Do you feel like you're doing anything? Are you being 'productive' or 'useful'?
I know it's common for people to feel insecure about their futures, but I can't help but feel that way. I feel like I'm in some sort of self-pity.
people always think they should be more productive, should have accomplished more by now, or should be working towards some vague yet wonderful future.
Basically it is just others trying to tell you how to live.
I know a lot of older people have a habit of asking younger ones "what are you doing with your life?" Just come up with some bullshit answer to appease them.
The only things one needs to really do are keep a roof over head, have food, and maybe a little fun now and then.
He who dies with the most toys still dies.
I like your answer. I was going to say something very similar, so I'll just add one more point. Along with the roof, food, and fun you mentioned, I think maybe another goal is to not be a total asshole. I mean, we don't always have to be the most generous and loving person, (I know I'm not) but maybe if we strive to not be total jerks, then we won't make the world uglier than it already is.
I'm not doing too much with my life yet but once I leave highschool, I'm going to travel through the Indigo Shire with friends.
Does digging holes in the ground and staring at maps count as productive or useful? Probably not, so not much.
Well I was in college/courses/unemployed since I left school. Got my first ever (part time) job last year at 26 (it's not even anything to do with what I did in college, just a basic office job). And I'm still struggling through that job now since I have extreme social anxiety which makes it difficult for me to ask the boss what he wants me to do, or to say literally more than 2 words/day to my coworkers.
Whatever I'm doing with my life is definitely not enough...
Did deal with very bad depression and self hate, so now I'm focused to make money. The more money I make, the better I feel and the bigger sense of accomplishment I have.
After two years of college, I now have a wonderful job that I love in a great southern city! I volunteer at Meals on Wheels, and at Food and Shelter For Friends. I also am an admitted sex addict (cumslut) and have sex as often as I can with as many as I can (bisexual)! Other than that, not much. And I love my life!
