Question Posted Wednesday December 10 2008, 11:01 pm
I've gone to the point in my life that I just feel stuck. Same boring things repeated everyday. No new, exciting things to lift my mood. My friends bore me, it seems like they've just gone together and left me behind. No knowlegde of what I want to do in the future (I'm a senior in hs). I dont like where i live, yet, I'm not allowed nor even brave enough to try something new, to go to another college out of town. No romance...ever. It seems to me like every little thing that would bring laughter or inspire me to do things is no longer there. I've either gotten bored of my boring life or just really need prozac. Help?

But you gotta realize that if you do the same things, you GET the same things. I think you know that if you want change, you have to swallow your fear and work at it. So to make different things happen, go out and do different things. Join a club. Talk to strangers. Find a cool hobby. Think of it this way. You only know for sure that you have this one life. Do you really want to waste it just living a boring, mediocre life? Or do you want that ideal life that, for now, only exists in your head? Whatever it is, you gotta take some risks. Start slow, but you slowly have to ease out of that comfort zone. Anyone can be brave and have a exciting life, its those barriers in our own mind that stop us. There's a whole world out there, with things to do, people to see, and stuff to learn. Don't miss out on it. Good Luck. [ Gman's advice column | Ask Gman A Question ]
