For People Feeling Lost in Life

These are some of my thoughts on feeling a little confused/lost in life. I feel like we don't treat these things as if they are normal, which I believe they are if you are an independent person that is looking for answers. In a way, I hope this can help dispel the idea that people out there have everything figured out. They do not. Nobody does.

They are trying their bests and im just in my room thinking why am i like this, why did they have a child like me? even when all my friends are around me I feel so alone. me and my bestfriend, we have been friends for 8 years now and she is the only one I used to feel actually happy around. now i dont even feel anything when im around her. its like im numb now, I dont know what to do but the only thing I cant get out of my mind is giving up

Our parents know how short life is too, and how expensive life can be, and they have decided to use their short time and money to bring us into the world and raise us. They will always be proud because they created you. They are still learning about life, and they would know some of the feelings you feel too. I’m sure they are always wanting the best for you.

So many people get this feeling and trust me nothing in this world will ever fill that void inside of us. No relationship, no amount of money, no cars or dream job will fill that void deep down. The only solution to fix this kind of emptiness and feel truly loved is to have Jesus Christ. Not the Jesus that the world preaches about and religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus which is nothing like the world can give. Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, and just call out for Him and he’ll be there. I hope this helps. You may not consider it but please I’m begging for your own sake just to give it a try.

Hey I actually just saw a podcast the other day by an entrepreneur named Gary Vee and he touched on the subject of laziness. This helped me personally make a few important decisions in my life, he thinks that being lazy is actually a good thing in the sense of it prevents you from doing stuff you don't want to do. Now yes there are some things that Need to be done. But laziness isn't being lazy it's just not finding something that really gives you that push and drive to go out and do stuff. Say for example me, I'm an artist. I have done all art all my life, but lately I have been lazy about it and feeling unproductive for the past year about it and I came to the realization that I'm simply not interested in it anymore and I rather go skateboard or learn music. So don't think of it as being lazy, but your body giving you an important lesson and insight into what you want and dont want.

I'm 21 and I've never felt so lost in my life. Becoming independent and getting to know more about myself and who I really am (my mom sheltered me too much, so I never got to figure myself out and experience different things) has been overwhelming. I mean, so much has improved in my life recently, but I guess it's human nature to always want more. It's frustrating but I just have to keep reminding myself it will all make sense in time. The person I was last year would never have imagined that I would be in the position I am right now. So I'm trying my best to myself that everything is part of the process, even painful moments like these.

[@JackGE]

I feel very much like yourself. However, we will never figure everything out. The more we learn, the more we realise how much we don't know. All you can do is what feels right at the time and never regret because you can't change the past. I was also very sheltered, resulting in me becoming very anxious and overwhelmed easily, but I've realised that we need to challenge those feelings to progress and come to our own conclusions. And most of the time, it isn't as scary as we anticipated. So relax, you're doing fine and you're so damn young! Take opportunities by the horns and don't forget to look at how far you have come. Good luck 😊

[@mlagv4045]

I did a gap year a few years back. Best thing I ever done. Really. I didn’t do a lot of things really, but holy shit I actually know who I am now. I have grown so much mentally and my friends who didn’t took a gap year is still figuring that out. I am now doing honours in psych. So you don’t get lazy on a gap year, much unlike people want to tell you. Just use this year to be something a lot of people try to ignore - spend time with themselves.

I've been feeling lost in my Uni days. I've taken back for two years trying to find the reason why i'm going there (I was kind of forced to attend that uni) And in the last year of uni, i figured out that i have no idea AT ALL. I lost two years of my time doing things i don't even remember. And then i saw a movie, someone gave the lead a flower called Gerbera bcause she felt lost on her life (she quit her job) When she asked why Gerbera, he said "Gerbera has a meaning which is...one step. Just take one step at a time, something you can do at the moment whether it's eating, taking shower, sleeping or doing laundry. And just keep taking one step. I wish you good luck" So I did... It was really hard, i remembered i started from taking shower and clear my mind. Declutter my room. And then i asked friend to help me finish uni. And here's I am now managing my own business. For those in their 20s (or others), Just take one step at a time...and don't think too much. Have a nice day 💜

If you feel empty or/and lost, just go out there and try to find someone to help, and then you'll have found the true happiness and the true connection with the people, it comes from itself, for me, it works and it gives me meaning or at least a sense of living and it feels amazing.

