I feel like I have no feelings...and it's hard when my mom is trying to push me to set goals and help plan my future when I just can't think of that right now..
Yeah, in a year I'm going to be finished high school and I'm gonna lose all my friends since they are going to university and I'm not.. I just don't like thinking of the future even when it's slowly getting closer and closer...but I can't feel anything..and it sucks... And I feel like I'm wasting my life...yay... Just venting... Honestly just want to go away and not have to deal with anything...oh how I wish I was kid again... |

I'm sorry, MelonSoda. Your parents want a bright future for you, but I'm guessing it feels overwhelming for you to think about, and you're probably afraid. Try to work on it a little at a time. It'll be easier that way. Don't avoid it altogether, because life will pass you by. Trust me on this.

There are plenty of places to meet new friends these days. I've met some of my closest friends online; a few stayed as online relationships due to living in different areas and with some I hung out with quite frequently IRL. A lot of my IRL friends have moved to far away cities or different states and the only way we can keep in touch is via the interwebz or phone. The dynamics of friendships are always changing. When you say, "I just can't think about that right now" why is it that you can't think about your future right now? It is good to plan for the future, but you can't put so much effort into that you forget about the present. Balance is needed, for sure.

It might be helpful to see a therapist by yourself and with your mom. Best wishes.

Obtaining new friends is a very healthy thing to do. It means expanding your interests, experiences, and will impact your goals.
As mentioned above, jumping into university is not necessary to improving oneself. But consider ways to still occupy yourself. Doing so will teach you some valuable skills and work ethic. By the time your acquaintances come out of school you won't just be ahead financially, you will likely have your feet solidly on the ground and could even be more rounded. Indeed, going straight into the workforce has its benefits too. If you are struggling with what on earth to do or what direction to take, seek out your school guidance counsellor once you return to studies this Fall. They will have a wealth of tools and resources to help you make some decisions. Have you a summer job? It is a bit late to find one but they are still out there. I recommend you look for one. Should this be fruitless, consider then volunteering. In fact summer is a perfect time to do so what with special events and festivals during the season. This will not just be something to add to your resume but is a fabulous way to make new friends, open your horizons, and even establish new interests. I realise this sounds tough to do. I assure you though that after that first time you put yourself out there it will get easier. |
