I really need everyones help and advice on this life altering decision?

I've hit 30 and realised that my life is going nowhere fast, I'm not really upset about that. The real problem is that, although I'm not anti social, I really feel like retiring from life and getting away from the ignorance is see in society.





Does anywhere have any suggestions where I should go or what I should do?





Sensible answers only please and nothing involving religion as I am an atheist.I really need everyones help and advice on this life altering decision?
A lot of people experience the disconnect. I spend a lot of time by and with myself. This is a chosen thing with me. I just do not find other people's company all that interesting. I also enjoy learning new things and teaching myself how to do new things. When I teach myself, I learn very fast and remember it a long time. I have no trouble with your athiesm, as it strikes me as rather practical and down to earth and logical, even. In answer to your question, I would strongly urge you to keep reinventing yourself by doing the things which appeal to you and if you happen to meet or connect with others along the way, then that is just fine, and everybody gains. I meet new people in restaurants, but it is usually nothing too in-depth. It is just that feeling of enjoying being with others while I dine. Now and then I meet a bright bulb and have a decent conversation. There are lots of intelligent people ';out there,'; and I am sure you will find them just like we all do. It sort of shines through when they open their mouths. You can see it in a person's eyes, too.I really need everyones help and advice on this life altering decision?
In pulling back from society, you will eventually find what you truly want to do next. Thank you for the points. Relax. - Chris! Report Abuse

You can go live in the caribbean or somewhere quiet or the mountains. Or anywhere you can have some fresh air with gardens and green tress. I understand what you mean and i have that problem sometimes. Many people can just be so rude for no reason...
Life sucks...and then you die!
Lots of people go 'haywire' when they reach 30. They think about all the things they haven't achieved etc., etc. You are still young and being 30 isn't the end of the world. Go trekking, get a hobby, go abroad. Tell everyone you're 28! Get a life!
You are feeling the beginnings of mid life crisis...That's all.
I know how you feel.It's like ';stop the planet,I want to get off';.Why don't you try becoming more pro active and find a cause you are passionate about and get stuck in doing something satisfying and rewarding.I felt just like you and I decided to foster kids.10 years later i am still doing it.It is a good platform for challenging ignorance and i no longer feel the frustration you are feeling.Other than that you could travel and combine it with working for a charity or organisation in any Field or subject.Go with your heart and you instincts,push your personal boundaries and have fun.
I found myself in a similar situation a few years back and started studying permaculture. It is so exciting that I have trouble falling asleep at night. I would recommend finding something that you are passionate about to study, not neccesarily in a school setting.
i feel like living in the middle of nowhere,no neighbours for miles
Why did you HIT thirty.


I am about to HIT 60.


What do you suggest?


What ever ' it' is I suspect I may have done 'it' is as I have always believed what I was taught as a child that the 'world was my oyster'


and


where is it written that you must 'socialise with idiots'?


I don't think so somehow.


Save your power hon.
Move to SF, California. You did say get away from the ignorance?


If you can, volunteer with a charity that serves a cause you really believe in.





Good luck :)
go on a trip abroad volunteering to help children or poor communities in developing countries, most just need your time- they wont pay you but will give you a free trip over there and free accomadation.
Maybe you're depressed and you need to see a therapist or something. There are communes out there where you can live with others and be away from society. Just don't go all ';Uni-bomber'; or anything!
Life can be a hard struggle mate. You just have to know what to look for. How are you family members? Have you spoken to them about your worries? You can e-mail me anytime and we'll throw some issues back and forth. Stay off booze if it makes you depressed too.
Perhaps you do just need a change of scenery. Either go away for a vacation, or if you can, move somewhere that is different from where you are now.
