I have no idea what I’m doing with my life.
Hey y’all, I (M23) have been listening to Smosh read Reddit stories lately. It has pushed me to write this.
I have no idea where I’m going in all aspects of life. I am with a woman (F22) and we have been all sorts of bumpy. Ranging from cheating and lying to disrespect and anger. I hate the absolute piss out of my job. I feel like I could be learning and doing more with my life, rather than get talked down on and not listened to there. I make enough money with a decently sized bonus once a year. But I make shit hourly. My truck is becoming more of a money pit than anything. I cut ties off with most of my family, because of turmoil, but recently I found that if I’m not the one trying to mend a blended family (somewhat together) then no one will. So I’m stepping into that roll. I’m slowly taking care of my debt I racked up when I was an idiot 18 year old who didn’t know how credit worked. Recently just decided to move in to a house instead of a one bedroom apartment with said significant other, and I’m not too sure if it’s the right move. I do want to believe it, but I haven’t been able to see past everything I had to put up with this year living together. My energy levels are extremely low. I quit hitting them gym, and I would like to, but if I were to do that my body might physically shut down.
I guess with all that put together without saying to much, I have a couple questions.
Has anyone else felt like this?
What career does a blue collar as myself take the route?
Could you stay with someone who disrespects and lies to you?
How does one move past cheating?
What are some good things to learn at my age?
Man I don’t know, I’m just so confused on life. Feel like I need a coach to help me sort through all this baggage.
I have so much to ask, I just don’t know how to ask it. I don’t know where to go or what to do.
