Whoa, whoa whoa...this is the cheer up thread, not the go ahead and jump thread.

If you look at all the years ahead of you as just more potential misery, of course everything is going to seem shitty. It sounds like you're bored of the monotony of your life, and that's normal. You have to be proactive to get out of the rut, it doesn't just happen by itself.


Start deciding what you want to do with your life, aside from your career. Places you want to visit, things to do, etc. It doesn't have to necessarily be feasible right off the bat, but it gives you goals.

Even if you don't LOVE your job, that's why you have free time. If IT is your most likely future career, keep in mind that it's essentially needed everywhere, and you may find companies that would allow you to transfer around the country if you wanted a change of scenery. Whereever you wind up, you have your free time to pursue new hobbies, or your current ones, or whatever you want to do. There is a lot of potential, and life can go from shitty to great in months. It really can.

Unless you're a felon, very little is set in stone at this point in your life...try to be more glass half full about things....
Yeah that makes sense, but the car being fucked up is making it very hard to break the monotony in any way.

The only problem career-wise is I'm gonna be running off of certifications till I get experience in the IT world since I don't wanna do school anymore, I have 3 years of experience working as an IT assistant at my high school and the guy I worked for and learned from as a reference which will help but I get the feeling that still won't be enough.  3 years is a lot of experience for someone my age but I don't believe life will just let me get a job like that that I like without running through the college hamster wheel like everybody else, call me superstitious I guess, that's mostly why I'm annoyed is how it feels like things just conspired to suck all the time, especially with my car fucking up today.  I'm starting out at Geek Squad I think btw if they accept my app this time.

Still haven't been able to shake this shitty feeling all day, I just feel so rotten, I might feel better if the battery just suddenly started working again

What does it take to be consistently happy with life at age 20(I'm about to be in a month + 2 days)?  I'm just tired of everything, I can't help but feel like I'm probably going to have to some kind of IT job that I hate that won't pay shit and I'll be a work slave, and now my car is fucking up non-stop just because I probably fixed it wrong and that's the only thing that made me genuinely feel like I have a chance at life.  Then there's also the no girls situation too which always has me rotten unless I'm drunk/high and convince myself I can do it one day.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day from the car not starting but being young and broke and girl-less just sucks so much, is there any way to actually be happy and look forward to things in life at this age without being fucked up on something all the time?
If you're looking for consistent happiness and drugs/alcohol only bring you temporary happiness, you should probably look somewhere else.

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make any sense, but it also seems like that's what a lot of my peers are doing, I mean I enjoy it but I'm not going to let myself rely on it like they do

I do like IT stuff, I'm just worried it'll somehow suck anyway depending where I go, it also might not, we'll see.  If it's like it was when I did it at my high school for three years, then I'm sure I'll love it though

The car stuff is a work in progress, I got a few things figured out now and I feel a lot better today, I just gotta get a new battery which will then get it running(although with the rough idle) and then I'll just take it to somebody who can fix the idle instead of fucking around diagnosing it myself to try and save money when I can't figure it out.  I know I'll be a lot happier once it's running again and my dad also said he'll help pay for it too to get it running again so I can get job.

The girls thing kind of goes hand in hand with the car thing in my head, the availability and chances are heavily diminished without it, but when I have the car, I can at least keep telling myself there's a world out there full of possibilities, right now it's been feeling like I'm in prison in my house all the time, which is very heavily to do with why I felt so shitty

Get drunk. Have sex. Make sure you don't wake up next to the person you have sex with.

And then remember that a person as brainy and footsy as you could never be cornered into drinking their problems away.

Nah no sex. Just fun haha
I won't go drinking my problems away. I know it doesn't work that way. I'm just gonna go have some fun. I need it. To forget about things for a while, even if it's for a day. Need to relax and let go because i'm overthinking everyhing right now and my head is going to explode.
