Never Enough

Postby ThatWeirdKidd » Sun May 10, 2009 4:44 am

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i'll stick it here...

I'll start by saying I think I have a pretty good life. In fact, certain people might even say I have a great life....but the last 6-8 months i've been very unerved and uneasy about things. I feel like whatever I do is not good enough for me. I always feel like there's something better out and im wasting my time. Examples: 2 weeks ago I hung out with some close friends that i've known for many years for 4 nights in a row. It was alot of fun and I ###$ love them to death. But afterwards, I kept asking myself "Are there better people out there I could be hanging out with?" "Did I just waste my time with them when I could've been doing something more fun and exciting"? After a 2 year break from school (im 20) I'm looking at colleges now. I'm very unhappy with all the colleges i've looked at. I pretty much convinced myself that whatever college I get into will suck ass and not suit me. Same thing applies to relationships.....I don't think i'll ever be in pleasing relationship. I just know that i'll feel that there's someone out who I connect with stronger than the person I am with. I've been a pretty optimistic, upbeat guy most of my life but these feelings are so ######6 frustrating and it's really getting to me.

I fear that I will never be content and comfortable with anything in my life. I fear that i'll never be able to shake this constant goddamn feeling of "wanting more".

Anyone experience the same feelings?

I feel that way about what degree/career to go after: will I enjoy it for life? I also wonder, will I meet someone I really love?
There is nothing wrong with trying something new while still keeping in touch with what you know (new friends and old friends). You might even find that at college.
At college you could try general courses that are required for any degree until you decide.
I heard love happens unexpectedly.
Do you find yourself limiting what you think you could do, due to degree length?
Nothing appropriate comes to mind.

No, I actually have pretty high hopes and big dreams....I don't care how long it takes to finish college. I just want useful, fun classes that can I really benefit from. It doesn't matter if I have to go for 4 years, 5 years, 6 years etc...I want to do what makes me happy and I don't want to concern myself with any timeline.
