Is it normal that when I get bored I get emo and sad and I think about how unsuccessful and unproductive I am while other people are probably using this time to become rich and happy and better? I feel like I want to use this time to do something good for myself or the world but I dont quite feel up to doing it and not sure how to either...I am 19 and its winter break and hearing other people go back to school already or working makes me so unproductive feeling as well.

Is It Normal?

    It could depend on multiple factors but in the state of normality, try looking to see if you have an introverted or extroverted pesonality. If your extroverted you gain energy by beeing with others and you feel happy. If your introverted and your disturbed during your alone time then something troubling is going on in your mind, I would recommend looking up these to personality traits and find which one is more like you. Its not normal, but its not devistating.

    Idle hands are the devils play thing.

    It's totally normal...nothing good comes from having too much time on your hands. You start thinking and reflecting too much...everyone has these thoughts though.

    You sound like you're depressed and an introvert.

    It's normal to feel that way. I feel that way most of the time, but I've never attributed it to being "emo". I thought it was a normal human emotion.

    I would reccomend that you get a job, go to community college (I get $2500 a semester to pocket with the pell grant, it actually BRINGS in money rather than costing it for me), do volunteer work, something productive rather than moping about it.

    I know a lot of folks like you, and they tell me how they are so jealous that I do things with my life, you just have to find something to do. I get a tad depressive when I have nothing to do, so I go do chores that have fallen out of priority when I was very busy.

    All the time bro. Waiting for my posting right now and still have 3 months before I do start schooling. In that three months I could work and yet I don't think I can because of some complications or I could read up on my soon to be subjects.
