No, this isn't some scientific related thread, its more of a vent/rant. Lately I've been trying to keep my feelings in, and not expose them to anyone else. I have a really good friend who I can talk to, but she just listens, which is awesome and everything, but sometimes I need someone who listens and gives advice as well.

You're probably wondering, "why the heck is she talking about this friend, and the meaning of life?" Well, let me explain myself.

Lately I've noticed that I get angry quite easily over small things, like when someone comes over to me and asks if I want to join them in a conversation or whatever, and I reply "No, thanks." Then someone else asks me, and once again, I say no. Then another person asks, and then I feel the fire raising inside of me, and I kind of shake, and yell/ or just get worked up until they leave me alone. Like, I understand they want me to be included in things and whatever else, but sometimes I feel that I need alone time, how can I explain that to them, without them having to think I'm some snobby bitch?

Another thing is, with my principal. My parents love her, like literally. Recently she has told my parents that I am "A snob to the other students, I am obnoxious, and I am not very friendly towards other peers. I also made the principal feel bad," because I didn't participate in the Chanukkah party that my school does for the students. When there's a lot of people around I get whats the word, clasterphobic (sp?) and I explained that to both my parents and principal. I really do not understand why my principal would go to my parents, instead of talking directly to me. When I try talking to my parents, they just ignore me, or tell me its all in my head.

I feel that my life is meaningless. I feel that people are looking at me---always. I feel that my parents treat me unfairly. I sometimes wish I never existed.

No one really knows the meaning of life, were here to be here. I personally believe were here to find happiness. The movie "The pursuit of happiness" is a good movie if you haven't seen it.

By meaning you mean purpose. By purpose you mean function. By function you mean use.

And you can use life for whatever you want. It's entirely up to you.

Seriously though I think the reason we are alive is to survive, but because we can make decisions I believe that we are here to survive(as the entire human race) while trying to do whatever the hell we want, by being happy etc

No.
You guys obviously do not understand. If I am alive, I should be happy no? If I am alive, I should be able to experience things, such as love or whatnot. Correct? Obviously I am not happy if I am depressed. Obviously I am not able to gain experience in a whole lot of things, so why am I alive for? To be blamed on perhaps? to be lied to, etc?

If you want things out of life, you're going to have to work for it. Happiness is something you create and which you need to work for. If you're planning on sitting around and waiting for things to magically get better, more than likely nothing will change because you've done nothing. People become happier because they've done something to change their situation.

You can't be negative by saying "Obviously I am not going to gain experience in a lot of things." Negativity gets you nowhere.

Everyone ponders and wonders what the meaning of life is, what their purpose is, and why should they bother living. Although its apparent that our ancestors found a reason to live for what ever reason. Find your reason and put it to good use. There are so many amazing things to experience in life if you're willing to find them.