[@timphares]

It took me years to realize the world didn't hate me, I was doing this to myself. Your conscious mind leads. Your subconscious mind protects, justifies, and chooses how you remember. Self doubt, fear, anything that stops you in your tracks, are from your subconscious. Feeling lost or confused come from conflict between what your conscious mind wants and subconscious mind can't imagine. It means you're storing things in your subconscious mind, little messages you instantly think about, that are not part of you. What you can/can't do. What's possible/impossible. What you should/shouldn't do. You can't fly. I know you can. People and situations dump junk on you all day long, most of which is negative, or simply not true. If you change how you respond, how you think about this bunk, over time, you will learn what is you and store that away. The rest gets dumped through meditation at the end of the day. That is the heart of self discovery, accession, awakening, moving to a higher self. Young children and babies believe they can do no wrong because nothing negative has been stored. We teach them that stuff. Do this, do that, or else this. You're born with only 2 fears. Falling and suffocation (drowning). The rest you learned whether you wanted to or not. Your spirit has been very patient with you, but it can only take so much. It's time to release all of this goop you've been carrying around through no fault of your own. You've opened your eyes to the real you for the first time. Now, it's time to see what you can do with it. Sure, it's hard. Awkward at first. Like it was learning to ride a bike. You will fall. You will fail. You will get hurt. People who loved you, may hate the new you. Criticize you mercilessly. Half your brain will tell you, you can't do this. Tell that half, too bad. I'm doing this no matter what. Fail, get back up, and repeat as needed until you reach success. And, celebrate your success in your own way, to the max. Tiny little things make you who you are and tiny little successes lead to massive results. No one can do this but you. Are you still reading this stuff? What the hell are you waiting for? Get outta here. Go, do, find, learn, create - YOU!

At 21 I never thought I would be where I am, I've been through so many trials and hard times in life both physical and mental.

The truth is I'm not in the best position in my life, but I've came a long way and overcame countless hardships that a lot of people dont go through.

I dropped out and learned more in the year afterwards than the year I spent in school. It was the best decision I ever made. Incredibly difficult at the time. Hard to tell my parents and people who saw it as failure or a huge risk. But I believed in my ability to learn on my own, seek help from people smarter than me, and make progress everyday towards what I wanted. It worked out really well and now it seems like it was such an obvious decision. The existential questions have never stopped but materially and in terms of my skills development it was the fastest path. Good luck with the next phase of your life's journey!

I have made lists in the past to keep myself on track and 90% of the time I've achieved those short-term goals. Yet, here I am doubting on myself, feeling lost, questioning my moves and thought-process. Somedays I feel like talking to someone about it and at the same moment, I feel they won't understand so let it be. I always have these rush of moments and thoughts that makes me feel helpless about me. I am sure there are many people who might feel this way yet somehow I find myself all alone in this weird battle with myself.

It is not unimportant! I think for being able to actually live, we should feel this way at least once. It can be really scary, hard and painful, but it's needed. Only then we'll be able to grow.

I'm 30 next year and the feeling of approaching that milestone makes me think about my life and where it's going, and it's a paralysing thought.

[@scarlettc9183]

I find you so unbelievably relatable. As if you are going along with a collective consciousness that is leading to the same question. I could watch these for hours on end and realise that I am not alone in being, in feeling alone, in feeling lonely. In not having the answers that we all seek. I am coming to believe the beauty is in the not knowing what is next and the curiosity that comes from that. Creatures of habit, creatures of curiosity and for us, creatures of attaining insight. If not only insight to the fact we indeed have none. Thankyou
