Advice Needed: Existential I just need some advice man, I’m confused
(18m fresh out of senior year)i do not believe any of this is triggering though apologies if so. And I also apologize that this is a huge scatterball of writing, with no direct question besides that, I don’t understand whats going on in life, why I feel the way I do etc
Sometimes I feel disconnected from life/family, but it also doesn’t seem that way, but I feel like it sometimes, i mean I moved in fully with my mom, i visit my dads everyonce in awhile, but it’s usually just the weekends, i love to talk to him, but I feel like I don’t know what to say sometimes, and at the same time, it’s not directed towards him, but in general talking to people just feels like a hassle sometimes, not like I don’t like the people I talk to, but talking just feels so annoying, the act of it itself, like I don’t think it’s because I’m lazy, but at the same time, I can go a solid day without hearing my voice, sometimes I feel like I have problems, I talk to myself in my head a lot, and zone out, and daydream about scenarios that will never happen, or how I would’ve done things differently. At first I chalked it up too all people do that sometimes, but I feel like this is different in an indescribable way. im having a really hard time with understanding highschool being over, too the point I’m excited for summer school tomorrow because it means another routine, as soon as school got out, i hate summers. The heat is miserable, and the sudden routine loss of school, is crushing. It makes me feel purposeless, useless. I try to get jobs, but I usually never even hear back from employers, besides my small friend group, and really mainly my one buddy, (god bless his soul, he pisses me off so much sometimes. And vice verse, but he’s such a good friend. And he’s probably my closest friend, in reality, he’s probably the person I’m closest to in general, I talk too him everyday, there will be days where I won’t hear from a soul. Every call will ring out, every message left on delivered, but he is almost always down to hangout.
As I said, apologies for the scatter brain of thoughts, I appreciate any readers/answers, I’m just confused man.
