36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I’ll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I’ve resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?
Get a hobby? Fall in love? Become a parent? Frankly, having a tolerable and safe job sounds pretty good to me.
Become a villain? Get into politics? Build an evil empire? Destroy a nation from within?
Honestly I’m pretty much at the point where I don’t see any other option other than criminal activity or starting a violent revolution, but I’m in the wrong country for that.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Life says “No Returns”.
Agree, fuck life, take your lemons back.
I’ve had hobbies, bored of them now. Fall in love? That’s antiquated, no one marries for love, only convenience and finding someone is impossible if your not socially well connected or rich. A safe and stable job gets boring very quickly.
I think you should talk to a therapist, and I don’t mean that as an insult (and for the record, I didn’t downvote you).
