Title. I’m 26 (turning 27 in march) and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I literally sleep until midnight, go to the gym at 1 am and go home and go back to sleep. I recently quit my job for a variety of reasons and now I can’t find a new job despite applying at multiple different places. I’ve been trying to study for my NREMT (EMT government exam) so I could become a fire fighter but I’ve failed the test 3 times because partly im too lazy to study and partly because I hate myself and feel like I’m not man enough to become a fire fighter.I’ve also been trying to get a new girlfriend ever since my last relationship ended over 2 years ago and I still miss her dearly and I try to replace her but I can’t do it. Everything I do I feel like I fail at and it makes me hate myself. My life was going really good before me and my ex broke up. I know it’s been two years and I should be over it by now but she was my first longterm girlfriend and I miss her a lot and think about her every day, even dream about her. I feel like I have nothing really to live for. I can’t pass my EMT exam, I can’t get a job, can’t get a girlfriend, and overall I just hate myself. I hate the way I look, talk, act, etc and I feel like there’s no point in even attempting to build a future for myself anymore. Does anyone have any advice for me? I feel like I’m stuck and idk what to do
>>34136665Take the firetest 3 more times before you give up and actually do whatever it takes to prepare for it. You will have fire fighting chads as friends later. They will help you out.
>>34138142Part of me feels like I’m too much of a pussy or not “man” enough to even be a fire fighter, even though I would really like to be one. I just feel like I’m a pathetic excuse of a man because I’m more emotional and sensitive and I feel like fire fighting is a “chad” job, which I’m obviously not cut out for. Maybe I’m just making excuses but that’s how I feel.
fire fighters are just normal people, try not to put them on a pedestal. If you're able to pass the test and do the work, then you should do so! Don't psyche yourself out, especially when you're so close to the finish line
