Getting older, losing enthusiasm, feeling vaguely uninspired, bitter even

As title says. 26 now :frown:

wasted time before that, in mundane working routine now with dreams and enjoyment vanishing

Feel a shadow of my former self(*violins*)

Aww, poor kid. Just remember being bitter and unenthusiastic has been made hip by Hugh Laurie on the television series House. As a result, you just need to start walking with a limp and permanent 5 o'clock shadow, and you should be good to go.

Get the hell out of there and have your mid life crisis NOW! If i were you, id sell everything, move out of england, go to somewhere like china and live and do what you want. Get it out of your system. Do what you want, not what you think you need to do. Live every day like its your last etc...

Pointless comment, perhaps, but I always assumed naivesincerity was 22, tops.

At this moment in time, i can completely empathise. I'm 22 but i like to think that things will be totally different come September/October this year.

"Time passing you by" and all that jazz. It's discerning.

Just dismiss your age, figures are a horrible thing. I try to forget just how old I am. You start making yourself go crazy, i.e. "i was expecting to be in a well-paid, challenging graduate position by April of last year, this hasn't yet materialized, yikes :eek:

" I think it's crazy to routinize things, things happen when they happen and for a reason. It's fate. :biggrin:

Or so my mother says.

Well, at least you appear to have had the honeymoon period until the age of 26. I had my philosophical awakening at about 13 and haven't looked forward since.

All my aunties and uncles have snuffed it from cancer by the age of 55.

My dad's 56 this year and he's the only one left of himself and 5 siblings. 2 of them were younger than him too.

And it's always bowel cancer. It frightens me to death, anyway, I'm middle aged too! :frown:

I feel like that and I'm 17. I am known in all the pubs now that don't ID as I sit there with other equally uninspired bitter people moaning. I have no point.

It's all very apathetic actually.
