Fatigue, Daydreaming, Instant Gratification, Laziness

Postby valnik » Wed Aug 15, 2012 10:53 am

These things in the topic title affect my life very much.

I don't know where to start. I don't know how to write this post, how to explain the things which happen to me. I am used to do a research on the whole forum first, to find a suiting topic and read it through, but I usually bookmark it later, so I can't read more than two or three post at once.

I'd like to read dozens of things (posts, articles, books), but it exhausts me. Sometimes I try to load the pages on my phone and read it while walking around the room, but that doesn't help too much. I usually think I will find that "magic pill information" right in the next topic, but it doesn't happen.

I am bored most of the day (if it's a holiday) or stressed (if it's a schoolday or I have some obligations).

The only things which put me into the "zone" are PC games and movies. Now, during the holiday time, my whole day just consists of sleeping, eating, daily hygiene and playing games/watching movies.

I have also problems with sleeping - either I stay up late till 7 AM, or I sleep too much, like 13 hours, then I get a headache during the next day.

I don't like being around people too much. Conversations and stuff, it's utterly boring to me. I feel like they have nothing valuable to say to me and vice versa.

I hate putting off the rewards, setting goals and projects. I think it's stupid. When I have the opportunity, I just go and get the gratification, be it food late at night or just another hour of PC game.

If even the games, food or movies bore me, I go around the room and daydream - sometimes the thoughts are so "real", that I find myself speaking out loud (or half-whispering) the conversations I am thinking about.

I feel like people are too old machines to be able to cope with today's world, at least that's my case. I don't see a point in putting something off - I am the "go and grab it, while it's here" type.

I am afraid I will not find a proper job - and to be honest I don't wanna have any - but at the same time I don't want to live with my family forever.


I hope somebody will share his/her opinion about me and maybe help me.

I may sound naive and spoilt (and might even be), but saying that is not gonna help me in any way. I feel like I've already resigned, but I am even too lazy to resign permanently (if you know what I mean) > and please don't post the obvious "don't do it" stuff, since I've heard that so many times and I'm even saying that I'm not able to do that, since even that is not so easy to do - nothing is...

It doesn't really matter what fills up your day right, as long as you make sure you have some points in your life taken care of. The thing with jobs is you have to look for something that you find interesting and fun. You're going to have to do it every day. It's good that you like to read, soak up all that information.

It's possible, even if you don't feel sad that your lack of motivation could be caused by depression. Also you don't say how old you are, but if you're in your teens, this could be normal behaviour, although it might help to be active for at least part of the day. Please speak to your doctor if you feel worried or distressed by this.

I was A LOT like this when I was younger (19 now), and still kinda am just a little bit less.

I still fell the same about not having anything interesting and valuable to talk about with others.
Also my sleep schedule is still very ###$ (best word to describe it), lol actually its 7:47 AM here and I have been up all night.

Can relay on the daydreaming a lot too. I do that all the time when walking on street (like not on a purpose but like going to grocery store).

If by resign permanently you meant suicide, I never had those thoughts.

Judging from myself, I would say you are just bored and so you see some of your leaks.
Try finding some hobbies, and in my option those hobbies should be something that you like and enjoy and something that happens on a regular scheduled times. Like soccer training.

Also, as I get older and analyze my life more I'm starting to realize that I'm addicted to computer/internet.
