Here's the 411 folks

I realise that compared to a load of people on here my troubles are fairly trivial but I honestly believe if I keep on the path I am going on, I will end up killing myself within a few years.

So I'm 20, male, UK uni student (BA History). I come from a rural background. I was up until about last year fairly content with this and my life at uni. I guess in a way I am privileged.

However recently I have become incredibly disillusioned with my life to the point where I go through periods of deep depression for days and weeks. What few things I did enjoy I can't anymore.

I lost all of my friends from school (mutual fault). I never felt very close to them, but it has rendered me very isolated. I can't connect with anyone at my uni. I dislike everyone at my uni. They are all boring, uninspired, like the uni's city.

It was on the back of this realisation last year I began to lose it through a series of changes.

Firstly, I made some friends online. I realised that they all had far more interesting lives than I did, despite some being in worse countries.

Secondly, I stayed at home for the entirety of the summer holidays (12 weeks) and realised it was incredibly bland now that I am an adult.

Thirdly, and this one is embarrassing so please don't laugh. I played the video game "Life is Strange" and realised that, in contrast to my drab teenage years, those sorts of people in that sort of environment (minus the magic shit) was what I had been subconsciously longing for. Even though it's dumb tumblr stuff.

The third point is sadly most important because while we all get a little sad when we finish a good video game, the sadness that came from that game is STILL with me now, worse. I can only describe it with that German word, sehnsucht.

I kind of want to move to America to escape how trapped I feel. I want to start afresh. But I don't think I can even do that, and I feel I am wasting my youth.

What do I need to make life worth living again?
>>
Do something while you're still young and it doesn't end your whole career
>>
I can relate to this so hard it feels like we are literally the same person

Even the part where a game reminded you of what you didn't have. Except instead of a game it's TV shows for me

The only reason I don't kill myself is because I want to experience anything before ending it all
>>
>>18179047
Good idea, I guess when you're at the bottom there's plenty of room for manoeuvre.

>>18179113
I'm glad you can relate.

I just want a fun and interesting life.

What makes it worse is that I've sought one out, but my environment makes it difficult if not impossible.

I just wanna do underage drinking and smoke weed and do young people things with people I love and care about in a place I care about
>>
>>18179141
>my environment makes it difficult if not impossible.
You just keep on making me relate

I can't leave my town any time soon and it literally has only a tiny bit over 2k people living in it. I know everyone my age and we have nothing in common so no friends. I wont have a life till I get out of here but I can't do that without finding a job and saving up tons of money

Basically stuck for long
>>
>>18179146
Yep. My home has ~200 people. The city my uni is in is much larger (200k), but the majority of people here are unskilled working class and middle aged or elderly. The students are... not my type.

I really want to get out of here. But as with you, I need a job (there are hardly any). I'd love to move to North America and I think I might take a working holiday in Canada, but these are vague plans that will only let me live there temporarily. The US is virtually impossible to move to for someone like me, though my dream is the Pacific Northwest.
>>
>>18179164
Man
I have always loved cold. Canada was on my mind too.

I want to move to a semi cold empty place in some mountains or forests and just enjoy the peace, but at the same time I'm contradicting myself.

I want to live with someone as I've been alone for so long. To feel some physical contact. I want friends to talk to and have fun with like in my TV shows, but here I am sitting listening to sad songs like if that has helped anyone
>>
>>18179170
Yeah, I know how you feel. I love the cold, as long as it's not too extreme. I have some distant family in Canada and they all seem happy.

I must say recently I've gone off the idea of being completely isolated. I'd like to move to a city like Seattle, Vancouver, etc. which has a good setting in nature and also a vibrant youth culture. But maybe when I'm older... I guess I can move to somewhere quieter.
>>
>>18179164

Why are they "not your type?"
>>
>>18179212
A large number are foreign students from the far east who are extremely focused on getting the degree and nothing else.

