Feeling unmotivated

[oldwirehands]

Does anyone else ever feel like this? I feel like it 24/7. I'm completely unmotivated in anything. I wasn't motivated enough to get through high school. Now I'm not motivated enough to get a job. My parents ask me "Don't you care about your future" and I just say no. I really mean that to. I just don't care at all about myself or my well-being. Money means nothing to me. There is nothing I need. I have enough clothes and get just enough food.

There are two things I can stay consistant with. Music and girls. I will drive 3000 miles in order to be with my girlfriend. Well, I don't have one now. I actually spent $250 for a trip to Detroit to visit a girl I was dating (weird relationship). With music, I'm constantly motivated to get somewhere with my career as a musician. I'm always writing new songs, promoting, and booking.

Those are the only two things I really care about. I don't really give a shit if I end up homeless on the streets of Chicago. Its kind of getting serious. I really just don't give a fuck what happens to me. I don't know what my problem is. Has anyone felt this way? Did you do anything about it?

Actually I know exactly how you feel....I have a shitty job that makes me just enough money and when I think about it I only really stick with it so no one can tell me I'm not doing anything..but I don't really have a long term plan unless I end up doing something with music...otherwise I think the homeless scenario is definitely going to fit me someday. I don't want to get stuck in some 9-5, 40 hour a week job for the rest of my life that I know I can't stand when I don't really have a reason to do anything in the first place. I think most of my problem is loneliness and not having anyone there for me in an intimate relationship sense. Anyways, on some level I understand and it sucks.

[punklet2101]

Yes.

I'm too tired to type out everything

[burntheaction]

yes.
but i think i'm just lazy.
i know i SHOULD be doing all this work but i never get round to it, and when i do i never try. i've been pretty lucky so far in that i still get good grades at college, but if i don't try soon i might not get the grades this summer that i need to get to uni.
this might seem like nothing, but i can never just sit down and work. my mind always strays to something i think is more important. i'll gladly just sit and listen to my music and think instead of sitting composing classical music for my coursework. i think i'm only unmotivated because i don't really enjoy what i do. i think subjects like biology and music are very unneccessary. i don't need those things to do english at uni, so why should i be doing them now?

Yeah, thats how I feel. I never really thought about it but the relationship thing could be true. If anything could motivate me to do anything, it would be a serious girlfriend. Wow, that makes me sound pretty retarded.

No dude..it sounds pretty normal to me, I mean it would be nice to have someone there for you who could give you a shove in the right direction.

Yeah, its a bummer I never had that.

[Azrael]

Mm. I feel unmotivated, and i think that's partly because I'm incredibly lazy...but also because I'm sort of sick running around playing silly games of love.
Lately i've been gettin more motivated by music and art, two things I really like, so I guess its just a matter of finding your true passions in life.

[Hillbilly Jim]

I go out and roll around with the hogs and I usually feel better.

[SonEric84]

Yeah, its a bummer I never had that.


Me either.

[punkpixie]

haha you just summed up exactly how I feel too.

[infamous_alias]

Yes.

HAHAHA, oh lord that's dripping with irony...

[LoserlyFirefly]

I think I'm lazy and unmotivated. I have to write 15 essays for my AP US History class which is due 4/29 and i've only written 1 so far and it was assigned about a month ago. I feel so unmotivated to do things now since i'm usually busy with other school work and when i'm actually finished I just don't feel like doing anything. I've tried to have my friend motivate me to write my essays by calling me up and just cursing me out about it but she didn't call.

[oldwirehands]

This thread doesn't really give much hope haha. That was one of the reasons I made it. No one has a solution? Are we all fucked?

[LoserlyFirefly]

Haha well my solution was have my friend cuss me out and scare me into writing my essays. Don't know if that would work. I think having someone scare the fucker out of you is good motivation.

[oldwirehands]

I'm not motivated enought to be scared hahaha. You think becoming completely homeless would be scary enough but I really just don't care. Nothing scares me anyway. I don't care if I'm alive or not so I can live without most fears.

[punklet2101]

HAHAHA, oh lord that's dripping with irony...
Haha oh yeah

[SonEric84]

I'm not motivated enought to be scared hahaha. You think becoming completely homeless would be scary enough but I really just don't care. Nothing scares me anyway. I don't care if I'm alive or not so I can live without most fears.

haha Exactly...it's pretty much like "oh well whatever happens.." I guess we are fucked.

[oldwirehands]

Dude, when we're homeless, we should start a street performing band. I could play acoustic guitar or buckets. I'm good at guitar... I never tried buckets but I think I could do it. We can put jolly ranchers in our hair and scream crazy lyrics. People would feel sorry for us.

I can totally relate to that. Right now, I'm forcing myself to care because I fucked up my life a lot already, and I'm trying to get it back on track. But it's hard when I just don't care at all and I'm doing this because I feel like I HAVE to, not because I want to.

Did that make any sense? yeah I didn't think so.

Me either.
awww, but you're such a nice person. and you're cute! it should be easy for you to find someone.

but I'm on the same boat.

haha Alright let's do it.

Thanks, you're pretty cute too. ;) But yeah...it's not as easy as you might think, blah.

[shut.the.door]

I'd like to tell you it is a stage that you'll grow out of. at least that's what happened to me. i think as you grow up your priorities change, as does your motivation.

Yeah that's how I feel...it's not that I want to it's more like I have to...it's like just going through the motions and it sucks.

[tylertherobot]

you should go to a psychologist.

not in an ass hole way

[SilverStar89]

I've gotten to a point where I've stopped caring about everything. Like in school, I'm becoming so lazy. And it's really not bothering me that I'm worse than usual. And with working I really don't want to do it anymore and I never feel like going. And when people piss me off it bothers me for all of a few minutes, but then I'm just like "Whatever". I dunno what's up with me lately. But I have a feeling this laziness is going to stick around until June or so when school is out.

[FinchBulldog2]

haha

[tylertherobot]

lol

[oldwirehands]

I should but I won't. Someone would have to make the appointment and drive me there because I just won't do it. I don't care enough to do it. I want to fix my motivation probroblem but I could really care less if it gets solved, which it won't because of my attitude towards it.

[FinchBulldog2]

Just start taking aderall.

[oldwirehands]

Just start taking aderall.

Well, I'm moving along faster than I thought. I'm moving out/being kicked out of my house tonight. I don't know where I'm going to go. I'm thinking of hitchiking to the west coast? I might stay local for awhile. Just until I get my tax refund check and take care of my credit card bill. This actually might be the best thing for me. I'm kind of stuck at home. Like a prison. Now I might actually be able to get out of my house and get a job.

Thinking about it, I'm still not motivated. I want to move but I'll end up staying here. Wow, I really am going to live on the streets. hahahaha You want to what bums do before they're homeless, going to music forums and myspace all day haha.
