Okay, I know most of us are only students but if you could use your knowledge to help me I'd be much obliged. Anway, I'm a pretty intelligent person- or so I like to think- but the problem is my total lack of motivation. I just can't be bothered to do anything- revise, exersize, make friends, you name it... I also give up very easily and have a fear of failure. In my view, it is better not to try than to try and fail. Whatever happens, I never fail to see the bad side of things and moan all the time. It's the general veiw that I'm a pessamistic, sarky jerk with no manners and no friends. A nerd. A freak. I don't really care what others think, but this is getting in the way of my schoolwork and dream to go to University to study Psychology and Forensics. I want to be a person who can do well in exams and all that, but not change too much. I kinda like being a jerk. But I digress. Could anyone give me some advice?
hey tyler. basically uv just created a mental prison sort of thing for urself by ur 'lack of motivation'. and im talking in psychological terms here...:p thing is, u need to seriously change that. try being more active in school. do something kind, bring a smile on someone's face. try out something new. it'll help u, trust me. plus, try to be more social and hangout with ur friends. go watch a movie. anything.
pessimistic i think its a great thing , then you dont get dissapointed as much right. be comfortable with who you are , its clear you cant be bothered to change if you really enjoy psychology then loose yourself in it , all the studies have really interesting side studies and backgrounds to them , just try to be a little more light hearted , if you want to do soemthing where people wont judge volunteering could be great and possible give yourself a feeling of self worth.
