lmasterz Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hello, I've recently been feeling lost and don't know how to go about life or what to do. I'm 30 years, well educated, above-average looking, well rounded individual I would say. I've been unemployed for almost 6 months now but I am very financially stable though. I have also been single for a while now. I want to have a serious relationship but it's really hard to find someone since I live in a somewhat small community where everyone knows everyone. There's a 3 degrees of separation I reckon. I am also picky, and do not like to settle. I also feel I can't tell a girl I'm interested in that I'm unemployed as it's unattractive. Also, 95% of my friends are married or getting married soon which make matters worse. I have so much time during the day and I don't know what to do with it. I don't know how to excel or how to productively use my time. I workout and play tennis. I stopped looking for a job because I loathe being an employee. I want to start my own thing but don't know in what. I recently started reading books, but I'm slacking off now. I just don't feel productive and it's killing me. I'm almost starting to feel like a failure. Apologies for the post being all over the map, I was just speaking my mind there and then. Has anyone been in such situation/phase and grew out of it?

Batya33 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would look for volunteer opportunities and not to sound like a broken record here but I'd look to helping backstage at a community theater. Also force yourself to do at least 30 minutes of brisk cardio exercise every day, preferably in the morning - power walking/running -biking, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alter Life Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Some suggestions for you ( I was in similar shoes, some years ago ) - build new habit, a good one. Even simple one is fine, and try to stick and enjoy it as long as you can. - learn to be more grateful with your life. look around you, you will surely find something to be thankful for. One example I saw is: you are unemployed and yet financially stable. Isn't it cool? - learn to do more appreciation for anything. - try to volunteer for any cause. - let go of your worry about getting a girlfriend or married soon. Just because most of your friends are married or getting married soon does not mean you have to follow them. - enjoy yourself more, dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown9 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Are you stuck living where you now live? I think a change in your environment might do you a world of good. chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
