In a few years I'll be 30 but I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I graduated from college couple years ago but am not working in that field as it isn't for me. Career/job wise, I'm not sure what I'll do or if I'll go back to school. (I currently have a job and have no idea what I'll study if I go back to school.) I just feel stuck in life. How are you guys doing in yours?

Everyone will get stuck at one of of their life ......time is always ahead but with those time you can work on yourself c: find your strength and weakness ...your wants and needs ...if you have a talent or passion, try to make it as a career or try to use your talent somewhere you can try out and see if you would enjoy what you do. Don't follow the world's steps c: it is your life. No need to follow anyone...go on your pace and reach your success at your pace....... their is a lady who became a chef at her 40s and been working with top chef around the world like gordan Ramsey...took her 40 years to figure out what she want to do.....not saying it will be same for anyone but time will tell. We all stuck , I myself also stuck but put yourself up to a challenge ...make yourself uncomfortable cause that where you will find what ever you looking for....if you good at something, then keep doing what you good at . Life going to get tougher but you got to be toughest in your story of life ^^ once you find that spark in your life, just hold onto it and just work towards more...adapt ^∆^ ...All successful people got to where they wanted cause they put time and energy ...body builder works 24/6 to get to their size......everyone is a beautiful soul, don't doubt yourself..we all have our own strength. Smile smile smile, much bless and love to alllll!

I’m 31, and still don’t know what I’m doing with my life, I’ve went back to college to get a degree to teach history, but I still have moments of “okay but is this really REALLY what I want this time?” It just seemed less traumatic than working at the call center I’d gotten sucked into, and was causing emotional distress. 🤷🏻‍♂️. People think we’re adults in our thirties, but honestly I still feel like a teenager

I’ll be 20 in a year and I already know where I want to be by the time I’m 30. I have this dream of owning my own security company one with the goal to protect others at all costs. It will be difficult but it’s what I want to do with my life. Perhaps you have a dream that regardless of how difficult it may be you will want to achieve it all you have to do is give yourself some time to think about where you want to be then take the first steps towards that.

Part of the reason I feel stuck in life is because I realize there is no goal job for me. I work to live, and just about anywhere I work, leaves me little money and time to do so.

Quentin

I have a career and I’m relatively in a stable position, but tbh if I ever had the means to fully dive into the parts of my life I’m passionate about with the same degree of security, I’d take it in a heartbeat. I’m sure a lot of people feel that way. I just tell myself as long as my jobs serving me and not the other way around— like it affords me the money to live comfortably and pursue my other goals, then it’s a good job for this point in my life. But I don’t think I can keep doing it forever. I feel like, geographically locked in to where I live bc of it.

Yes, most of the graduates feel so. I've been teaching graduates and I have found many jobless. In trying circumstances they have to accept any other jobs. In spite of their being so much deeply job oriented and career conscious they fail achieving their dream jobs. But it should not discourage you. Be hopeful for the life which is bigger than the job, longer than the career. Since we are destined to live life we will have to compromise with the career. I pray god's grace to you! 🙏🙏🙏 May my words bring solace! 💐💐💐💐💐👏👏👏👏👏

The Escape

I spent 20 years of my life in a dark depression. I always held hope that the light I saw in distance was only a step away. The darkness was a winding labyrinth of infinite dead ends and my steps were agonizingly slow. Half step here and half step there. But I kept walking and in time, despite my... (edited) read more

Has anyone went back into their awkward faze?

I used to be outgoing, but as I get older it’s hard for me to find people that understand me and vibe with. Does anyone else experience this? It’s like I want to converse with someone, but I don’t want to feel like I’m giving a 100% and I only get 25% back.

Never force relationships or communication. If it's not mutual, let it go. People know exactly what they're doing, if they wanted to match your energy, they would. Start rewarding inconsistency with unavailability. Let their lack of effort be the reason they lose you.
