Do you know what you actually want? I don't

Other than money :moneybag:. We all want that I guess.

I think I’m confusing what society expects me to want with what I actually want.

Like a girlfriend. Society expects me to have one or at least want one. I don’t think I want one.

The list goes on. I’ve no idea what would make me happy.

I want anything to do with the success and happiness of my children. That’s all I need.

I think it’s better to start with appreciating what you already have and build on that. If you have good relatives or a good friend that’s probably some of the most important things. If you get a good night sleep once in awhile that’s something to start with too. Beyond health and relationships most of the other stuff is fluff people can do without.

I want money, definitely, of course. So, that out of the way, I don’t want any gf, I want a particular woman. And it looks like I can’t have her. So, I don’t want anybody then. That said. I have everything I want except piano playing talent. I want that. But, that is up to G-d.

This thread is like a bit of self therapy for me. I’m sure my problem is basically me feeling pressured by society to want certain things. With the result I’m not sure what I want.

to be able to succeed in losing weight and then I would be happy my health is slowly declining because of my weight. If I could succeed with that then all other things I want would fall into place.

Losing weight is a great thing to want. I’m currently losing weight with a calorie controlled diet.

But I’m just doing it for health reasons. Almost because I have to. Not because I want to or that my life will change after I’ve lost weight. So I don’t even “want” that. I’m just doing it because I feel I have to.

I’m the same way.
I’m trying to lose weight for health reasons.

I don’t really want anything.
Well maybe I want to feel at peace and safe.

I want my life to be more like it was before I got sick. I am slowly working on this.
I finally applied to access vr( a work assistance program) and met with someone at a courthouse. I hope to get my foot in the door and start the path to a long term job. I can’t do alot of hours at once but I am slowly hoping to build myself up so I can handle more hours. Wish me luck!

I’m torn between becoming a game developer or a psychiatrist. My regimen is working well enough that my voices are dead silent most of the time (particularly the Piracetam), and I want to share that with other sufferers.

For the time being I’m getting into indie game development since it doesn’t require me to be around people all the time, and it is a creative outlet, but if my agoraphobia is resolved and I can go to college and at least try for med school, I’ll do that.

A lifetime supply of restaurant quality nachos wouldn’t be a bad thing. Trade that guac for some extra sour cream please!

@Priscillame best of luck

@Snail you mean like zombies or they came back as they were in life like at the age of 20?

@everhopeful good question! a regular job (regular for me), small house, not living with my condition and people being a lil more happier than they are in today’s world so things aren’t so hectic and worked up all the time.

i’m into chaos and going fast even though i’m a simple, slow and quiet guy but it seems to me people are in a huge hurry to go nowhere fast so they create unnecessary expectations. i could be wrong. :upside_down_face:
