. Its almost like a dream.. a normal.. dream.
 
"Most men lead their lives in quiet desperation."

That's a quote from some anonomous philosopher, probably just some drunk guy, oh well :thumbsup:

You need to try doing things you havn't done before. Try something that you've always wanted to do, even if it seems impossible. A lot of people have felt this way and it has led them to do some great things.

This is YOUR life, and YOU can do some truly great things. :)
 
The hopes I have, are useless. I have tried my hopes out, expecting to be happy. It never did anything except bring me this. My own hopes ruined me. I am now a slave to myself.. trying to get away from me and to be someone who has meaning. My hopes are nothing.. making me useless.
 
Yeah.. nothing I can do now. I serve no one but myself. To me, that is useless.. I now, have no reason to be existing. It's just me, and I can't get through my life alone. It's just hard when people have so many people to love and me having to watch when I can't love anyone without rejection.

Please understand that.
 
Get more involved, and open, with shit. If you are already, get more involved, try new stuff, make new friends, you know. There are many things to fill a gap in your life, you just gotta find it. Once you do, you're set.

Just don't sit around dwelling on the fact that you feel empty. But if you literally feel empty, grab some foods. :burga:
 
The smart ones always come to this realization The Chad. It's all about focusing on things that DO make you happy, and just suppressing the rest. There must be something you like, just try and do as much of it as possible. I know how you feel, really and deeply. There's little choice but to plow on and take the good where you can.
 
Thanks.. thats really helpful in a way.. it kinda helped me solve my problem.




haha, thanks. But if I started eating to much all my working out would go in vein(sp?)
 
Chad, we ALL feel lonely, desperate and rejected at times in our lives. The people you see who are in loving relationships, they all feel it too. They may hide it, but trust me, their grass isn't any greener.

It's been said here before but whatever. Do things that you've never done. If it seems remotely interesting, give in a shot. See what you think of it. Don't hold back for fear of failure. If you're afraid to fail, you already have.

To me it sounds like you want to do something in the world. You want to make a difference. Well, do it. Find a volunteer group. Work at the local animal shelter. Go work in a hospital as a volunteer. Whatever.

At the end of the day, your life IS about you. It's not conceit to say it either. That doesn't make you the most important person in the world, but understanding that your life is about you, does help you figure out what it is you are trying to do with it.
