My life is pathetic.

I have absolutely no luck at all, I can think of NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING good, or decent, that has ever happened in my earthy life.

So I went to school, got some decent grades, then I went to college and did what I got my best grades in, and ultimately enjoyed the most; Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I brushed off the opinions of others that said only talented people could go far with, obviously I was too ignorant and they were right; you have to be academically gifted to pass those types of exams at A level (IMO), you either have the ability to understand it or you don‘t. I lost interest in college and left, without the thought of studying other subjects which I class as a waste of time, ‘media studies‘, ‘law‘, ‘psychology‘.. total BULL $HIT.

So, time to find work.

Unfortunately for myself, I failed my driving test 5 times, to the point where I gave up, my theory test also expired, I gave up on the whole thing, even though I'm better than the average driver,. ‘SO KID, TOO BAD YOU CANT EVEN PASS A DRIVING TEST.. ! but where I live, I am miles from most places, so a car was a necessity .. the logical idea was to concentrate getting work close to home until I had a car to travel to a place of work, I applied to places that interested me, did psychometric tests, went to an interview, obviously with my luck - to no avail.

Then yesterday, I was out in town and saw a place recruiting for summer work.
I took the number and phoned them this morning …….. ‘oh sorry, all the jobs are gone’, that’s god-knows how many placements taken in the space of less than 24 hours .. then my dad tells me to get out of the house as I don’t have a job, we almost come to fisticuffs.

Did I tell you I was unlucky?

NO job, NO girlfriend, NO car, NO money, NO where to live, no point in life; no of point of living.

Do people have the right to tell me I don’t have the right to be suicidal?
My life's pathetic. :frown:

That bit sounds like me. :rolleyes:
If you give up though, you have only yourself to blame. Theres endless possiblities out there.

And Law is a real subject! :eek: It helped me get into UCL anyway...

No you don't have the right to feel suicidal...you're being selfish but you probably already know that.

Many people do this so-called búllshit - búllshit to you isn't búllshit to others...and some of this 'bullshit' is very significant and has important implications - you may not have a girlfriend or that life is going to plan because you are seemingly rather parochial, narrow and yes, ignorant.

As for your own opinion that you are above average in your standard of driving...do you know this from experience?! Have you driven in a car by yourself? I don't think failing the test 5 times is indicative of a current learner driver that is avove average....there's only a certain handful of times when an excuse of bad luck with the examiner could be justified.

Feel suicidal? A family friend of mine (22 yr old bloke) has just had his entire left leg amputated from the hip down....this from cancer, and some hip out that was cancerous. He was sporty but as a result of cancer developing and spreading over the last 24 months, without diminishing through therapies and the alike...he now has just one leg, now looking for a false one but even then this may not work...unsure whether he could operate the weight of a whole false leg...he may well be completely confined to a wheelchair. There's far worse situations that yours - its quite pathetic listening to your rant.

That is unfortunate, but I bet his life is better than mine.

i suggest you read a book called "The Luck Factor". we make our own luck - take responsibility for your own actions and life and do something about it. You can't blame anybody else for your situation.

one thing that does confuse me - what on earth makes you think you are better than the average driver? if you haven't passed your test you must be doing something wrong!

go and sign on at a temping agency and get some work to tide you over. you'll get some experience and will be able to get some references from that. you cna apply for more permanent jobs while you're diong it but it will get you some cash so you can sort things out with your dad.

save up and take your theory and get some more driving lessons and your test.

stop going on about not having a girlfriend for goodness sake! that attitude doesn't help! just do things you like doing and as soon as you stop thinking abotu it you'll meet the right girl.

cheer up though, noone likes a miserable git.

actually, if we're honest, in his situation everything could still get worse, because it really isn't that bad at the moment!

Ditto.

The guy is hardly suicidal. He just needs a girlfriend.

You earn your own money, you get yourself a good job, so that you can get a car.

When it comes to luck, you make your own.

I have a friend who left school after GCSE's, tried college, left, and did a load of old **** working for pubs etc. Now hes customer service manager of RBS and is working his way up. Get off your ass and apply for a bank job, it can only go up from there.

When I read this comment I actually laughed in disbelief that someone could be so ridiculous.

Anyway, what exactly is your aim when you come on here? Do you want advice on how to improve things/get your life back on the right tracks etc? If that is the case, then maybe you should phrase your opening post differently, and people would be more willing to help you.

Somehow, I suspect this isn't what you're after. Rather, you are looking for sympathy when, to be honest, you don't really deserve any.

Okay lets not be too arsey.
The guy has made himself look like a prat, i think we've already established that!
After one post, we hardly have a strong base to start making these assumptions on someone. Lets wait for his reponse...

Maybe we should go to a deprived area and get some kids from there to give him some advice, maybe they can compete to see who has the worst life

Reply 18

wow you guys are nice...

Don't get me wrong, I already gave some advice 10 minutes ago, but too tempting. You got any advice then?
