Does anyone feel similar
Does anyone else feel like maybe the won't grow up or have a future?
I feel like this all the time. I just can't see a future for myself. My life beyond now has always been blank. When I was younger and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up I'd always just put what other people put. Now when people ask me I just say I'm going to be a lawyer, but really I can't imagine doing anything. I can't picture getting married or having children. And I know that some people don't have these things and still live good lives, but when I think about a future it's nothing there. So I was just wondering if anyone else felt similar.

i think too much emphasis is put on people especially young people of what career or where do they see themselves.. life has a way of things popping up and opportunities or even tragedies change the path....
News flash most of the people i went to school with did NOT end up in the careers they say they wanted some not even close.... some who followed it no matter what found out the path / career was not what they thought and were not happy ..........................but stuck with it as it is always a good story ..."i knew from time i was 8 blah blah"
Look around at people who started out doing corporate big careers and then opened a diner or a bakery or flower shop ..... you can see it on several bios etc.
@WavesofKei Hey there! I'm in a similar boat to you; when people ask me to visualize where I want to be in the future, I can't come up with anything. I have no idea what I want to do in the future. I literally cannot imagine myself as I would be in a future. It does get me down sometimes, but what I like to remember is that everyone goes through life at their own pace. It's okay that you don't know what you want yet; there are many other people in the same boat as you. There are probably even people older than you that still don't know what their future looks like!
You are definitely not alone in this feeling, and I hope you find some relief from it soon :)
I feel the same way, sometimes I think about it so hard to the point I get anxious and depressed. Honestly I don't know what I want to be and I'm in my last year of college btw.
I can't say that I have felt exactly the same way, but I do understand the panic of not feeling like you have a direction right now. Most people have a lot less clear picture of what they want to do than they look like.
It might help to not focus on a life path, but more on the things that you enjoy right now in ANY way. What do you like to do in your free time? Do you have a favorite class?@WavesofKei
@WavesofKei hi, try not to worry about the future. It's the present we must live in and make the most of ❤ and if anyon e else asks what your future looks like. Tell them to mind their own buisness
This. I have noticed that people love to ask others about their future and when they give an uncertain response, they are always quick to judge.
