Remember Me? My Life Is Finally Doomed After Studying Psychology (2) (3) (4)
Am I Doomed? by Nifemy4(m): 7:55am On Aug 05, 2024 |
Am i doomed? i am 34 years old without a solid skill whatsoever, i got a first degree, worked as a customer care agent since 2016 in a private firm. i am literarily soaked in the ocean of regrets, i had wanted to quit to pursue other dreams and invest time to acquire new high rated skills , but i was scared of the unknown. now 34 years gone by, how can i even think of getting married with such a shallow skill. i am lost and confused... no insults please, i am pained already. |

Never too late to start , don't quit your job yet because learning new skill is capital intensive ,use your current job to fund your new skill. take online courses on a tech skill |

Nifemy4: I sense a deep feeling of frustration and regret in your words. However you must understand that You're not doomed! Unless u just want to be At 34, you're still relatively young, and many people have successfully transitioned careers or acquired new skills in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. So yours cannot be different Take a deep breath and let's break this down: Acknowledge your strengths: You have a first degree and 8 years of experience in customer care. These are valuable assets! Identify your interests: What are your other dreams and passions? Make a list, no matter how wild or impractical they may seem.They can always be handy to help you make helpful progress in life. Explore new skills:: Research high-rated skills that align with your interests. You can start with online courses or certifications to test the waters.The good thing is that these courses are easily available online and offline. Take small steps: Don't feel pressured to quit your job immediately. Start by dedicating time outside of work to learn and explore new things that aligns with your experience and interests. Seek support: Just like you have done here, talk to trusted friends, family, or a mentor about your feelings and aspirations. You might be surprised by the encouragement and guidance you receive. Marriage and skills are not directly correlated: Your worth and readiness for marriage aren't defined by your skills. Focus on personal growth,and making more money as get fulfillment in your purpose and the right person will appreciate you for who you are. You have today and you can start now. Don't give way to despair at this young age. 1 Like |

You have a first degree and a job to your name in these trying times and you dare ask if you are doomed.. Wait till you hear other people stories, then you would thank God for your life.. I know for a fact that there are at least 1 million people ready to snatch and grab that job of yours if you quit. Be happy with your current state why you strive for more progress.. The problem is that you are feeling bad because you see many people who are more well to do than you but at the same time failing to realize that there are people happier than you that you are more well to do than. Just blame life for being too hard and move on. Nor overstress yourself because You self don try |

You're not doomed! It's never too late to start acquiring new skills, pursuing your dreams, and creating a fulfilling life. Here's a reality check: - Many people change careers or acquire new skills in their 30s, 40s, or even 50s. - Your customer care experience has likely honed your communication, problem-solving, and empathy skills – valuable assets in many industries! - Having a first degree is a solid foundation. You can build upon it by learning new skills or pursuing further education. - Regret can be a powerful motivator. Use it to drive positive change! Consider these steps: 1. Identify your interests and passions. 2. Explore in-demand skills that align with your interests (e.g., coding, writing, design, data analysis). 3. Start learning through online courses, tutorials, or workshops. 4. Network with people in your desired field. 5. Set realistic goals and celebrate small victories. 6. Don't be afraid to seek guidance from mentors or career coaches. Remember, getting married is a personal decision that shouldn't be solely based on your career status. Focus on building a fulfilling life, and the right person will appreciate you for who you are! You're not lost; you're just at a crossroads. Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and start moving forward. Good luck! 2 Likes |
