My friends are out growing me

Similar situation here: I've got friends i've known before Secondary, but the ones I know now from it are more mature and play the same games as I do; my older ones are still fighting for relevance, but seem to just not have grown up at all- becoming more and more obvious by the day. I'm split- I know my newish friends will be difficult to keep in touch with past Secondary, whilst the older ones I will be able to keep in touch with, but will they have grown up? Meh. Too much thought- Truxton time.

 

These two paragraphs explains well my post, these guys at the school doesn't give a shit, they all say thank god for not having to see us anymore.

 

...

 

I can't tell if this is a jobcenter plus shill or somebody unaware of the current state of the job market.

I can't even get a job packing boxes in a warehouse, because doing that requires experience packing boxes in a warehouse.

 

this... that or they want forklift qualified / rated drivers.

job market sucks at the moment where i am we're the second worst in the uk, only north east england is worse off job/economy wise.

 

No, these positions specifically detail box packing and say no forklift driving. You just need experience... packing a box.

Does my 2/3 years of Ebaying count?

 

lol could always ask, but yeah thats why i said "that OR"

 

You could also do some research and lie they might not even call the old employer which is about 80% of the time.

 

I used to think this crap was the regular "you are getting old" stuff you have to deal with eventually, like health issues and family stuff

But its not, my dad's friends go all the way to elementary, he's know them for a long long time and still keeps in touch and meets them very often. Same with my mom, the only friend she lost was a girl from highschool that had a degenerative disease and died before I was born, the rest are still there, still in touch.

But my friends? shit I lost contact of everybody from school, and the ones from college are already drifting apart from each other. And speaking of facebook, well:

 

I'll take the heroin.

 

Dad almost has no friends, my mom tries to keep up with a few, I just sit here and see my friends drift apart just like you said or lose significant contact (I have many old friends on facebook, but I never talk to them,) I never cared tbh.

I thought that people were getting more "anti social" because the number of the people they need to contact to survive was falling over the years, but never tought about friends drifiting away.

 

I still remember something a senior (in college) told me:

"When you get older you no longer have friends, you have acquaintances"

And its true, a lot of those college friends who are drifting apart from each other are hanging around with people from work instead, and not just the mail guy but the kind of people that can make them go places....................in theory

All I can say is suckups never get anywhere.

 

Where is Hexigon these days?

 

I know this maybe wrong of me to do, but I would of given you the finger in real life if you said that to my face. When I tell others I can't get a job they say "Have you tried the supermarket, or Mc Donalds?" I'm 21 not 14 I don't have a chance, and I'm on the waiting lists anyway.

I'm registered to 3 job agencies, there just isn't any work right now... I haven't been able to get a job since I was 16 :/ Yeah, and thanks for calling me a loser.... Don't ever become a councillor.

@omp

I'm here man, just haven't turned on the PC in weeks. I have had some PMs from some members asking my wereabouts which is very nice of them, and I'm alright.

@Lamont

Well, for some reason or another I managed to find a lady, and I've been able to share and talk to someone about my current issues which she's in the same boat as I am. We've been discussing here and there and today I feel a lot better then I was when I made the topic. So meeting someone new worked for me and even meeting someone who has similar issues made everything so much better and we can support each other, in fact we are so similar that games is a major topic in our conversations so I don't feel so alone any more. So far everything is slowly starting to speed up again, and I can finally get back to aimming for drivers license and kick job agencies ass into gear...

 

HEX1GON is alive!

i'm in same situation only slightly older with regards to work. and it sucks. getting rejected or ignored by mcdonalds is depressing.

 

More alive than usual!

I honestly don't understand how I can be "not the right person for the job" when I get wrong orders all the time, I think they want shit for brains employees.

 

they do and that's why they have them personality tests during the application rather than aptitude tests

 

Ah nice to hear from you Hexi..!

Yea Macca's etc as weird as it sounds you need to know someone.

 

Eh, I know you were just kidding, but trust me, you wouldn't want to work there anyways. Ya take shit from customers, then you take shit from lazy co-workers, then take some more shit from the manager. You get covered in greese all day and end up smelling like fried food for weeks. The night shift is also fairly dangerous. The only thing good about that job is motivated me to get out and do better.

 

i also come from the same situation; i was mostly alone for a few years now; My only friend(s) were like the same 3-4 people and how funny it was to see them having their own circle of friends, while mine was only based on their's ( get what i mean ).

i too dont have a job. but the reason is a little bit complexed. I'm kinda isolated because of my looks ... or idk, the story that I hold ( in parentheses, my past ) . I too want a job and be good placed in life tho i havent got , or rather saying found the support needed to go forward.

its funny tho how can i dream about it but not reach it myself !
