how do you deal with not having any ambition? i lost all passion for academics and any desire to work. i don't even want to move out anymore. everyone around me expects me to do better and be someone, but no matter how i look at it they never done anything themselves, there's no one to look up to in this family, they're all broke free loaders
>>84928459Do the bare minimum to get a (useful and directly applicable with real skills) degree or apprenticeship and career and ride it out. That's what 99% of people do and many are successful that way. If you don't want to work or engage in academics consider that alternatives often involves more work.
>>84928459I don't know, anon, but I can tell you that the wages of sin are, in fact, death. I can tell you that I regret not just trying things when I was younger and had more potential, that regardless of how futile I thought trying was, it would have been better to waste my time trying than to have wasted my time wasting away. I can tell you that the pain of regret for inaction stings more than the pain of failure in an earnest attempt. If you don't know what to do, do anything, there are no longer any wrong answers when you aren't sure what your destination is. Some are blessed with a deep drive, usually seeded in childhood, to become something in particular. Most just make the best moves they think they can. Some, like me, maybe like you, get so hung up by inaction and indecision that they make no moves at all, and then wonder 10 years later why nothing has changed. I wanted to go to the military. If I had, maybe I would have hated it and gotten out after my first contract, maybe I would have failed and washed out, but all I have are maybes, and if I had at least tried and found out it wasn't for me, I would have gained experiences and stories that would have rounded me out as a person. It isn't the times I tried and failed that haunt me, it's the what-ifs that will never be answered. Live your life without what-ifs as much as possible, because they will stay with you for the rest of your life.
make a goal for yourself in writing and then if you do it you get a reward and if mot then you get a punishment. if you have a dad worth anything he would be happy to do that for you
