I feel like today people are full of pride and narcissistic. It is that era where were full of ourselves but its okay because its encouraged to love yourself and make something of yourself. Have a sense of purpose. I think it's nice if you think of it that way but I still don't feel like making something of myself. Idk if its laziness but I just don't have the energy to be this full blown person who's so successful and put it out there. In a way I do want to be successful but I guess I'm at that age where you have to be doing a lot to get there (twenties) like things you just don't wanna do. I just wanna lay back enjoy the present and work gradually which I kind of am doing but then I feel like I'm being or looked as "lazy" or "slow" and not that motivating. There's just so many ways you can go now to be successful and it can get overwhelming.

    The Beatles ... Eleanor rigby... All the lonely people . Aside from that depressing song, hey! If your current job keeps you afloat, do some hobbies on the side, in time new doors open and are organic in nature

    Wow I'm just the opposite I spend my time trying to improve and want to excel at work. I think rest and relaxing are important but not to the point of not having ambition.

    if anything thats an inredibly healthy view, you don't feel the need to have to prove yourself or seek validation or purpose through a career, to be happy with simply existing is a great and rare thing, embrace it

      Yes this is exactly it. You explained it way better than I did. I don't feel like proving myself. I'm just fine the way I am and am gradually moving on up. But there's this crazy pressure nowadays where you need some sort of proof to be credible and I just don't feel like I have to do something about it but that's not enough for today's world. I refuse to conform but I've seen pple like me doing it very slowly but surely so I just feel in a way in order to survive you have to confirm a little. And that's just unfortunate.

    I was at this point too, where I just had no idea what I wanted to do since I get to graduate early. But I tried to look at everything that I was interested in, not just the things that I am good at. Then I realized what I wanted to do, although I am not prepared for it. I am just ready to put all of my energy into it and gain the knowledge I need to chase after this career. I never thought in my whole entire life that I would be doing something like this. I only have one year of highschool left and I'm under 18. You will find out what you want to do one day, I promise. And when you realize how bad you want it, you won't be lazy. You'll go get it, because you can!

    You are lacy and slow in the head. Guy's like Obama like to take care of bum's.
