Just wondering...

...why are people so impatient? Why can't they wait for two seconds till the light turns green and I move ahead and then they can turn left? Why swear at me...especially when I haven't broken any road rules?

...why am I so confused about so many things lately? I just can't seem to make a decision. I want to sometimes and at other times, I have my doubts. I am so confused. :(

...why do better jobs get advertised when I have just started a new one? And why do I think that I have made a mistake?

...why am I so bored and apathetic about most things apart from my creative writing and Italian classes?

...why do I find it so hard to get along with people my own age? I seem to make friends with older people...even in my two weeks of classes, I have become friendly with women older than me...two of whom are grandmothers. (And unlike what one of my friends told me, I'm not gifted!)

...why do I have to share with someone who is like a juvenile? Seriously, I sometimes feel like I'm sharing with a teenager even though she's just a year younger than me. I am currently modelling cleanliness behaviours at home. When she's around, I'm cleaning the kitchen when I drop crumbs on the bench!

...why am I so mature and responsible when it comes to most things but not in some other areas? I am running my house and can make decisions there...but for some other things, I can be so stupid and indecisive!

...why is it that the days I am running late for work are the days there will be an accident on the road thereby disrupting traffic?

...why do people who have worked for years and years think that they are definitely doing the right thing and not willing to listen to someone with a different view? Not in terms of client work but more so in terms of administrative stuff. Someone else may just have a better idea because they are viewing things with fresh eyes.

...why does my heart hurt so much when I miss or worry about certain people in my life?

...why do I get jealous so easily? I have always been this way since a child. When can I get over it? And how?

...why am I so critical about almost every person I meet? [An entire post on this will come up sometime soon...]

...why am I so scared to go seek therapy? It's what I do for a living...encourage people to get rid of that stigma and come and see me. But I'm scared to get help for myself.

...why do I love to be by myself and yet crave the company of a loved one?

...why do I worry about the future even though I know it is not going to do me any good since I do not know what the future holds?

Why?

Will I ever get answers to any of these?

I guess I don't really mind...just wanted to put it out there...

Until next time,

Cheers!!!

  1. Now come on...don't all of us face these questions at some or the other point of our lives? Its good to judge yourself first rather than giving others the chance to do that...but don't get so bugged by it!

    Chill!!!!!!

  9. First things first [[[[[HUGS]]]]]

    Few of these WHY things happen to me regularly..so I'll not say that it's just a phase and all that...It's a cycle which keeps coming up every now and then..

    specially the signal problem that you mentioned...I face it daily..DAILY..people are just so restless to break traffic rules..they don't realize what they can loose by just one tiny mistake :(

    I too feel confused about the things I want to do and suddenly feel that no It's not for me :(

    I have the same problem with the experienced lot..but a twist in that..I always tend to question elders who think they are right in everything just because they are older to me :( Not logical na ?

    I too sometimes think that I made a mistake by leaving my job..perfect job..in Mumbai..so yes I too feel confused about my decision !

    But that's okay I guess..everyone has different questions in their mind..and we are the ones who should accept ourselves with what all we have..good,bad,ugle things :)

    And the best part is,in these WHY times, turn to those who love so much...like me :) Muuuahhh and you will feel better :)

  10. I didn't realise I was first!!!!

    Its alright my dear...all you need is an outlet and I'm glad we can all get it here, isn't it? I'm sure you'll snap out of it, just like that and come back to writing like YOU! :)

  12. I guess most of us have pretty similar questions at one time or another in life. We fail to make any decisions and think 'why cant i'. So i guess this is kinda normal and you will out of this phase soon.

    ReplyDelete
  13. like takes many twists and turns..we just have to worry about one turn at a time...but we try to take on too many things at once. Therefore the mind gets clouded. keep it short n simple.

  14. At this given point of life, I can relate to some of the points you've written about...and am sure the rest I will ask myself at some point or the other. Don't have answers, but things don't always stay this way...so just hang in there, it will pass. Hugs! Take care, psych.

  32. Don't ask why, it keeps you in questions instead of in life.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Welcome JB! Lol...nice one! I need to try and remember that.

    ReplyDelete
  34. first time reader here. Looks like a list of question that will need to come out of your head. But I think you should always keep asking why.
    We all need to stay curious.

    so the comment counter reads 999 - lets see if it flips to 1000

    ReplyDelete
  35. Welcome Lisleman! I believe we need to ask questions too...else it means we are just bored with life and passing by...

    By the way, there's something wrong with the comment counter...a week ago it was around 3000 which is actually the right one....don't know what's going on!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hehe...I really need to be able to see the glass half full but my tendency is to see things as half empty

    ReplyDelete
  37. Murphy's law...true I reckon it applies in most cases, huh?
