27 year old with barely minimum wage job | Posted by Quitters_Win at April 6, 2012 | Tags: 2012 April Job |
Hello, my life truly sucks and it's mostly my fault. I just turned 27 with a barely above minimum wage retail crap job that I've had for a few years; I just finished with my bachelors in a degree I have no desire for. I'm going to quit my job today with no job lined up because I freaking hate it so much. I'm constantly being abused and used until I get so old that they will spit me out. Luckily I have enough savings to last me for a while and I'm living my parents. I have no friends and no girlfriend and yet sometimes girls do flirt with me but than I end up messing up because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
I wear thick-ass glasses and have bad teeth. Everything I do seems to be never good enough for anybody. I just have to live my life for myself. I'm a bit shy and quiet with low self-esteem but I can get overly aggressive if I was super piss. Everytime I think about going into my crap retail job I end up crying and cannot do anything else. I'm going to quit today and that's freaking it and if the manager wants to fire or give me a bad reference than so freaking be it; I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I just feel like I cannot do any better than my crappy job but I just know there is something else out there if not than I'll go back to retail at a different company I mean come on I'm still under 30.
This is not the end until I'm the end. | |

I know that today was probabaly not the best for you, but I think you have the right idea with that last statement. It's really not the end. If anything, quitting your job is the beginning. (Okay, that sounded pretty sappy, like something you would read in one of those over-printed magazines in Walgreens, but it's true.) If you quit your job, you can always get another. And if you have a bit of savings, do waste it waiting for that next job to come around. Find another job, one that you can feel at least a little better about doing.
As to that degree you have, do you really not like it? What makes it so bad? Maybe it can help you find out what you would really love doing. You can't keep hating what you get up in the morning to do, it'll really screw you up.
If you don't want to be depressed like this, then don't do the things you don't want to do. Help yourself out.
By the way, thick glasses and bad teeth is hardly something to worry about. If girls try to flurt, say what you want (as long as it's not "hey, Baby, is that a mirror in your pocket 'cause I can see myself in your pants"). Eventually, the right girl will blush or smile and give you an "open" statement. That means she'll make a move to continue the conversation. Just go with it. If there is anything true about ALL men, it's that all of them can be a charmer as long as they're with the right girl.
Good luck, my friend. Next time, don't let yourself get so down.
Here is a link that may offer you some hope. I can't type the link properly since this damned site doesn't allow links...if you can believe it. You can figure it out:
