Scared of the future?

Featured Replies

Are you? Getting a job, finishing college, getting married, having children, anything that comes with the future.

Does that scare you?

 

Getting married scares the shit out of me.

lol Alexa, why are you scared of getting married?

 

Being old is scary. Also, I'm scared that I'll some day be too complacent to do anything else in my life except work.

I think I'll never find someone to spend my life with :sad: which sucks because I really want to find someone, have a son, etc. Also I'm scared I won't have time or money to do all the things I want to do (travel, learn more, etc)

LOL Fariboo, why are you scared of being old? :P

I think it's a huge deal, such a big commitment there and so many things involved, and I tend to ruin good things in life so I don't think I'd be able to deal with that.

I'm actually more afraid of NOT getting a job at this point, given the cuts being made to fine arts programs. My friend's mom got fired due to this very thing. :anxious:

What do you do exactly?

I'm a music education major. When I get my degree, I hope to be a band director.

I'm very scared about the future. I think I'm headed in the right path in terms of a job, just because I'm doing an internship I love and I think it's going to lead to a job.

 

What I'm most afraid of is I'm afraid that I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life, especially since I don't have a GF now or anything. I sort of wish that I was progressing with that, but it's not so.... well at least right now.

 

I'm also scared of the future in the sense that I'm so used to things being the way they are that I'm afraid of things changing, but the paradox of that is that I want things to be different and experience new things.

Dude. It's like you read my mind. :surprised:

I remember that back when I was 14 years old I was pretty much obsessed with studying music and playing in an orchestra (violin). My mom pretty much killed it by telling me what you commented.

Haha, I think about that a lot.

Thinking about how you go from being a kid to being a parent, then a grandparent makes me feel so much panic x_x.

yeah it's scary to think of getting older and being a parent (though at this point I dunno If I want to). Like many times I imagine what it must've been like to be in my parents shoes at this age, and also to see how things are different from then to how they are now

The future scares the fuck out of me.

 

Not nearly as much as the present, however.

Being old means that there are a lot of things that you won't be able to do anymore. And looking at things now there's a chance of me getting old alone and it's scary :(

 

You don't have to get married if you don't want to, although I think you'll be just fine being someone's wife :P

Urgh being a parent really is a scary thought. I can't imagine raising up a person and risking ruining that person's life.

I also think being a parent is scary but it must be awesome to see a little person grow up and discover the world and you being able to guide him/her and teach stuff :blush:

I'm really afraid of the future!! I feel like I've missed out on a lot already because I'm really shy and I'm just not into the same things that other teenagers are into. I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and realize that I let my whole life pass by without trying anything new or exciting.

 

I don't want to be old either :sick:

...pretty much how I feel, or feel things have been since HS started

Yes, I'm afraid I won't get to see my girlfriend this year

I'm afraid of going off to college only to realize that I don't like my major

I'm afraid of coming out to everyone

I'm afraid of dying... everyday

 

I'm afraid of everything..

I'm afraid of everyone... (lawls)

let's see... I'm particularly afraid of life after college.

I've been in a bubble for the past three years, and now I'm sick and tired of giving everybody I know the usual prepared sentence "I want to go to grad school but need to choose between history and phil blah, blah, blah." I'm mostly annoyed by the fact that there's not a day I don't think about my future but I'm still clueless, apathetic and just lack ambition of any kind.

In general I just feel incompetent and unprepared for the 'real world'. The message I'm getting from my family now is that I should forget about a degree and try to find an internship somewhere (I've applied for an internship at a publishing company, and going to san francisco this summer so my sister can hook me up connections and a job). I graduate this winter, and I just feel like I'll be helpless to make anything of myself when that comes.

 

Though I'm frightened of relationships, like someone said...I'm more frightened by the idea of raising kids.

I'm very VERY very scared of growing old !

 

I'm scared of not becomming what I want

I'm afraid I won't ever succeed (in being musician)

I'm scared that I might never move to England

I'm afraid of what I will do there once I moved , I have no interest at all for

studying , but I can't just do a shit job for the rest of my life .. But that's all a reason to go to England ...

 

:wreck:

I am not really scared of it...I find it rather interesting esp. at the moment....even though I feel kinda lost about some decisions to be made I don't feel desperate or scared or anything...I know back in my mind that I will make it...same with being lonely...I am pretty lonely at the moment, but I know that this will change too....a thing I like about my current situation is that I can do whatever I want and make the decision I want....when I was younger and still went to school or when I did my a-levels I wasn't as free as I am now...I like that

sometimes I feel like life has just begun and I can do whatever I want with it

 

I guess it'd be boring if everything went right right from the start

 

of course I get kinda scared of the future sometimes, but only for moments...it doesn't last

I'm not scared of the things I control.

And those I can't control aren't worth worrying about as I have no control over them.
