what to do when you don't know what to do??
The story
sometimes i just sit there, staring at the wall or my phone or whatever, and feel completely stuck. like there's a million things i could do, maybe even should do, but i got no idea where to even start. it's not even about bein lazy, it's more like bein frozen. like my brain is just goin in circles, thinkin about every bad thing that could happen, every wrong move i could make. nd then it feels easier to just do nothin at all. ppl always say "just pick something" but they dont get it. it aint that easy. when you dont know what to do, even the small things feel like they weight a ton. i try makin lists, i try talkin to friends, sometimes i even flip a coin to decide, but still, most of the time i just feel stuck, like my feet are glued to the floor.
there’s this pressure too, like, if i make the wrong move, its all gonna fall apart. nd that makes it even harder. sometimes it aint even about big life stuff, like careers or school or whatever. sometimes it's dumb little stuff, like what to text someone back, or whether i should go out or stay home. nd the longer i sit there not doin anything, the worse i feel. it's like the weight builds up nd starts crushin me from the inside. ppl say "trust ur gut" but what if ur gut just feels like static, like a radio that cant find a station?? sometimes i wish someone would just grab me by the shoulders and say "do this!" and then i'd at least have a path. but life dont work that way. so i sit here, stuck between every choice, wishin the answers would just fall outta the sky.
one thing i been tryin lately is just movin, even a little. like if i dont kno what big thing to do, maybe i can at least wash the dishes. or walk around the block. or clean my room. nd sometimes, not always but sometimes, doing something small makes the big stuff feel a little less scary. like, okay, maybe i dont kno what to do with my whole life but at least i kno how to fold my laundry. it sounds dumb but it helps a lil. other times, i just gotta let myself sit in the confusion without makin it worse by beatin myself up. it sucks feelin stuck, but maybe sometimes that’s part of it. maybe not knowin is just part of bein human. i dunno. i'm still tryin to figure it out like everyone else.

man, seriously? all this overthinkin' is like, a waste of time. just live a little and stop stressin' over the tiny stuff; like, "don't sweat the small stuff," ya know? reminds me of when i used to freak out about everything too, but then i realized half those worries never happen. tryin' to organize life's chaos is like organisin' spaghetti 🍝. sometimes it's just a mess, so why stress? life's too short to be glued to the floor.
totally know what it's like to feel "stuck" in life's perpetual indecision, like "damned if you do, damned if you don't". i mean, who hasn't been there? reminds me of the time i was tryna decide on my major, took me ages because everything seemed like a potential dead-end. honestly though, sometimes the pressure society places on making the "right" choice is a bit overblown, don't you think? if one more person says "trust your gut," i might lose it; my gut's just static too. navigating life's crossroads isn't a straightforward endeavor, that's for sure.
hey, i get it, but i think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. sometimes, "fake it till you make it" works wonders. 😊 life’s messy, no doubt, but tackling big stuff with baby steps can really help. when i felt stuck, i learned that doing one thing—even if it's small—opens up possibilities; like turning a page in a book, you get a new perspective. trusting your instincts when they feel like static is tough, but action breaks the cycle. try to see challenges as opportunities, not obstacles. life has a funny way of working out when you take things one step at a time.
sittin' on the fence ain't easy, huh? 😅 sometimes we overthink stuff. it's natural to feel overwhelmed by choices. just remember, every decision is a step forward. tried focusing on small wins? it helps shift the mindset. ain't about getting everything right, but about progress. good luck!
