Does anyone want to come camping with me?

Roswell

I'm deeply unhappy but do not know what to do.

I don't know what my role is within humanity.

My neighbours have been mean to me many times and I'm getting to the point where I feel utterly miserable. I'm on the verge of buying a tent so I can pitch it on wild moors etc. to stay the night sometimes to escape them.

But I don't really know what to do with my life. I have a short attention span. OCD. I like the idea of going around in a tent but keeping clean etc. frightens me. So would probably just pitch the tent somewhere, stay, then come back home.

Or find people who would let me stay in their back garden a while, use their bathroom and kitchen, then move on again.

I sense other people are getting so much more out of life than me and I feel depressed. My neighbours have been nasty to me despite one neighbour having a partner and a BMW. Also lots of people do not accept me, well I just want to spend time with people who will engage in projects with me without subjecting me to hypocrytical judgmental bull.

  • I often have thoughts like this. In my mind it doesn't have a start or an end but it's a picture of myself hiking, just walking all day, completely free of encumbrances and most material things, in the countryside or around an island. A deep desire to get away. Just meet people in the countryside and nod and say hello then pass on.  I guess i just find life too much sometimes.  My fantasy involves stopping at friendly little B&Bs etc, also never getting blisters, which is a bit unrealistic. 

    I don't think my partner would accept it, but nevertheless the desire to do it is sometimes very strong.  It's a bit less at the moment because it's 12 degrees and raining outside. 

    I don't need many material things from day to day, at least they don't make me very happy.

    It's good to have your response Plectrum thank you.

    I feel whether it's real or not that I always seem to be disappointing people or not living up to expectations. I don't want to hurt myself or other people, it's that yearning to get away as you put it.

    Have you ever asked your partner about doing it?

    I've been watching quite a few documentary films on Prime where people go in a car, van or on bikes on journeys and sleep outside hotels and the usual tourist experience, whether it's in their car or a tent or in people's homes.
