Since we're on the 'student' room, I feel like this is appropriate to ask.
Does anyone who has graduated from uni or gone straight from school/college into work find that they're been conditioned to prefer rigid structure and progression?
I feel like I can't cope 'on the outside' aka, outside of an educational environment.
As hard as university was, at least I had things to aim towards and tasks that felt important. Now as a graduate in the 'real world', I feel there is nothing to work towards. As crazy as it sounds, I'd rather be revising for exams.
I just can't feel a sense of purpose in the 'real' world. If the think I'm supposed to be aiming towards now is money, then it all seems rather meaningless.
I think many people have that problem. Our lives are conditioned towards educational progress with constant tests and examinations, so by the time we come out of uni, you're just like, 'what is the purpose of life?'
Yeah I suppose so, its just hard without support. I'm not use to going to places with my own will..
It is def easier to do it with support but if your parents aren't taking you seriously, you'll just have to go it alone. Or get a supportive friend to go with you, maybe?
he doesn't do it on purpose. I think. Or at least he thinks its good for me. Basically, he wants me to undergo a therapy cause if I can become mentally stable I will be his dreamt girl (which is the main reason why I wanna go on therapy). But by questioning my every choice and laughing at it, he wont help me in increasing my self esteem
I dunno, still sounds like a knob to me, tbh He should want you to undergo therapy because it will help you, not because you'll suddenly become his perfect girl
