Frustrated with a friend

Happiness is just a state of mind. It depends on how you interpret things. Your friend is right, if you want to change something, change it. Of course changing is not easy. You don't just snap your fingers and then you're a changed man. I'm thinking the reason you're frustrated is because you want to change but you don't know where to start, or probably, you think that you don't have to change. WRONG. First, you should change the way you think. Don't get discouraged. Just try and try and always think positive. Don't try something thinking that you'll just fail. When you want to try something, be prepared for it. Plan ahead. Have a back-up plan. If you're going to an interview, make sure you look presentable. Research the company, leave a good impression. Answer properly and be politically correct.

Hi there, all of us have been encountered such situation in the different period of our lives,you are not alone,so the key point is how to change it.we are not innate problem solver ,but we have the ability to find out what's wrong with us.keep delivering surveys and make a progress every day,there is no easy way to approach success,but self-abased is the biggest enemy of doing every thing.no doubt,no hesitate,face opportunity and chanllenge ,dare to do what can head for the success,good luck!

I feel the same way. I'm not unemployed right now but sometimes wonder why I even bother working. With a job or not, I still can't pay my bills. Things are definately not like they use to be. I use to be able to afford everything I have with a little room to eat out every now and then but it's far from being like that. All I can say is good luck and try to keep your chin up.

I know how you feel things are hard out there. I'm currently working full time and have a little side job going but not enough for living in a city. My rent recently went up and I'm constantly looking for ways to save. The best advice I have for you is to keep trying hopfully you find work soon.

I agree with you friend. But i dont hard work like you. Because there have not profit. So i using a mobile and gprs connection and work another site. Mylot payment is very cheap. If you know any other site where i can earn lot please inform me. As soon as possible

I understand how you feel. Right now, I'm a stay at home mom, but before when we first moved to where we live, I was unemployed for almost 2 years. When I finally did get a job, it was one that treated me like crap, but at least I had one! I hate that, I mean I know your friend is well meaning, but things like that don't help. They don't make you feel any better and if anything, they just further irritate you. I'm sorry you're going through so much, and I hope you can find something soon!

I understand exactly what you are saying. Usually people are well-meaning, but when they are not in your position, they just don't get it. It can be very frustrating to hear people say, "Just do it!" Sometimes when I confide something in someone who does not get it, I wish I hadn't. Yet, you want to get it off your chest. I probably shouldn't say this but the next time that person is in a similar situation, don't forget to tell them to just go out there and do it.

Dear friend, I certainly do not want to weigh my problems, because I see that you too, you've had enough. The only thing I would like to inform you, however, lies in the fact that, more or less than you and Ime are in the same situation. I too am at the age of 37 still unemployed, and at the time with no prospect, even for a job in the immediate future. I spend a lot time just to Mylot, because even if it does not give me enough money to "live", I consider it a very interesting site on the exchange of opinions. The only thing I can advise is to try to think positive. is a bad time for the world economy now, we hope that something will better soon.

Hello crimsonladybug, Unemployment certainly is the worst thing a person face in life.I had been unemployed for 4~5 months in the starting of my career and i know how i spend those days of humiliation from my friends.I almost went so down that being an engineer i was ready to do any sort of job if i have got those days.The best thing at that time was i was not married and had no responsibility of family. Only my parents were there for me who supported and motivated me to search jobs and finally i got the job. The best thing you can do is to search a job and don't loose hopes once you will loose hopes certainly you won't be able to rise from there.

Iam currently a stay at home mum but luckily, my husband earns enough money to get us going. I know how it feels when searching for a job without success. I just wish you find a job soon. I wish you luck.

I know how you feel crimson, it's a frustrating situation to be in and an unhelpful response such as 'just change it' doesn't alleviate any of your fears or worries. My man is unemployed, he has been for about 2 years or more now since the downturn in the economy here. He used to be a plasterer and although every once in a while a day or two of work crops up, he rarely gets paid for it and even when he does it's not what he's owed. He gets one night a week (down from 4 nights) in a local bar doing security, but other than that, all he has is his unemployment. I'm part time employed, with the potential for full time when one of my colleagues goes on maternity leave in a few months, yet all in all, we'll still have the same income as it will result in his benefits being taken away, it balances out. I'll be working full time but to no extra means. I hope you manage to find a job soon, I really do feel for you, it's a painful situation to be in. Don't let anyone else's comments get you down, I'm sure no harm is meant in it. They simply don't understand.
