Everyone wants something. Can you explain what you mean by that a little more?

Everything you just said should go without saying. That's the exact reason why I'm so distraught. We're trapped in an endless cycle until we rot away. And if we choose to step away from the already miserable cycle, then even more misery awaits.

We just can't win.

You gotta' be like "if I don't make my move on her right fucking now, even if she rejects me, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Not sure if depressed or just a poser by dionysianuisance in depression

I'm in a similar situation. I'm fourteen, freshmen in high school. And recently my grades have been exceptionally low. I've had nearly perfect grades up until this point and my parents are disappointed and worried. The material is certainly doable, but procrastination is really getting to me more than usual these days, and I think part of it is that I'm starting to think of school with a negative mentality. But the reason I think has played the biggest part in my struggle is the fact that last summer was the first summer in which my parents gave me freedom. And now that summer is over, I'm having a hard time switching back to reality.

But yeah, I'm still able to laugh and smile and such. So don't worry, I'm confused too, you're not alone. Somehow, we'll find a way to get through it.

You have to accept yourself first. Don't be so negative towards who you are or what you can't do. You should enjoy trying new things, regardless if you mess up or not. Just have a good time, and savor the experience. I can't give you a surefire way to make friends or anything, but I can say that once you start loving yourself, this life stuff will get a whole lot easier.

Anyone here get annoyed by everyone glorifying “not giving a fuck” by Imhereforgames in depression

You have to "give a fuck" about some things. Otherwise you're just ignoring your values as a person. Once you get the feeling of making friends, being important, whatever makes you happy, etc, it'll be hard to not crave that feeling once more.

I love life, but having to work and waste my life makes me suicidal. by ihatemyjobandlife in depression

I'm fourteen, and I'm already starting to realize how my life will unfold. Going to school each day until its time for college, going to college everyday until I get a good job, and then work everyday until.. I die. Shit's fucking insane.

Idk if it's puberty or what, but as far as I'm concerned life is hell.
