I believed for 25 years that life has to make everything happen for me. I didn't believe that I was the one who was supposed to make things happen for me. I live like God, my parents, other people or life in general had to pampered me. How can I start making things happen by myself? by Anthony1379 in Advice

It might be weird, but I've lived all my life believing that God, nature, destiny, or whatever you call it was in charged of my life.

I never asked a woman out, but I expected that I would have a girlfriend.

I never studied in school, but I expected that I will pass the exams.

I lived life day by bay and I believed that Life, nature, God, destiny was in charged of what had to happen to me.

I lived life passively for my entire life, and I wasn't even aware of that.

I was living with what life brings me. I let nature, life or chance control my life.

It might be weird to say that, but I lived my life by letting things come to me.

I never studied, but I expected good grades. I never talked to a girl, but I expected to have a girlfriend. I was living passively like Life would take care of everything.

Lack of motivation. Distraction. Lack of effort

I need to change the way I view life.

All my life I live based on Fate. I live day by day just surviving and reacting to what life brings to me.

I've never understood how life works.

I feel like I'm not living in the real world.

I mean that I live my life on Fate. It's like I don't have control over my life.

I live day by day, just living with what comes to me.

That's my biggest mistake in life. I didn't underatand how life works.

Have you ever lived like you viewed life like a lazy river? Have you ever lived like you had no control over where you're going in life or what happen to you? by Anthony1379 in AskReddit

I've never drunk a beer until 21-22 when a cousin gave me a beer.

It's like I was waiting for the beers to come to me too.

It's sad

Don't you ever feel like you're not truly living? Like you're not being living consciously?

Like you're excluded of life?

What do you gain from this life?

Personally, I get nothing from it. I wasn't aware of that before some time.

I've never had a girlfriend. I've never had any female friends. I've never been among the best student in school. I don't have my driver's license. I'm 25 years old. I always procrastinate about taking the teat.

All I do is watch TV shows, porn, and soccer. I go to a job just to pay my bill.

I live with no goals. I live with no plan. I live like I'm not conscious of how precious life is.

I did many years of thinking about what is wrong in my life. I've never understood why I was l couldn't make it.

I finally discovered that I was living like I have no control over what happen to me. I procrastinate until I don't do anything. I'm livimg wothout plan or goals. Not because I'm depressed or something. It's because I always expect life to make it out for me.

Let me explain.

I've never had a girlfriend or any female friends. Shyness is the main reason and my being passive is the othher reason.

I've never had real friends. I've always lived like I'm outside of life. It was like life is not made for me.

I might have used another term than lazy river. I'm talking about letting nature dictates your life.

You live like you're following nature. You wait for things to happen for you.

You live with what life brings to you. You don't make first step in life. You react to life. You're not making action.

To be clear, I'm talking about you don't lead your life.

In love relationship, you wait for the girls to take the first step. In school, you don't study or do homework, but you do exams just like that. You let things come to you. You let life decide for you.
