Lack of motivation.
Difficulty getting to places to do things.
Severe social anxiety and social interaction problems which make me hesitant and reluctant to engage with others .
Limited range of interests . The ones that I have can be done via the internet.
Even if I could get past 1 and 3 2 and 4 would always be problematic.
Yeah life can be tough. I suppose we just do the best we can.
Not right now, it can wait
lack of attention span
taking the easy way out
don’t like to repeat myself
can’t see no reason
5 could also be one I agree.
As long as you are content with yourself and the current status quo, it’s totally fine. Life is not a competition about whoever has more friends or gets more stuff done.
But if you feel unhappy in some way then never stop trying to change, if only at a snail’s pace. Self improvement is a lifelong endeavor and any small step forward can yield surprisingly strong satisfaction.
that’s very well said
how’d you get so smart?
Sorry but I don’t feel smart. I struggle in the social department too.
I just feel firemonkey puts unnecessary pressure on himself and feels like a failure just because alas some doctors have treated him with contempt and lack of empathy.
I think as much as we can say we are independent beings we are often affected by what we see as societal expectations.
I’m fairly happy living a low key life , but I sometimes wonder whether there is something really wrong with me for having little ambition. This could however be due to the influence of societal expectations . I find,maybe like some others here,I don’t do well with pressure and the stress it induces.
As for being a failure-yes I often feel that. The worst you can do is compare yourself to a moderately successful father. I think my father gets more in pension ,£50K+, than some here get in a year.
Have I done much of worth? Maybe helping out on forums when I can. Other than that the one that stands out is putting my late half aunt in touch with her father’s family. Small fry when you think of it.
Your contributions here especially in the news section are much appreciated. You have also posted interesting cooking recipes in recent months.
Thank you!
Are you content? Do you want more?
For the most part I’m content to drift along in my low key way. Some may call that a product of illness though. Be better at socially interacting when and if I have to would be one thing.
Hoping the best for you!
Sometimes people judge for me not doing much sometimes. Gosh it’s so hard to not let it affect me. I need to speak to my therapist about so much this week coming up.
I have the same problem with not doing much. It gets pretty bad for me sometimes.
Does your severe boredom seem to improve sometimes?
I fluctuate with boredom. It’s very much linked to what’s going on on the various forums I take part in.
Unfortunately when I get stressed I either overexert myself or just shut down. Today was a bad day, and when I got home I accomplished a lot, then the negatives set in and can’t even do dishes. I have a promo for a free grocery pickup in the am, don’t know if I could shop 
. Thanks for all of y’all sharing. I think the meds we are on can affect things, too. Edit, geez I didn’t make sense 
I’m retired on disability. I don’t do anything much, once in a while. It seems like a lot of trouble to face raging symptoms. But sometimes after a cup of tea I feel peace in the doing.
