I Hate My Life

Dismal Pretty Much Sums Up My Life... I am ashamed to admit it, but I really do hate my life. I have missed out on so many essential life experiences that the vast majority of other people seem to take for granted that I find it too humiliating to talk about. I want it to end, but I am too afraid to do it. One of the best times of the day is when I go to sleep as I can block everything out...but sleep never seems to last very long before it's morning, and I have no choice but to confront reality once again. I honestly wish that I hadn't been born, it has almost been a complete waste of time...I have achieved nothing, and all it has resulted in is me being so unhappy and lonely. I often daydream, not about being filthy rich, or driving a Ferrari, or possessing some amazing superhuman powers etc., but just being a regular person. I dream that I am a moderately successful person in a career that I enjoy, that I am still in my early/mid 20's and on the cusp of a promising life, that I am financially comfortable, and that I have a small group of true friends, and that I am in a loving relationship.

On the subject of relationships, I have never had one (at least, not a proper one). In all honesty, the real reason for this is because I have been held back due to the complications arising from my screwed-up life rather than anything such as physical appearance etc. As I am so humiliated by by mediocre circumstances, it would be impossible for me to contemplate having a serious and loving relationship with a woman. And then, this summer, something happened to me that I never thought would happen again. I fell in love. It is rather complicated to go into details about it, but it is not possible to be with her at the moment. Her name is Samantha and she is my soulmate...I love her so much and I desperately want to be with her.

I now understand that I will never be able to resolve these issues plaguing my life. In fact, it was only a couple of years ago when it finally occurred to me that I never stood a decent chance of making it in life because of family issues - or to be more accurate, the malignancy and selfishness of certain family members - that would have disastrous repercussions on my adulthood development, which I could not have foreseen (and taken action against) when I was just a child. There were times when I was younger when I genuinely believed my life would change for the better, and during 2001 it seemed to be coming true...but now I know it was only ever going to end in failure. It was merely a peak rather than marking the start of a bright new beginning. Then it all began to unravel, with the following years proving to be some of the most unpleasant in my life. Over a decade later, and I am back to square one i.e with no life and friendless - the few people that I thought were friends are long gone, almost all of them having betrayed the friendship I had invested in them.

I feel guilt because my mother has done everything possible to make my life happy...she has been the only source of love and positivity in my whole life, and she is the only person I have that I know I can count on and trust...she is the only person that I can call a true friend. If she knew how I really felt, it would break her heart. Life has been terrible to her...but she gave me the best childhood possible under difficult circumstances, so I think it is incumbent upon me to stay strong for her sake. Her other two children have been truly vile towards her, but if I did anything to myself I believe that would be the biggest betrayal of all. Doing something to myself at present would be like throwing everything she has done back in her face. And what has happened to me is not her fault. But for all that, the harsh reality is this : a person has been brought into the world, only to be set up for failure.

I came across this post by utter coincidence. I googled the word "dismal" because i did not know the precise definition. I saw the title of your post and it grabbed my attention immediately. It made me sad to read not only the title, but the content. I see that you haven't replied to your latest comment. You also haven't posted on this thread since 2013. I hope you see my response. I just want to tell you that you were not created to simply be engulfed by your saddness and failure. You were not created to skim through this life with apathy and resentment. You were created for a very specific reason. There is so much beauty in you that you cannot see. There is purpose in your life and in your being. This isn't the first time someone has told you about Jesus Christ. However, i hope this is a time that you will take hold of the love, grace and joy that is Jesus Christ. Search for him.. you will be free of all your pain. There is a new life waiting for you. He loves you deerly. He is jealous for you. He wants you very badly. He wants you to experience the love, peace and joy that he will provide for you. You may have tried to go to God before. Or maybe you are turned off by him. This post could be turning you off of him right now. I just want you to know that i created this account solely to say these words to you. God asked me to reach out to you and tell you of his love for you. I don't even know the purpose or function of this website. I just know that i want you to feel peace and joy. Please think about my words. Please. God bless.

Forgive me friend if this sounds as though I am simplifying your feelings right now, but I think a great start to getting back into feeling positive again, is by taking up a string of activities/hobbies that make you feel good and spark confidence in you.

It sounds as if all of these recent experiences have knocked your confidence in yourself, so I don't think it would be a bad idea to do some things that you are good at, or have a deep interest in, that way you can be reminded of the things which you are great at doing and that will bring reassurance back that you ARE in fact stronger and better than all of negative experiences, and that you are capable of doing and learning many things (which is an inspirational trait to have).

If the above doesn't quite fit, then why not try shutting out the noise, and simply taking a break away from your stress-inducing surroundings. Being away from the negativity will be a great way to clear your head and help you look at life from a different perspective.

Remember, you CAN triumph over any of these situations and live a life you want WITHOUT the daydreaming/fantasising my friend! But you must take positive action! Go out and reclaim your life.

This is what happened to me to.
Genius IQ, people person, good at sport. But due to being constantly abused every night after school I was unable to complete my homework or focus on any of my other hobbies. Wasn't allowed to stay out. If I came home, it was to simply survive the night, rather than the usual teenage friends and homework... I was ruined, completely...The only vengeance I'll ever have is not showing up to the bastard's (my 'father') funeral. If I do, I will probably spit on his body and pray for him to burn in Hell.
Doesn't it make you angry for other people to completely ruin your life by interfering in it when they had no right to do so whatsoever
Hi SGSG. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and sending a reply. One thing I will promise - I will do the best to make the most of what I have in whatever time I have left :)
