OMG Im a REDNECK... :( Need help my life is a mess *Warning RANT*

well if I liked country music and had some overalls I would be set.

Man this sucks...

I'm a 22, fat, broke, have no plans, don't know what I want to do in life, barely able to pass my classes, lazy, camaro driving, redneck.

What makes it even worse is my mom told me today that I sounded like a redneck.

90% of my family is, but I hate it and don't want to be like them. Seriously I can't stand my family. My mom, dad, and little cousin are the only ones I can be around for long periods of time. Everyone else I want them to leave me alone.

I don't care about anything anymore and its sad. Im really thinking about going to get some help, but unless they give me some magic happy anti redneck pills it want work.

My life is going to the movies (like once every month), going to the comic shop, sleeping, eating, and lots of sleeping... All my friends I used to have are either busy, or gone. Everyone I know is either finished with school or finishing now. Im still at a stupid community college because I'm a lazy slob. Forget about a 4 year degree, I just pray by some miracle I get a 2 year one.

I have nothing to do, no job, nothing.

And whats worse is I don't care if I work.


I might as well get a 1 bedroom trailer, and a job at the 7 11, cause thats where my life is heading.

I need help...


Sorry for the long rant, but Im just $*$&ing mad at myself this summer. :|😱:disgust:🙁
 
so do something about it.

sounds like a mild case of depression as well, see a therapist. (and i'm not trying to be mean there, i'm actually serious for once).

Good Luck.
 
do you own any confederate flags?

if not they you have at least 1 more step to go before you are a full blown redneck
 
I assume your school has a gym that you can use for free? Fill your free time working out. Most rednecks I've seen are skinny ass folks with big ol' wives. So if you are going to meet your big redneck woman, you gotta get skinny.
 
Dude, borrow some money from anyone and everyone who'll loan you money, and MOVE! Get yourself to some other place, get a tiny apartment and get a job waiting tables or something. Move move move!!!
 
Hey, I have respect for rednecks. If I had to choose between the two: rednecks or pretentious people, I'd pick the rednecks because they're more down to earth. Just last week I ran into a redneck at the lumber yard. We had a great conversation. He was picking up some lumber to do some trim repairs on a house. It turns out the house was 3 stories high and he didn't care for heights, so he was going to have some of his buddies do the lofty work. To quote him "Yeah, my buddies like working up there. Heck, they're high when they show up to do the work anyways". I thought this was hilarious. Again, I have more respect for the rednecks than the Lexus-driving millionaire wanna-bees.

yeah I think that I need some help, I just need to get up and call someone for an appointment. Maybe a therapist would be able to help me out. Lots of things are going wrong in my life (more than what I listed), and that doesn't make me feel any better about myself. I guess the reason I haven't thought about going until now is Im a little scared to go and share my feelings with one of these people, seriously.

i hear ya man. it really is hard to make that first appointment. but once you do, you'll feel better right away. then it will only get better as you go along. Trust me, that is the best first step. Get in to see a dr. and tell him/her what's up.

Great suggestion, but I have no one to borrow money from. I have no job and no credit so I can't take a loan out at the bank either.

Living with your parents, even if they give you tons of freedom is still bad. I can do what I want and come and go as I please, but its still not like living on your own.

22 and living with your parents is not that great even if you get free rent and food.
 
I dont get it dude. On one hand you say that you dont want to be a redneck and on the other you are on your way to become one. Use your fear of becoming a redneck as your inspiration and complete college. Become something in life and then other guys like you will try to follow your path. Its always good to be proclaimed as the shining light by everyone else. Good luck!
 
Haha, you're 22, have no degree, no job, live with your parents, and are an aspiring redneck! 😛

BTW, rednecks don't visit comic shops, nerds do.
 
I got stuck sitting next to a drunk redneck this weekend at a party, he WOULD NOT stop talking to me about his POS Mustang that did 10.5 and his super rare Yamaha 1100 and the old Honda 4 cylinder bike he was making into a 150mph go-cart for his grandson (I found out he's 18 months old later that night)
Lemme descibe redneck here: 48 yrs old wearing red sweatpants and hightops, 6'4" at least 300 lbs with a ponytail and a black t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, drinking a highly flammable mix of Gatorade and 5-Star whiskey, he calls it "Gatorot" for Gatorade and Rot-gut.

DO NOT BECOME THIS GUY.
 
Um, get a job. I think your problem is that you think you are above the lower class jobs. Go flip some burgers, wait some tables, or clean some toilets. If it's all you can get, so be it. But you are 22 years old...you need to work! And you need to start getting experience somewhere. Once you start bringing in money, you will feel better about yourself...it's understandable that you feel so crappy when you are this old and haven't really accomplished much or had a steady job.

You don't need a therapist, you just need to stop being lazy and feeling sorry for yourself. Sorry to be blunt, but it's the same thing some shrink would tell you anyway.

Indeed. times are hard on everyone. I had a friend who was laid off from a computer consulting firm during the IT slump and was unemplyed for 6 months because he was holding out for a 'good' job . . . which never came, so he ended up working on the computer assembly line at compaq. Another one of my friends has a masters in behavioral psych, and the best job he's been able to land is gift shop attendant. So don;t just mope around the house . . .that will just make it worse. go out and get an f'ing job. Go to the labor-ready or temp places if you have to, but ultimately KAmi is right, when you start providing for yourself, and paying for your own stuff, you'll get some self-confidence that you are obviously lacking. Save up, don't blow your paycheck, and Move out. Either finish school or work. But for heaven's sake, don't just sit around and get fat watching matlock reruns. Then you just become pathetic.


 
I am with them. Get a job. Any job will do to start. It sounds like your self esteem is in need of a boost. Some good old fashioned honest work will do it wonders no matter how menial it is. By working with other people you will also have opportunity to meet new people and possibly meet some new friends. Remember that an honest days work is never something to be ashamed of. Whatever job you do just do it to the best of your ability. Always keep your eyes open for something better and just move up 1 step at a time. As far as school goes stay with it as well you will thank yourself later. Never be without work if you can help it. I have a rule i have always lived by as far as work is concerned. I will never leave a job of my own freewill except for a better job. Hope things start looking up for you soon but remember it's all pretty much up to you to do it.
 
depression?

The first thing a therapist will tell you to do is EXERCISE

if not for physical, then Mental health...

it does wonders

serisouly, just going for a walk (45min or so) a few times a week will do wonders. Thats what I do now, I go about 4-5 times a week for at least an hour to 1.5 hours...

Ambition is hard to get when your too comfortable living at home...I suggest setting a goal for yourself and focus heavily on that goal.
 
Hey man. If you ever need to unload, you know my number. Ive been wondering where youve been for the past week or so.

Yep. Hell, I water plants right now. Some people may look down on me, but fsck em, I don't care. Its a job and I need the money...


If you're too lazy for college, I suggest you go into a trade job, like a caprpenter, plumber, contractor etc. They pay good and they seem like good jobs. Firefighing has always apealed to me. I'd probably be doing one of those if I weren't going into Comp Eng.
 
You say Redneck ias if it is a bad thing. Rednecks are the salt of the earth. We created this great nation (yes the founding fathers would be considered rednecks!!) and we keep the american economy rolling (keep buying those Camaro's and american tobacco products!!!). Be proud, it could be worse....you could wake up one day and realize you are a Democrat!!!!!!!! Now hows about a rebel yell!!!!!!!
