I feel like I’m playing the victim, I never wanted to be a drama queen I actually hate when I act like that, considering all the suffering in this world I feel like I have no right to complain. I mean yeah I never met my father and my mother is… well I wouldn’t even know how to start with her, let’s just say that she taught me to hate myself. But a lot of people have problems with their parents it’s not like I’m a special case or something. I have every opportunity to succeeding in life like any other college student my age, which considering this economy are very slim, and maybe that’s why feel so lost when I think about my future , I was always told that I had to go to college but after that I’ll have to make my own choices and that scares me a lot because I have no idea what to do with my life. But then again pretty much all of my friends are as lost as me so I’m not that different. I guess I just always thought that I’d die young so that’s why I can’t picture a future for myself.
I don’t think I’m making much sense, to be honest what I want to say is that I have no reason to feel like this , I actually don’t even know what I’m feeling! Sometimes I just wish I could disappear and be forgotten, my friends tell me that I’m too distant and I have problems letting people in, I don’t really know if it’s to protect me or them. On one hand if they betray me I wouldn’t care that much because a: I’m used to it and b: I really don’t care anymore, and on the other hand I’m probably preventing them from getting too attached so when I’ll finally disappear I won’t feel guilty about it.
Yeah that’s another thing, there are two reasons why I haven’t already killed myself: 1 I don’t want to go to hell , honest to God that’s what I kept telling myself from the age of 10, now I don’t really care that much anymore tbh and 2 there are my foster parents. They love me, I don’t know why because I’m such a worthless piece of shit I don’t really deserve them, but they do. So I don’t want to make them suffer because it’d break their heart. I guess that’s also why I don’t want to get too close to other people , because I don’t want them on my conscience too. I mean my mother and my siblings wouldn’t be too affected by this because I’m “the ***** of the family”, that’s what they used to call me when I was very very young, at first I never understood why they all seemed to dislike me so much but now I don’t really care, I used to try to please them to make them change their minds and I still try sometimes , I don’t know why since it never works. Ok I have to stop talking about my family because this getting too personal too fast. All I wanted was to get some things off of my chest because I fell like I can’t ever tell all of this to anyone , I just don’t anybody to be sad when I’ll be 6 foot under.

I would be sad tbh, because I sort of liked your rant and could relate to parts of it.
“I guess I just always thought that I’d die young so that’s why I can’t picture a future for myself”
I can SO relate to that, that is so me. Suddenly I am in my thirties and I never thought I would be here and I have no idea what to do with them, but I notice that I am already behind everyone else in terms of family and work milestones. (I never even ran a half marathon, for Christ’s sake! Kids are doing that now. Kids! Okay, I am not that bummed out about that tbh. Running: Who needs it?)
You are rationalising why you should not feel like sh*t, but feelings needn’t always make sense, besides, being belittled by your biological family is healthy for exactly no child. I am sorry you had to go through that, but do not fret too much about the future. You can make it up as you go.
And the marvellous thing is that once you realise that all you really NEED to do in life is scrape by and make a few friends along the way, that frees up a lot of energy to take a stab at whatever pet project you feel like pursuing.

You are valuable
A wise man once said to me,
“Do something you like and get someone to pay you for it.”
Just don’t forget to apply common sense here. I mean, I don’t expect someone to pay you to do drugs or something.
Or you could get a job as a marijuana tester, and get paid to do drugs 🙂
But seriously, a lot of people get an education, do a particular degree just to land a particular job. Whether they’ll like it is another matter. High pay usually comes with high stress. Would you be happy with that? I came across an article, it said that despite being on the lower pay scale, hairdressers are the happiest simply because they enjoy it.
So it’s just a matter of pursuing something you enjoy doing already. If you’re still unsure then explore the unknown and try something you’ve never done before. You’re heading for graduation, you’ve still got plenty of time. Don’t be bound by conventions and go on an adventure.
