I think I know what you mean....sounds like what i'm going through. For me, it's part social anxiety/low self esteem, and part depression.
Lately i've felt bored with life. I don't enjoy the things i used to, i don't seem to fit in anywhere, and even my relationship with my boyfriend seems dull and lifeless.
Maybe it's because i'm at a weird phase right now. I became a parent at the age of sixteen, and was forced to become an adult without realy knowing how. I still am trying to adjust. I don't have many friends, because as a mother, I can't hang out with the college kids and get drunk every weekend, and as a 23 year old, I don't fit in with older parents. There are a few younger parents around (even fewer that actually ACT like parents), but none of them seem to want to put forth the effort of a friendship with me. I wonder if I am that much of a burden?
I am not currently happy with my situation, but there's not a whole lot i can do to change it right now.
I really hope I am not doomed to a dull life. I want to be more than content. Content is boring.
