Boredom

Is it normal to experience a feeling of unrest with your current lifestyle?

Because that's what I'm feeling. I'm having a serious sensation of unrest with the way I'm living my life as of late. I don't know if that's just because I don't get out much, or maybe I'm not doing something I'm supposed to, but I just feel bored and disdainful. I never really go out with friends, and I don't even do that much when I'm at home. At school I kind of glide through my classes without interacting much with others. In the back of my mind, I kind of have this timer that counts down until college, because I guess I think that's when things are going to change, but there's really no guarantee. And besides, what if it never happens? What if I'm stuck for the rest of my life with a lifestyle that leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth?

Is this a normal feeling?

Respond if you can.

OK, I have a few thoughts here. One, life is, indeed, what you make of it. You control your destiny in that sense. Second, if you have friends, and you want to hang out with them, then sometimes you need to make the first move to make sure you are a part of activities. Friendship, of course, is a two way road, but perhaps your friends are sensing your disdain, and don't think you want to do anything. I would hate to think that you waste the last short years of high school waiting for college, and when you look back, you have no real memories. Every phase - high school, college, and beyond - all hold places & moments that are precious and cannot relived once that time period is gone. It is understandable to be frustrated with your current place in time every once in a while, but you are the only one who can change that situation. ~Mrs. Wilson :)
