I'm aware I'm the only person who can answer this question but it bothers me how predictable and boring I am. I feel like I can not free myself from my shyness. I can't let go and walk around proudly myself because I am not sure who I am. Yes I am teenager but I feel so stagnant. Now I want to go out there and become promiscuous, do drugs, and drink to feel free. I feel I'm stuck I can't do anything. I feel I'll always be the same and I'll never change. I know this is a horrible wish but sometimes I wish someone close to me would die so I just wake up to reality. i take life as a joke or way too seriously. I do not understand anything. I feel hopeless. I AM NOT CONSIDERING SUICIDE because I feel like I can change but I do not how. that's why i want something traumatic to happen to me to wake me up. It's like nothing can get through to me. People advise about this since forever and I never change because I can't. I know being selfish to wish a death of a family member for my own change. I sound like a crazy person. I need some HARD-CORE ADVICE. Thanks.
the reason change is so difficult (i didn't actually read the big paragraph - too long - , i just read the question)
is because we live and get used to things the way they are, so it is hard to lose all that, and completely turn your life around. The case of the unanswered question.::
So don't count on a date range search staying consistent from day to day. The " daterange: timestamp" can change when a page is indexed more than once.

Wow, I can totally relate to that - I remember having a wish that something bad would happen to *me* though, like losing an eye or a finger. I did experiment with drugs and drink, and I actually did find that it could be the jolt to my system that seemed to move me into a new phase. But there's no reason why you have to do something destructive.
Two things:
1 your fantasy of bad things happening is normal. You are ready to be tested and to learn about yourself, and experience is where it's at. Even bad experience. Your instincts are dead on.
2 You've learned so far that you grow best when bad stuff happens to you, that is beyond your control. But are you ready to go after your own growth experiences? Self-destructive stuff like drugs works, sure, but the experience is so superficial -- looking back I feel it was all pretty lame, stereotyped teen hijinks, wannabe-cool stuff, not freedom; and besides, it damaged my brain subtly in ways that I think matter even today. What if you were to break out and bring a positive and safe challenge, a radical jolt into your life? Something you'd remember forever? Go learn to do something really hard - something you don't think you can do, that takes a lot of effort, like acrobatics or Japanese. Or go alone on a survival backpacking trip (with communications of course so if you got lost you could be found promptly). Or build a cabin in your parents' backyard by yourself, putting in as many amenities as you can afford or find on the cheap, learning as you go how to DIY. Focus your energy into something creative that will challenge you to real mastery and real freedom. Life will deal you plenty of blows in good time, that will bring you to understand what is really important to you and how you can handle drama -- but before you know it, you'll be wishing you'd taken advantage of your youthful stamina and flexibility, to try things that harden your self-discipline and self-confidence, too. Those are real changes of growing up that I think we neglect, trying to just get by with cultivating enough fortitude to handle adversity.

I'm afraid I'm too old to know if this advice will come off sounding too rah-rah. I'm sorry if it does. But I dare you anyway, to go outside your comfort zone in a positive way. Nobody cares about you like you do; nobody's ever going to hold up the hoops for you to jump through. Only you can really seize the freedom you have, and go after your life.
you're too young, things will change believe me,
give it time
well. you see, change is difficult because you are so used to being in a certain way, that it's difficult to start being different.
learn to be brave. and being brave-courageous means not having any fear.
Fear is the feeling that leads in today's world. you are shy because you think people won't like you. it is wrong to believe that way because you are unique. a unique individual and believe me: NO ONE IN THIS WORLD CAN CHANGE YOUR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE! no one. even if they don't like you, they have no power over you. because YOU ARE. you exist. you are an eternal being part of the universe. you are a part of the big picture! look outside yourself and you will see yourself. look inside you and you will see the world! stop being led by society. think for yourself! think justly. don't let the tv and ads drive your desires. drive yourself.
It's only as difficult as you choose to make it. Maybe someday, you'll see that.
Hard question. Probably the answer is simply "time". Things will look differently when the time is ripe. However, in the meantime, make sure that you don't make mistakes that cannot be reversed or forgotten.For example, if you decide to become promiscuous make sure you don't get pregnant (are you a girl?) or get AIDS. If you decide to do nothing for some time or make a long trip, make sure you don't quit school for good... What I mean is, sometimes it is positive to do crazy things but in an underlyingly planned way. Take care of your health, get ready to pursue a career in the future, and enjoy your family.... Mistakes or crazy years are normal, just don't do things that you might regret for the rest of your life. By the way, I'm 46 and feel very confused at this moment of my life too...... Nobody would guess it though.
Some answers r given by the nature and she is in no hurry after all fruits flowers take their own time . If u r really a teenager then it is a mental position of this age which will go by the time and u will be able 2 see the things rightly. If u r not a teenager then u r a good thinker . Go on . The moment will come and u will get the solution from inside. Let the thoughts ripen more.
u r not urging someone's death , when we love someone very much then departure from that also comes in the mind quite often. Try meditation so that your thoughts may have a correct direction.
