It's happened, I suppose it happens to every person at some point.
I've started to feel like my existance is worthless.

All i do is go to college, study my science, do some sums and then I go home, do a bit of revision, then play online games. I've realised that a majority of my time is spent doing these things, a majority of my friends seem to follow this regime but I think for too long now have I conformed to this and i'm about fed up of it now.

What's a good way to stop my life being so worthless?

I've been recommended suicide which hasn't really been my thing, suicide turns worthlessness to nothingness and i'd rather have the worthlessness (it's one up from nothingness). Drugs i've been thinking about but everyone says that's not a good thing (understandable really) and that's about it.
is it that you dont see a future or the poor wage that makes you unhappy?
maybe you need a girlfriend?

Good god :rolleyes: Stop moping about and get yer ass doing something.

There's loads of people less fortunate than yourself - in worse off positions than you.

Stick your violin away and pull yourself together.

You made the choices in your life so far, make some more to give you something worthwhile to do.

Get yourself down to a local football/rugby team, train with them 2-3 nights a week, play a game on a saturday/sunday, socialise with them on a saturday night and after training during the week (only a couple of beers though during the week! ;) )

Hey presto, a whole new set of mates, you'll also find them quite useful in later life when you buy a house, my rugby team has a plumber, electrician, kitchen fitter, builder, brickie and taxi driver all at my disposal, aswell as 3 of the local doormen. Shame i seem to get the most use though for fixing their PC's :mad:

Hey,

I've been where you're at and then some. Online gaming is fun in moderation but as everyone says you definately need to work on the social aspect. My advice would be to cut down on the gaming, get a fun job where you can meet cool, like-minded people of a similar age, e.g. a bar. If any of your friends are into sports, give it a try, if not get down the gym and get those endorphins going. It's a fairly depressing time of year TBH, the short days and long nights really drum the monotony home. I also find that whilst at uni it's difficult to really appreciate the lifestyle due to the lack of a work/leisure time divide, but it really can be the best time of your life, it just needs to be structured properly. And take my word for it, drugs do make things worse

take it easy

@mightynimrod - are you feeling hard done by or just particularly narrow minded this morning? Either way keep your opinion to yourself

He does have a point tho, the only way things are going to get better is if you make them, grab life by the balls and make some changes. Nobody is going to want to do it for you.

OP; go and try some things, the more you epxpose yourself to new things, the more likely one of them will stick and become a regular interest. Also, the more things you do / experience, the more interesting you will become to other people...

You only live once so get out there and see what life has to offer...

As whats said above really get your self out, meet people and do things, also why are you doing things you don't enjoy, theres any easy way to remedy that that, don't bloomin' do them!
The advice is good about getting more active, I've done that since splitting with my girlfriend and feel like a whole new person, amazing what a bit of 5-a-side, some running and cycling can do to make you feel better.

And stop moaning, you're at College, things will go down hill once you go to work, College/Uni should be the time of you life!

I'm up to the fourth and I'm having the best time of my life. How anyone can just sit in their room during their college/uni years is beyond me. The only reason your life is so mundane is because you make it that way.

Grow up and get a life is all the advice I can give. You might even enjoy it.

Stop being so pathetic. Make what you want from your life - you're the one who is in control.

Suicide, drugs and alcohol are for pathetic, weak souls who are gullable enough to think they are the cure for everything.

If you play a lot of online games and are good, join a clan and try and better yourself as a cyber athlete. Online games is a sport too and you can get a lot of satisfaction and self worth from competitive gaming.

What awful advice.

"Stay indoors more, and become less social"

If he's feeling like he is, being cooped up inside ain't gonna help I'm afraid, and this is coming from someone who played Counter-Strike at a fairly high level for 2-3 years (playing six odd hours with my clan a day for quite a lot of that period).
