"limited" life

[thor01]

Does anyone get to the point where they think forget it I'm OK with having a basic life just for myself and don't need to be all social and sgo out and stuff? Recently Ive had little motivation to go into college and think next year I might not study anymore, I don't know. But I often just feel the need for a break and to just be by myself or with my mum or my dad (seperatley), (and even though that have its problems in a way haha). But I feel you don't need to look a certain way with your life or do anything to please anyone else other than you, especially when its a job in itself to manage your own feelings and dont have anyone you feel right around at these times. So sometimes I feel happy (if thats the right word) with doing little things to comfort myself, where I don't have to think as much about how I'm coming across. I like playing music, playing games sometimes, sometimes reading, dvd's, and going for rides in the car with either my mum or dad haha.
And I say "limited" because of how it might be seen by most people.

I would settle for anything functional. But that is beyond my sphere of influence to attain. Question is, how do you live when you cannot function on normal day to day tasks? The answer I keep coming to leads me to a grim place.

My life may certainly be limited in the conservative sense of the cliched expectations of what life should be. My life in truth is anything but limited, my horizons are open and endless. I am a free spirit that follows my dreams.

My life isn't basic. Many of the popular concerns on this forum such as dating, relationships, marriage, children, sex aren't even on my radar anyomore. I've trascended all that to focus on the things that bring me inspiration and happiness.

As long as you're content, it shouldn't matter whether your life is "limited" or not.
For me, I sometimes dream of living a quiet life in the countryside haha.

The assumption here is that you are completely in control of how limited your life is. For example, 70% of jobs are never advertised but filled through informal networking. There are additional downstream limitations that are not obvious in the present moment.

Nice replies.
Its just in the past few months Ive had more problems added such as lots of general anxiety and panic. Now thats died down abit but Ive been left feeling quite "depersonalized" and alot of the time not quite myself. So that makes me just want to keep to myself until I feel right. But even when I do Ive realised theres nothing I should have to do in life and if I want to keep living how I am now thats fine.

And true Kiwong. I really just said limited because thats how other people might think of it.
Really people like us will be more free because we won't have alot of the same responsabilities that I cant understand why people take them on because they feel they should. Like getting married and having children. Of course if people want to to that thats fine! Nothing against that. But its not for me. Even relationships. I won't pressure myself to be in one like most might.

Well, at first as was like ''Yeah, I kinda feel limited'', but then I remember that I posted (on another thread here) that I wanted to invent/design/create/use a individual flying machine. I mean, the sky is literally the limit for me. So it would be kind of misleading of me to say that I feel limited.

It's periodic for me personally. The common nominator for me is surroundings. I notice that my attitude towards life changes when seemingly unrelated/unimportant things change.

With that, if you don't feel happy now, you might want to consider to make a few changes here and there. And make those changes happen at any (morally acceptable) cost.

The thing is I sometimes wonder what happy is haha. Do I even want to be happy, or do I not mind being unhappy and feel OK about it? hahaha. Nah I know I can feel happy, but just maybe in a different way. I guess I feel "happy" when I'm working on music and stuff or just doing my own thing, as long as I'm not feeling anxious. But I think, in terms of a life, when you think a certain thing will make you happy, you might just think, right, what next, after that? haha.
And yeah puma, I feel very unlimited too in that sense. Its just that when viewd by others, some of out lives may look "limited". Like when Ive been asked what I do in my free time, I get the imrpession they think thats quite odd, and that i don't have much of a life haha. But its what I'm choosing.
