Have you ever wanted to just quit in life?

Asked by saysay15 (79points) December 14th, 2009

im sick and tired of just working so hard…even when it does pay off..which isnt most of the time. sometimes i just want to give up..like not suicidal..but run away, start a new life..forget all the stuff thats happened to me, if not..take into consideration the things that have happened to me and use them to make my life better in the future. this is mostly because of 1)parents, 2)grades, 3) going to my dream college, 4) if i ever become a loner, 5) dont get a job 6) get laid off from work or never get any type of work, 7) my only grandparent left in the world die, 8) going to hell…it could go on and on i swear..

I used to feel like that, then I got over it, I’m doing fine, so blah, don’t give a shit about what happens in the future :)

I currently want to quit. Nothing seems to be going right for me. It’s been very discouraging and I just wish life came with an “eject” button, in case of emergency.

Yes, I feel the same way. I just want to run away and start a new life in another country under an assumed name, but that plan won’t work in our modern world, so I guess I’d be better off becoming a hermit up in the mountains somewhere. It seems like every time I try to improve my life or make a new start and new friends (at least IRL), things just don’t work out. Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution to your problem, since I’m suffering from the same ailment. Maybe we can try to encourage each other here.

@ItalianPrincess1217 I would love to have an eject button! Or a delete key to erase our mistakes in life!

I felt that way when I was younger but then I realized that life really isn’t so bad.

Yep. But less “quit” and more “be removed until the bad stuff passes.”

On several occasions, I have “become someone else”. Gotten in the car drove a couple hundred miles away and ‘became” some one else. No one knew me, I knew no one, I could be who I wanted for a few days. But I haven’t yet got the nerve to make it permanent.

Yes. Many times. But I don’t want to have to rebuild it all again. Things get awfully screwed up sometimes, but I know that if I just hang on and keep taking it one step at a time, I will eventually feel joy again and see how to make my life better.

Never quit! next week it may turn around. You can’t stay down forever. We are all suporting you. Go girl!

@Jewel I feel exactly the same. I would love to go somewhere, anywhere and start all over again. The fear of the unknown and radical change will always stop me, it always seems easier to hang on hoping will change back ‘home’. I don’t have a bad social life and have a reasonable job, so it feels very selfish to feel this way.

To quote a song which sums me up at the moment…“When everybody’s in, and your left out”.

Yes; I’ve felt like that off ‘n on for several years….

I wouldn’t worry about #8.

Every bloody day, but as long as I’m waking, I have to get up and face it. Life is a huge pain in the ass, but it’s an interesting motion picture.

I really wish, often enough, that I could grow wings and fly off.
I guess we all get days like this. I dread routine and mundane social expectations.
However there’s no choice but to abide in modern society, unless you want to live in the woods and use tree bark as asswipe.
It’s not all bad either, but despite this, yes, many days I seem to rise on the wrong side of the bed, and that which sucks is amplified all the more. :/

Sure I feel that way all the time. I have moved around a lot because I hope the grass is always greener somewhere else. I tried to die once upon a time because everything went wrong at the same time. My life is a trainwreck that keeps derailing over and over.

Every . . . single . . . day.

Then I look around me and realize I’m being very self indulgent and stupid.

you’re not going to go to hell. everyone dies at some point. grades don’t matter much and you will find a job you like if you keep your standards high and also have something to offer. welcome to the world: it’s complex but you can live a great life without wanting to quit it. if you really really want to quit it, it’s your choice but get some perspective first. move to South Africa. you’ll see what I mean.

Everyone feels some dissatisfaction in their life from time to time. To help with your perspective, I suggest you sign up for volunteer work in your area.

I don’t usually feel like I want to quit life but I do feel like I want to have a BIg temper tantrum…especially when I see a little kid screaming and stomping their feet, arching their back just really going all out…how I would love to do that sometimes…can I do it at work when its too much, or when my husband is getting on my nerves or how about when my kids seem unreasonable…oh, how I would love to have a grand temper tantrum, at least just once….

RubyReds's avatar

Got the feeling from time to time but I guess not strong enough to just do it. Too much to loose now when doing it. I rather just stay put and wait for the feeling to go over.
