ahhh. I was thinking about that last night, where for some, they have to get away from it all, to start peling away the layers others laid on them. Yet, you are the type who hasn't filled yourself up yet and need to expose yourself to new things and new people to get more of an idea of what you like and want.

So many know what they don't want and like, and for them, its a matter of peeling away the ayers that hold them down. Many others still don' know what it is they really want and like. They need more life experience and options to pick and choose from of what they want to fill themselves up with. Being isolated doesn't help that part for sure.

At least you have discovered one thing about yourself and that is that you like being around people and social activity.
Now you just need to go be where the peeps and action are. Make some decisions for what it would take to make that happen and act on them.
Is there someone who wants you to be where you are "isolated" that you trying to please? Is that the sucky part you ant to break from?

Yes! I am very much the latter, I'm just procrastinating starting out on my travels.

There is no personal situation that's holding me down at all. So yeah, being indecisive due to not figuring stuff out yet is the trouble with deciding just where to start out the journey!

So far, I've gone 3 months doing nothing. It's very relaxing and stress free. Smoking helps too, a lot.

I would say I basically had no or minimal responsabilities from the day I was born until age 23, 1 year after I left Uni.

Certainly Uni where I bummed out bigtime, smoked a whole lot of weed and for the entire third year basically lived like a hermit! Then after I travelled round Asia for a while....

Helped get my mind right? Maybe.... But not as much as full social interaction does.

I'm stuck in a phase like this, but in a different sense. I had to drop out of college when my wife's (then GF) mother died. I had helped her with a lot of problems involved with the property, my wife's father, and various other irritating dramatic issues. I have since gotten a full-time job that is very labor-intensive and graveyard hours.

My days consist of getting home from work in the morning, sleeping for a few hours, waking into a concious sleep, doing a few mundane things, like troll the internet :lol:, clean some dishes, watch some tv, and go to sleep for a few hours more before going to work. This is every day for my work week.  My weekends are a more extended version of laziness, with a lack of concern for social contact.

I know this doesn't sound like the blissful nothing that most of you have written about, but it's the sort of thing that came to mind when I first saw this post.  Empty stagnation of the soul. Unstimulated. Disinterested. 

On the other hand, I'm trying to get out of this rut. Trying to do some reading, learning about horticulture :thumbup:, and trying to meet new people.

Okay! We always "do" things. But I think the difference comes when "doing" involves reponsability and productivity.

bah.

The thing is I don't empathise with that view. :grin:

But I can sympathise that you're what?  18/19?  Haven't done any serious work in your life and are pretty miserable about leaving your childhood and becoming an adult.  I'll say it again:  Work gets you to other things, good things.  Whether you hate the work or not it creates a life for you.  For example when I left Uni I busted my hump for a year landscaping 60+hour weeks.... the pittance I earnt was saved and put into the trip of a lifetime travelling around South East Asia.

Cheer up please :wink:

The main reason people fall into dead end jobs (like the one I had for 15 years) is that they have no clear goal or idea of what they want to do...so they just take what comes along. Clarify your goals and then proceed with clarity and decisiveness. Things will change.

i took 6 months off at the start of this year, and i agree that it was the most productive and enjoyful period of my life. i discovered so much about myself and the world, and i'm actually having trouble going back to sticking at any kind of work.

"The main reason people fall into dead end jobs (like the one I had for 15 years) is that they have no clear goal or idea of what they want to do...so they just take what comes along. Clarify your goals and then proceed with clarity and decisiveness. Things will change."

this is true. a month of factory work forced me to find what my goal was in life, and i'm now planning to start a horticulture course in july. if all goes to plan, one day my only boss will be mother nature :wink:

Don't get a job. Acquire a skill. Then go. Value yourself and what you can do with your brain.
