What do you want out of life?

Post Reply New Topic

Good stuff!

i love my life the way it is, so i don't wish for it to be even more perfect than it already is.

ok i know i often get teased and/or hated at work by people and i do sometimes throw fits and get angry at them, but that still doesnt destroy me mentally. i live in a nice, sunlit bungalow with my husband who isnt rich but is a good provider, and we both love each other as a loving couple and soul mates, and we are both bus-drivers, which is what we enjoy. also he takes me on at least two holidays a year.

so yes, i am happy. my life is what i always wanted it to be. well i know both my parents are already dead which was heartbreaking for me, and my sister lives at the other side of the country with a family of her own. but my husband is more understanding and accepting of my autism than what my parents were.

The typical stuff. I want to live a happy life, with a job that sustains me and which I can find some joy in, as well as to pursue my interests, have all of my self-interests met, have good health and to be accepted within society. I don't think it's a lot to ask for. It's not like I'm asking for fame, fortune or exceptional talents. Then again, unfortunately not everybody gets this.

This has been my primary focus for the past 25+ years. And, I assume it will continue to be for at least the next 15 years.



This had been a secondary focus. Though I am not certain if I will ever figure this out.



I like this one. Though, I am not certain I know how to achieve this.

To experience what it is to BE ALIVE.

I want to be in a good financial situation, be very good at one or more things, I want to have a decent among of friends, fall in love and become more NT.

That would be really nice. Also, I want peace and happiness , good health, a secure job or financial security in some form and hobbies and interests that I'm passionate about and enjoy doing.

A fulfilling job that pays enough for me to live comfortably, success as a writer, and a social life of my very own. I think that if I had fewer struggles, my dreams would be a little bigger. This is enough for now!

don't necessarily 'want' something out of life anymore. I used to strive after goals like expanding my knowledge, contributing to the protection of animal rights, converting my emotional impressions into art, etc., etc.

But now, in part due to some disappointments in my life and expectations that were left unfulfilled, I have eased down a bit on wanting anything out of life. Right now, I primarily focus on 'needs' first; food, water, rent, clothing- and everything else is a bonus. I've come to live life day to day, and I kind of drift along.

I am also into animal rights I love animals!

I hope things get better for you.

This, mostly. I had a fairly fulfilling job - though the money wasn't great - but that fell apart, and I'm currently doing something I don't get much satisfaction from, but at least helps me pay the bills. I also have a hobby I wish I could turn into a job, but I have no idea where to even start, and feel generally paralysed when it comes to changing/improving my life.

I'd also like a good friend or two, perhaps someone to collaborate with, and maybe a romantic partner, though I've no idea whether I'd actually feel comfortable in such a relationship.

And I'd like travel more, though that's simply a question of money, so I guess it's covered by the first item.

I honestly don't know what I want to do in my life. I don't really have any goals for the distant future. The most important thing to me is pursuing my interests. I have no goals of getting a house or a nice car.

This kind of worries me. I'm nearly 30 and I have yet to live on my own. I have a 22 year old car that's constantly on the verge of breaking down. There have been several times I've gotten into legal trouble because I don't seem to recognize or concede the importance of things until I get in trouble for it.

Sad but true, I really want to be left alone to be quiet & pursue my interests.
It is really getting on my nerves that neurotypical people in general are disturbed by how quiet I am. I like being this way! But I don't like the assumptions or the misunderstandings. And I am getting exhausted of compensating...for them, & they don't appreciate the efforts.

I want to FINALLY have my own place.

I want to finish my bachelor's degree in Psychology and work in that field.

I want the money to pay for it.

I just want to be financially secure and be good with money.

I want 2 kids.

I want a good man who will love me for me.

I want to be happy. (I think I am, but this is what I want most of all.)

to feel good and feel safe.
to get as much predictibility out of life as possible.
to not be seen as a burden and to contribute to society in whatever way possible.

To destroy everything. To create nihilism.
