    yeah no point in goin unreg so here goes...

    i've become so apathetic towards everythin and i dunno why. like i'm an average girl, average looks, average intelligence, average family, average friends, average boyfriend. things are just all too normal, i get bored so easily and i always need new and excitin stuff to happen, now i know life cant be like that all the time so why cant i be content as i am? i dont think ive ever truly been happy, not for long periods of time anyway.

    anyone else feel the same?
    or am i just bein overdramatic?

    oh and sorry for bad grammar like i just wasnt bothered tbh.

    Change of scenery might do you the world of good, experience something new and other cultures.

    Best advice for that, without doubt. If e.g., you find your friends average, make some new ones and do new things. There are so many people around in Dublin from basically everywhere, you just need to branch out a little.

    Travel is a good thing, and definitely broadens the mind. Get out of europe and see interact with other people and cultures, e.g., go to Sharm el-Sheikh or Marrakech or something. So much weird and wonderful stuff exists, give yourself a bit of a push.

    Basically travel, anywhere really. It will give you stuff to think about that you didn't before.

    Do some voluntary work with the homeless; it may be a lack of appreciation of what you have that you are suffering from.

    Get a job in a bar. That will be interesting. Dump the boyfriend, get a new one. Make some new friends who are nothing like your old ones. Find a exciting hobby like extreme mountain biking. Do things you have never done before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,240 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Get a part time job in somewhere like xtravision, Dunnes, Tesco etc. They don't care about your past work experience and, if worst comes to the worst, you can always doctor your CV. The pay is **** but it will give you some financial freedom.

    Everybody feels like this, OP - it's normal. As for Chumps, er, advice :) about the affair, well, don't. Do something positive and constructive.

    'Average boyfriend'... if you don't think the person is amazing, why on earth are you going out with him???? I'd never call my boyfriend 'average' (well he's not)... surely you'd be looking for someone that you would think is 'above average'... I suppose it depends.. I'm rather picky when it comes to boyfriends etc... I'd never settle for 'average'...

    get a new boyfriend? aye that might be a start, or maybe just enjoy single life. at least then you have no one to answer too and no one to hurt. go with who you want when you want (as long as u keep it safe). getting a job in a bar is quiete a good idea, nice for talent shopping lol

    OP not having money is an issue. Get some somehow, job, borrow, or maybe even beg.

    well it always starts out that i think my boyfriends are amazing but after a while i get bored with them. i know thats terrible but i'm just being honest. i tend to ruin my relationships by letting something really small get to me, or picking fights over nothing, cause even though i know its wrong i seem to want to make guys fight for me to prove they really care about me. anyway thats another issue altogether...

    so anyone know of anywhere i could get a handy job, ive tried loadsa places


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,240 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Mercy, I'm beginning to feel sorry for your boyfriend :D

    Go for a job in any of the multiples: Tescoe, Dunnes, Superquinn. They have a high staff turnover and, as such, are constantly crying out for students and people to work non-standard hours. I had the misfortune of working at the deli counter in dunnes (horrible company to be employed with bar a few months). The grease, ugh! Go for a shopfloor job and you'll be away!

    Do what you can to scrape a few quid together as mentioned, even if its a part time job you don't and probably won't like a whole lot. You'd be suprised how far a cheapish Ryanair flight will get you and a hostel somewhere. :) Best of luck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 clearlyabeastst


    oh sh1t im makin myself sound like a terrible girlfriend! well im not like im just really insecure and ive low self esteem...but im workin on it!
    as for the job thing yeah i have been lookin but now im really gonna go about gettin one, thanks again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,006 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    'I feel almost the exact same as you OP altho my situation is slightly different in that I'm still in uni but I just feel like its the same mundane routine over and over again, I'm not sure if everyone feels like this in university but if I'm supposed to consider THESE the best days of my life its hardly going to get better....I'm considering just getting out, moving country I'm work scrape a few euro together and get a cheap flight like some previously suggested, just keep on going anywhere it takes me...'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Kell


    well im not like im just really insecure and ive low self esteem...but im workin on it!

    Hammer, nail, head.

    Your apathy will continue unless you get this little thing sorted out. How can you expect to get excited about stuff unless you are prepared to put yourself out there into the middle of everything?

    You said in your first post that you always need new and exciting things to happen. You sound like you are waiting for them to happen to you as opposed to you making them happen.

    When it comes to confidence and esteem building, theres a simple rule- feel the abject panic and do it anyway. Once you start putting yourself out there and being available, things might just happen. They wont if you dont have the nerve to be somewhere at the right time.

    I hate hearing bollocks like this, at least you have a good relationship.
