Doom: you aren't the only one with problems like this. However, I generally don't rant on the forums about personal problems. if you want to ask me about it, that's fine, but my private life stays private, generally. ^^

I'll be 30 in a few months and as of now I've been taking college courses for about 11 years. It will most likely be another year before I get my piece of paper. Now let's name some things that aren't as great as I'd like them to be: 1. My house. It's great and all but not as great as I'd like it to be. 2. My computer. It's great and all but not as great as I'd like it to be. 3. The GF? No, she's pretty cool. But her cat is not as great as I'd like it to be. 4. My job. 5. My paycheck. 6. My social life. 7. My knowledge of auto repair. 8. My knowledge of home improvement. etc. etc. etc.
Know this: At some point you have to stop hoping to have a life and start living the life you already have. It's taken me a very long time to realize this. I know many people older than I who haven't.
Dreams and aspirations don't always turn out to be achievable goals. Take a look around at what achievements you do have and start enjoying them.
this should cheer you up........if not well then consider that this paart of your life isnt hard. you just make yourself think that. extract your brain and relax for one day. relaxing is often overlooked. (oooo look at the freakin hippy....everyone point!)
wow, doom, and a lot of you -- we're in the same boat... I had no idea...
me: 23, still at home, trying to finish up those last college credits but dirt poor, trying to get by working 20 hours a week which is all they'll give me at my job... dead love life, not a bad looking guy but don't know how to meet people... just kinda dead-ended, numbing the mind with countless hours on the computer, as some people numb it with drugs and stuff...
seriously, if you need a roommate I'd move just about anywhere I could get a job =P a bunch of us forumites should just pick up and move in together and start our own business! doing... something..... that we're...... skilled at.........

Actually, yes I have. However I'm in the worst physical shape imaginable (not necessarily obsessively fat, but my muscles are puny and weak) and I doubt I'd be able to do the necessary buffing up uhh ever. heh. Also there are a few other reasons, mainly that I'd be afraid I'd end up like Pvt. Pyle (The Full Metal Jacket one, not Monse :P)

I find that I get through life easily (So far, at least) by thinking like this:
I don't expect much from anyone. I might get a little aid if I'm trying to do something, but I don't expect anyone to go the extra mile to help me out.
I don't expect much from myself. If I fail something, fine, I've failed. I can try it again or I can quit. Either way, I'll finish it eventually.
I don't worry about my future. Focus on today and tomorrow, not on yesterday or weeks/months/years from now.
Work sucks. Do what you have to do, help other people if you think they deserve it, and then spend the rest of the time having fun. You live to have fun, not do some boring routine over and over and over.
Making other people happy is good. I enjoy making people happy any way I can, to a certain extent. Even if they don't like me. (Which is somewhat common.)
