I've had 2 of my closest friends tell me how they feel UNFULFILLED in Life.

What do you work for? @Stuntone

What do your friends work for?

Lmaooooo this shyt is laughable

So do you think that if black men lived in our own seperate environment/society away from cacs, our idea of marriage would be exactly what the Europeans is?
Do you think we would create the exact same dynamic,same rules,same boundaries for our women? You have no experience as a black man,we have the experience of white men and are playing out a white mans mind. This is why we need to seperate .

 

[Xyrax]

They don’t have anyone special? That’s why they not happy

This aint true. I know loads of nikkas with wives and kids having wild mid life crisis phases bruh. Hell its extremely common amongst middle aged married men.

A woman is not going to solve your internal desires or instantly make you feel fulfilled. shyt doesn't work like that.

If you had dreams of being a billionaire businessman or some shyt, being married to even the best woman aint gonna fulfill that old desire. You either let it go, stress over it, or do some reckless shyt and pursue it (midlife crisis stories go here )

 

[jwonder]

Nah. I pretty much did everything I wanted in life so I am at peace. I'm estatic to not have kids or wife(it's not for everyone) and I think people make that mistake when they fee like their life is missing a void.

If your life is peaceful be very grateful. Don't do anything outlandish just because you are bored with life or feel like something is missing.

You either spend time doing something you're passionate about, or you make it a career.
Dissatisfaction can come from a lot of areas, whether it's feelings that you never lived up to your potential, or feel that you're not making enough money, travelling enough, interesting enough, social media portraying false images of everyone else.

Personally, even when I'm not enjoying the work I'm doing - I'll put time into one of my passions. I love art, I love physical activity, I love music, food, and writing. So I do all of those things. Even for just a few minutes.

It makes things better.

They are not our women. And they will never do anything without the environment they are already in. They want to do whatever it is that they please. Black women don’t want to be under anyone’s leadership but themselves.

If so there would be more black women in Islam than Jesus lol.

I have been struggling with this lately too. It's the feeling that I just don't feel happy nor do I feel sad. It's like I'm just going with the motion. I tried picking up and learning soome new hobbies and going out to meet new people but I lose interest quickly and shyt just don't hit. I am losing interest in the career that I am in too.



After thinking about it, I learned that it is because I have no goals. When you have no goals in life, that is when you start feeling unfullfiled. You gotta constantly keep coming up with new goals to tackle.Also you reach a certain age where fulfillment also comes from helping other people out

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Social media was the worst thing to happen to society

people wouldn’t feel that their
life was unfulfilled if they hadn’t seen what everybody else is doing

it feels like everybody is a celebrity these days or important

if you just did your job and didn’t hear about all the awesome accomplishments of others that have been magnified on a global scale through social media you would live a more simplistic routine without the envy at least that’s how I feel.

 

[Taadow]

What parent do you know that feels that their “life has no purpose”?

Are you saying every parent is happy because they have a purpose?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So I get to thinking about my own life, in my late 30s, no kids, no wife, my career is going good. I guess I feel unfulfilled too, but it doesn't bother me because I've always had low expectations. It's not a bad thing because I do work somewhat hard and very wisely and I was be happy with the outcome. Honestly my expectations were so low and feel like I've overachieved. I think people get depressed because they don't feel like they're doing some special. But a majority of humans are just regular everyday people.


How do yall deal with feelings of unfulfillment and not really having a purpose?

Me and @8WON6 didnt mean any harm when we had this discussion with you.

Was hoping it was gonna be a private offline discussion but it’s whatever.

You have potential, we believe in you at the end of the day and we both think you will figure it out

Find Jesus …. Don’t @ me

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Some of the comments here are weird.

Simply having a spouse and kids is not going to make you fulfilled. There are plenty of people in this position that are in the midst of a full-blown identity crisis, because they did what society expected them to do as opposed to what they wanted

Sounds like you basically agree then. Other than the fact you blame black women for not taking themselves out of this enviornment,but place no blame on the black man. If black men our happy under European leadership,why wouldn't our women have been. If black men trust the European to create our standards,give us jobs,feed us,and teach us,why wouldn't our women#TheChildOfMan?

Once you think critically,you will understand what you need to do as a black man. I am currently happily and righteously attached.

 

[Krisrunner2049]

After turning 21 I been feeling the same way OP. But it’s the little things that get you through the day, I was peeping the construction worker Mexicans in line at 7-11 were cracking jokes with each other, despite having paint stained hands and looking like they been living hard for a decade or two, it’s all in ya perspective keep grinding

 

[Bless't]

Facts. It doesn’t even have to be biological children or marriage. Community service or being a mentor can provide a similar effect without the same level of commitment.

The root of a lot of modern unhappiness comes from selfishness and being ungrateful.

This.
