A huge thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting my channel! Here’s the site if you'd be interested in simplifying your pocket game 😉 > https://www.ridge.com/SISYPHUS
It's been rough, this 20's situation, feel so lost al the time, might quit college, do art and starve or finish my degree and starve, i could keep woking at the same job for the next 5 years or say screw everything and become a hippie and live in the wid (id die) i could learn how to make ferments and sell them or i could become an english teacher who knows, so many possible paths, maybe i just need a break
﴿أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ﴾ [ المؤمنون: 115] Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?" ﴿فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ﴾ [ المؤمنون: 116] So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. ﴿وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ﴾ [ المؤمنون: 117] And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof – then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed. ﴿وَقُل رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ﴾ [ المؤمنون: 118] And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful." Surah Al-Muminun
I have no idea how I'm lost in life. I'm only 13 gonna be 14 and I've been lost since I was around 9 or 10 but I suppressed those emotions but now they're all coming out. I have no idea where to go, what to do, how to live, how to be happy without lying to myself, I just don't know what to do anymore. I was doing fine earlier but all this just came out after me bottling it up since 6th grade. I'm going in to highschool so I have a future and things to look forward to but I am still lost. I don't know what to do with anything anymore. I am back being depressed and lost.
18 and going off to college soon, I’m not sure if it’s what I want or what my paths going to be in the future and I feel very lost. Thank you for the video
Thanks a lot for the comforting video. It made me feel at peace, it was like a warm sunny day. For now I'll try to have faith and courage in life, and maybe one day everything will be fine. 🙂 good luck to us all
im turning 15 this year. i finally realized just how much people want me to change. i am nowhere near finding who i want to be, and its so much harder when im not allowed. i just dont know what to do. its been a cycle of "fuck it we ball" until the rot.
going to be 24 soon, mentally disabled and may have to live with family for the rest of my life( that part im fine with). not sure if i sure go to trade school or college. one part of me wants to try to off the grid or van life, not likely to happen. With ai taking jobs, i may go to the trade but part of me wants to become a novelist and write books even if i don't do it. I"ve been lost for most of my life. i think i'll go to trades and take up writing as a hobby. let's hope i can find something. best of luck to you as well.
tbh (i'm 21, audhd, cptsd) just pick a damn direction and walk in it. delete social media. make your life as deeply pleasurable and tactile as possible.
I'm almost 21. Dropped out of college after a few weeks and now I just work part time and dread "free time." I have no clue what to do with my life career wise and I just feel entirely unprepared for adulthood which I'm technically already in.
The problem here is capitalism and that few careers even pay livable wages. In the past you were able to support a family working at a gas station, now you gotta be a nurse or some other high paying career to even make it. Not everyone has the means or the ability to graduate college and college is a rigged system. The best advice for people who aren’t over the top ambitious is to learn how to start a solo business or something like that so that you aren’t reliant on a 9-5 to make other people rich while you get just enough to come back for more. The government needs to step in and do more for the working class instead of us having to fight each other for crumbs. Corporations have successfully turned the most gullible and easily manipulated of us into corporate bootlickers and turned them against the working class. This approach of just “do something and try” is as old as time and any boomer would tell you that advice. That view is far too simplistic and ignorant. You can spend your whole life trying and still never achieve anything
(Disclaimer: This is exclusively from my perspective and life experiences). I think a lack of adequate parenting is a major contributing factor to many people feeling lost in life. Parents nowadays (at least mine) have no idea how to guide and mentor their children. No longer are mothers and fathers taking their kids under their wings and helping them to develop life skills, but simply relying on less than adequate systems like schools and au pairs and nannies to do that for them, resulting in people who can recite the quadratic formula on command but have no idea what they like, dislike, or want out of their life.
I turned 26 today and even though I'm having a decent job, I'm having too many problems on emotional, family and professional levels and just want to quit everything or die.
I am trapped in the lost in the ocean phase and sad that now that I am 40 I experienced decades of depressive feelings which got worse over the years making me mentally seriously sick. Looking into the life of others I now compare myself and see how lonley and lost I am.
I was a musical child prodigy, left school 2 years early to go to a music conservatoire, I struggled to keep focused because I was always thinking what if? But everyone told me I have a gift for music so I stuck to it. Don't get me wrong I love being a musician, but I sometimes feel stressed thinking maybe I should've tried linguistics, or anthropology, or ballet!? I see intelligent, successful people online doing incredible things and I feel embarrassed I'm "just a musician" sometimes, almost like I took my easy way in life and didn't try hard enough or something.. But maybe it's just insecurity from my unprocessed childhood trauma.. 😅 who knows..
A lot of people say they were around 18-20 when they felt this but i feel like this right now at age 14, and people always tell me to enjoy it cuz it's not something i should worry about right now, but i always feel like i should be making some kind of structure to where i want to go, except i don't know where i want to go and what my interests are. In high school, i plan to try out many clubs to find out things i like, at least that was the plan. I was nervous about trying new things and i want to open up and finally get out of my shell.
It seems like all of the videos you make, even if targeted towards specific audiences who are typically older and have more experience, seem to relate to me and I'm so glad I can understand what you're saying when you explain things because I've thought about similar things again and again and I've never been able to explain it quite well when I want to share how i feel and my experience with others. I really like to talk about these types of things to people but people my age aren't worried about that and are busy with their own lives/not interested about the topic. Thank you for these videos, i really enjoy the 2nd hand knowledge from someone else besides myself!
😀 so thank you!
(Just realized this video was uploaded TWO YEARS AGO… that's crazy)
I personally have a very vivid memory of being at a lake and swimming out to the center of it. Once I got there a feeling flowed through me that I have not felt since. It was like I was literally in this ocean, with no land in sight, nowhere to swim towards. I thought panic would obviously be the wrong choice and instead decided to just embrace the abyss without fear of drowning. I sank to the bottom only to find it was maybe a couple feet below me. I have been very lucky in life to have not been homeless or hungry, but neither have been out of sight for me either. By accepting the possibility of non existence I feel my situation to be extremely fortunate, and I know that even if no boat comes to rescue me I will be comfortable with becoming part of the ocean floor.
If you read this I hope you can find comfort in your own abyss. Good luck

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
﴿وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ﴾ [ المؤمنون: 117]

I think no one knows the difference between 'lost' and 'depressed'.
Lost is where you want to go somewhere but don't know what to do
Depression is where you know where to go but didn't want to.
