i don't want to contribute to society

i don't want to work


i don't want a job

...but it's lonely


seems like Having Friends is intertwined with DOING SOMETHING

How are you going to survive if you dont work?

 

[DanaLynn]

You should look into the symptoms of depression. I think that you may be experiencing it to some degree. I hope that you're praying about your situation, and I will pray for you.

 

[SkyBlade]

Why exactly do you not want to do the things you just mentioned, if it isn't personal? Asking in a curious not rude way. Knowing the reason for something will make it easier for people to help you. I have prayed for you.

 

[BFine]

In some of your other threads you mentioned about not being able
to find work, struggling with pornography, there one thread about you
liking a certain sin?

Being unrepentant hinders your prayers, affects your faith walk, leads
to bitterness etc.

Don't want to work? No one is stopping you...there are plenty of overpasses
available for someone who wants to drop out for whatever reason.

Who needs skills or education...their are plenty of pop bottles along
the sides of the roads just begging to be picked up.

You won't be lonely for long as misery loves company....lol

I'm not UNrepentent though...I'm struggling.


I think there's a difference.


Sometimes I overpower the temptation but most of the time I don't.

Not sure if this applies, but sometimes resentment festers when we've been driven hard and not allowed to grow by appropriately making our own choices. We come to see the possibilities as forced rather than wonderful opportunities not only to help others, but to grow and enjoy life ourselves, which they are. We become emotionally alienated from our own destinies. If that does apply you are only hurting yourself by giving in to this attitude.

If that is so, the answer is to acknowledge the problem, then to forgive in order to free yourself to move on. If you wipe the slate clean with forgiveness, you will be open to small opportunities that come your way in everyday disguise. Some very great things have begun from tiny seeds that found friendly soil.

Bear in mind that forgiveness does not mean approving of the wrong or submitting to abusers. You can forgive even if no reconciliation is possible. It's essentially a matter of committing the matter to God's sovereignty. In effect, it's a act of faith. And with faith comes healing and empowerment of both the soul and the path of life.

*I was Referring more to the part you talk about enjoying a certain sin
that you are doing repeatedly.

Struggling with sin is something that we all face.
When you make a personal "tie" with whatever sin you are "liking" that is, allowing it to keep you ensnared.
Repenting is more than just begging the Lord
to forgive you, it also includes: turning away from that sin and putting
barriers in place so you don't continually keep "falling" into that particular
sin.

I know what it is to struggle and to face temptation (a lot)--
my husband is 80% disabled due to an accident he had at his former
job...there's lots of on-going medical issues and looming in the near future
is his knee replacement surgery.
We have been in this struggle for over 3 years.

I/we endure because we have in place certain barriers to keep us from
"falling." We are renewed each day because we seek the Lord for the strength
and boldness to STAND up to whatever comes against us.
We have in place prayer warriors and mentors/advisors who help keep watch
over our souls.

I would encourage you to seek mature Christian folks in your area who can come along side you and help you in your struggle(s). I encourage you to get
in place barriers to keep you from continually falling into your particular sin.
I encourage you to build a firmer personal relationship with the LORD.

You are singing the theme song of an entire generation.

If you were looking for advice, and I am not sure you were, I suggest serving others for awhile in any capacity. It would be a great way to spend your time. Volunteer work, visiting elderly folks, etc. Getting out of yourself may be just what you need to start feeling better about your own situation.

 

[Knee V]

I feel you. I never want to do anything either. But I enjoy food and not sleeping in the rain. I also like having a phone.

But it seems that you want meaning in your life, otherwise you wouldn't value having friends.

If money weren't an issue and you could spend the rest of your life doing anything you'd like, what would you spend your time doing?

I know despite this being a Christian forum, one can not avoid getting answers that are unloving

but, seriously, dude, you have gone too far!

I just want to let the OP know ( which he already does) to not pay attention to what you have said here, because it does not reflect on him.

I hope this is a serious post. And as someone else stated, possibly you are undergoing some form of depression or your dependent on something else? I don't want to judge you and say drugs, so please set the record straight if I am wrong.

Who supplies your current resources? Why not start learning about the joy of living? Please elaborate on exactly what is going on. Your post is very scant. You could PM me if you care to talk privately. Blessings.

Looks like you have a reason to get a job and go back to school, then! To get you must give. Because as I learned, if you take and receive but give not, Karma will track you down. Better to give and receive. BTDT.

 

[sharoneiri]

It sounds like you really feel down and isolated.So much of our self esteem and lifesyle seems to be based around work or education. It doesn't have to be this way. Be kind to yourself,find somthing you enjoy and start in a small way,you don't know where it will lead.Hope things get better for you.

i don't want to work

Neither do I, but I've been getting up around 6 AM for most of my life, working instead of playing, supporting my family and a lot of indigents who don't want to work and REFUSE to be a man and support themselves.

i don't want a job

May I suggest that you move up to the Pacific Northwest and hang out with the Grizzly bears? They don't have jobs either, but they manage to feed themselves. They don't need clothes, so if you grow out your hair like theirs you won't either. They provide for their own shelter, but they don't punch a time clock. It's a much harder life, but they have their independence.

i don't want to go to school

I don't want to pay for your education.

...but it's lonely

Of course? Who wants to hang around someone who has NOTHING to contribute? Laziness and the desire to live off the efforts of others do not equal desirable traits in a person.

seems like Having Friends is intertwined with DOING SOMETHING

It sounds like you just want to be someone's pet dog; feed me, give me shelter, and I'm happy laying around doing nothing.

We don't always do what we want to do in life. If work was fun they wouldn't have to pay you to do it. The harder it gets, the more you get paid. A person who won't support themself is less than a man. Get out of your parents' home and do something with your life. It's hard to have self respect when you haven't done anything respectable.

Life can be really crappy sometimes. I live in a group home because of mental illness, but soon I will have my own appartment again, ie this summer probably. I'm still not going to hold a job because I know I could neither do it very well nor do I want to endanger my mental health again. Look for good art to spend time with, listening to good music, watch films, theater plays, etc. Yoko One and John Lennon had some really cool ideas. If you look at it through the eyes of a totalitarian kind of justice, you're not being righteous without a job, but if you look through God's eyes who gave Solomon a life of splendor without him doing anything for it except seeking wisdom, you're free to search your happiness and chase your own dream. But be kind to people and stick with God and all that.

 

[HIS Geeky Girl]

So basically you're a spoiled, whiny, self-absorbed brat?

Gotcha.





If you don't want to change that, that's up to you. Sit there and sulk and whine for the rest of your life if you want to, probably having Mommy pay your way and take care of you. Real manly.

On the other hand, if you want to change, do it. Sitting there crowing about how unmotivated you are won't change anything. Get off your keester and do something about it. I have a lot more respect for a miserable working man than a miserable apathetic man.

When you get out on your own, if you dont work then you dont eat. Its a universal law . Work is good for us, its important, and it can contribute greately to our self esteem which is maybe something you need now (??)
