Why don't I care about anyone anymore?

Its ok even Harry Potter got angry at the world. It might just be a phase that you are in. Time for a vacation and order a pizza or make your favourite food. “illegitimi non carborundum”, Don’t let the bastards grind you down!

I’m late for school all the time lel.

But joke aside…

Skipping school is just going to bite you in the ass. Don’t do it.
If you have some problems in school or in your family, running away from there ain’t gonna help. Find some place to relax, collect your mind, and then come back to school and your normal life and try to find some solution.

Everyone feels down from time to time, but everything comes back to its place. If you have some serious issue, go ahead and tell, ask for help.

Making your problems even bigger won’t help.

@Zach, you sound depressed to me. Have you talked to your doctor or a counsellor at your college or school? You’ve made a few posts about how you are feeling, and you are obviously not in a great place. That’s not unusual for a person of your age. You’ve got a lot going on, a lot of stress, but think about talking to a counsellor or your doctor to make sure you don’t need some help beyond talking to us.

Beyond that, sometimes we have to force ourselves to do things and when we do, we find we enjoy them. So perhaps let your mates know you’re feeling down. Tell them to not let you bow out of activities. And make yourself get involved. You know ‘fake it until you make it’? It does work. In my experience, when I really don’t feel like going to a party or going out with friends, I actually end up having a good time if I make myself participate.

@Zachary_Mendes123 . The road to manhood is long,not particularly well lit, and full of obstacles,both real and imagined. Don’t stop too long on the way. That is, don’t focus too much on the present. You’re at a difficult age now. I personally struggled mightily with multiple issues at that time in my life,and would wager most do. Anger, frustration, heart break and self doubt were my biggest issues.

You are a young man, and wouldn’t be worth much in the future, without adversity. Men aren’t born, they are tempered by the flames of life. Beaten into a sharp, useful blade by time, and experience. Then, and only then, they can be wielded by the world as a contributor to making this a better place.

This part of your path is littered with stepping stones. Things you are doing now, and most problems you’re experiencing are temporary. It’s all going to get better as you get older. The years will pass faster than you will expect. Then you can start making money, building a life, exploring the world, loving, being loved, and finding out what makes you happy, and how to chase your dreams.

Just try and see the long view. Big picture is, you just have to tolerate the next couple years, and then you’ll get the hang of it. It won’t be easy, but you have all the tools you will need.Your wits, and your mits. With your brain, and your hands, there will be nothing you cannot overcome. You just have to learn how to use them.

I started playing the guitar around 16. That helped me through a lot of my tougher times. Still does… I also lifted weights, and did boxing, and MMA training, which helped me with my anger.
Try to find some things to help distract you from the negative aspects of your life. That’ll help. Next thing you know, you’ll be in your 20’s, and your brain will be fully developed. Then, with each day, you will become stronger, and wiser.

So…. Puff your chest out. Keep your chin up. I guarantee that most of us here on Fluther would love to be 18 (thought you said you were 18) again. Youth feels like a curse, but it is really a blessing. Don’t waste it in self loathing, and disparity.

Speaking of Fluther. Keep in mind that your fellow jellies are here for you. Just log in, and tell us what is troubling you. Maybe we can help. Or at least help you vent.

You’re going to be ok. Your thoughts, and feelings are normal.

Good luck brother.

Peace n love.

Great post @MrGrimm888. @Zachary_Mendes123, he speaks truth, listen and do use us as a sounding board. Ask that other question. There are people here who will be able to give you some good advice.

@Zachary_Mendes123 IMHO you seem depressed. Which is not to minimize what you feel. Can you speak with your parents/counselor at school or your physician. It can help just to talk about it with someone. “A problem shared is a problem halved.” God Bless. Thanks for sharing.