The rest have a certain attitude I'm not sure I can explain well. But they seem to alternate between getting blackout drunk and business-like working - and that's it.

I have a group project at the moment and I've tried properly socialising with all of my members. The girls (for example) of course have different personalities but they all seem set on one thing, going out to the club at night, and for the life of me I can't get any other aspect out of them. It's ok for them to like that, but it's not my thing. The guys are pretty similar.

I think in part my course attracts people who aren't especially passionate about it because it's seen as a path to good business jobs.

My flatmates again are all lovely people but we don't have anything in common. I have however got on pretty well with my flatmate's girlfriend (as bad as that sounds, lol). But that's it! After two years I've developed a vaguely ok relationship with one person, who I won't see next year and is only relatively close to me.
>>
>>18179170
Btw where are you from?
>>
>>18179540
Latvia
>>
>>18179603
Oh cool! I always thought Latvia sounded nice but obviously if you want to get out there must be something you don't like! Good luck to you
>>
>>18179695
It's not terrible, but it's not too great either

Everyone is leaving latvia in search for a better life and job

Maybe you should take a trip some place nice.Talk to people, and experience things.
>>
>>18179699
Understandable, I hope it goes well ;_;

>>18179705
Well yeah I try. I've been to some far away places. But ultimately I still have to stay here... for now... Maybe in the future I have more freedom.
>>
>>18179757
Hopefully happiness awaits both of us
>>
>>18179782
Hopefully! Good luck!
>>
I feel for you op. Same thing happened here and it feels as if my life has completely fallen apart over the past year. Im fucking sick of the people around me and count down the days until im out of here.
>>
>>18180231
Thanks. I hope we can both get out, and that things go well.
>>
>>18180374
Same to you Anon. Do you happen to hate everything around you? I've turned into an absolutely unbearable person recently. Just the other day I took an exam and right after leaving the classroom I looked up an answer and realized I had mixed up the answers to two questions and got irrationally upset. Went to my car and started screaming and almost tried to run some kid over. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me, I used to be the most chilled out stoner ever. Now there's so pent up rage inside of me and it's always over nothing. I don't even try and make new friends because just like everyone else the relationships never end up lasting, so I don't see the fucking point.
>>
>>18181238
Sorry to hear that. Sometimes I'm fairly "normal" and things don't really affect me, but when I'm in a bad mood I can get pretty unpleasant. I wouldn't say I have a great problem, though.
>>
>>18181238
Fuck, I know how you feel. I nearly screamed at a retarded child I was behind in a store line because her voice annoyed me. Most of the social interaction I have now is ranting at people online about how the world is going to shit or how I hate everyone who lives around me.

I'm the anon from yesterday
When I get in a bad mood it goes the other way

I completely shut myself in, I don't talk to anyone or even try to be near anyone.


What hurt was that one day when I wasn't in a bad mood, someone told me im actually depressive to be around, that it made them sad to talk to me
>>
>>18181538
That's more like me really.

Fortunately I hardly ever talk to people substantially afk except my family (who I hide my feelings from)
>>
>>18181743
I stopped trying to initiate conversations

Found myself slightly happier that way
But now everyone I knew might think im depressed

I wanted to ask, do you have any hobbies? Or am I the only one stuck doing only 1 thing-TV shows/occasional games. I can't find anything I enjoy. I'm too boring and unmotivated for anything
>>
>>18181820
Not especially... My subject kind of always has been my hobby. The societies at uni are mostly sports and employment-related things.

I mostly play computer games and talk with my online friends... I do mess around in inkscape and Photoshop a lot though.

My motivation is also very low.
>>
>>18182205
>>18181820
I would like to add I haven't been sat in my room all this time. I got pretty involved in societies last year (the one major political one mainly, and a few others). Met some people. But it didn't work. I couldn't connect with many of them and I couldn't make friends with any. I was just that extra guy.

Perhaps where you are it'll be different, I don't know.
