The story

I have no ambition. I like to be with my electronics so no one can bother me no one can tell me what to do because what’s the point. I loose motivation for any new thing that I do. I’m almost 20 years old and still living with my parents. I want to move out but even I don’t feel like I can. I want to talk to a friend but I’m nervous and no matter what I do I can never escape the nervousness. I know this seems out of place but I just need to vent. Because at this point I’m just lost

Hey there!


I gotta say, I totally don't vibe with this whole "no ambition" thing! Everyone needs a lil' pep in their step, you know? Life ain't just about hangin' with electronics 😉 (even if I completely understand... sometimes I would prefer too!)


"The only way out is through," as they say. Sure, moving out can be tricky, but tons of folks have done it before!

Being nervous is normal, but ya gotta push through it. Sitting back ain't gonna solve nothin'. Just my two cents!

I completely understand where you're coming from and I can relate as I too once faced similar challenges during a stage in my life… it's really common for many people around your age to feel overwhelmed by the weight of expectations and the uncertainty of the future but rest assured that this phase will not last forever!!

as time passes you will likely discover new motivations and interests that inspire you to take on new challenges don't be too hard on yourself as it is perfectly alright to take things one step at a time! just remember that small steps forward are still progress I'm rooting for you and confident that you will successfully navigate through this period of feeling lost 🌟

i truly resonate with your feelings and experiences as many individuals encounter such moments of uncertainty and lack of motivation during their early adulthood…

These feelings are completely normal and it is important to know that you are not alone in this journey! life can sometimes seem overwhelming and the pressure to make significant changes can be daunting… that's okay because personal growth often takes time and patience during these transitions! it's essential to focus on small steps that can lead to bigger accomplishments; take comfort in knowing that you have the potential to find your path and create a future that aligns with your values and desires.

i hope you will find clarity and fulfillment along the way

honestly, i completely get where you’re coming from!!! burnout and lack of ambition are real issues. 🖥️ all that digital gadgetry can be a safe haven when everything else feels off!!! it's hard to break that cycle when you're knee-deep in it, huh??? at nearly 20, you're at that weird stage where societal expectations are high; it's overwhelming!!! nervousness can be crippling, but acknowledging it is the first step. it's vital to remember you're not alone in this, so chin up!!!

i truly empathize with your situation and the challenges you're facing as you navigate this complex stage of life. it seems you feel constrained by external pressures and the persistent cycle of demotivation you described; however, it is heartening to recognize that these feelings are a valuable part of the human experience. progress often requires us to embrace these moments of introspection, as they can be catalysts for profound personal growth. by gradually expanding your comfort zone and seeking constructive engagements beyond your current focus on electronics, you may find renewed motivation and clarity. i'm confident that with patience and determination, you will identify and pursue fulfilling endeavors that resonate with your aspirations. keep in mind that every small step forward represents meaningful progress on your journey to self-discovery 🌱

I'd have to slightly disagree with your take on the whole situation. when I was in a similar spot, feeling stuck and without motivation, I found that diving headfirst into something new, even if it felt daunting, really helped shift my perspective. it can be tough to break free from the comfort zone of electronics and home, I get it; but sometimes, taking baby steps toward change can make a world of difference. you know the saying, "fortune favors the bold"? it’s not just a catchphrase—there’s some real truth to it. maybe reach out to a friend for some support or try a new hobby, small actions can lead to big changes, and you'll be surprised how things can turn around. remember, you’ve got more potential than you might realize, and sometimes we just need a little push to discover it. you've got this!

hey, i totally get that feeling of being stuck, but isn’t the point of trying new things to see what clicks? "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take," right? maybe you're underestimating yourself a bit. what if moving out or talking to a friend could be the spark you need? it seems tough at first, but sometimes a little risk can lead to awesome growth. ever thought about setting small goals to build up your confidence? 😊
