I
Im afraid of life turning me bitter. I dont see the point of a lot of things anymore. I have goals, but they dont necessarily make me happy, or fill me with purpose. I feel like Im just drifting through life, just trying to get by, settling for my circumstances, and Im scared that this is permanent.
@MiriB96 I feel the same thing. What helps me sometimes is to think of ways to help others. It can be a small thing, but you feel lIttle better . I hope things improve for you
We often can feel bitter at times. Especially when parts of our lives are not working out for us. I suppose in theory. It is easy to look at the many things we do in our lives as pointless. This can happen when we are feeling at a 'low ebb'. Often we ask. 'What is the point of doing this or that?'.
In life. It's not always about whether what you do is pointless or important, but what you feel is OK for you. When it comes to setting yourself goals. I have found it best to 'take one step at a time'. When you look at your goals 'in one go' they can seem daunting and that in itself can be rather 'off putting'.
The important thing is that you are achieving a purpose for yourself by working through your goals. Having a hobby or two can give yourself purpose. Even our jobs.....The most mundane......Our of importance to other people....All occupations are purposeful......
I think we all feel like that we are drifting through life and many of us are definately just 'getting by'. Settling for our circumstances can help make it easier to look at our goals without over-pressuring ourselves.
