Who here REALLY feels like they have made an impact on someone else's life?



I've pretty much been where I am at for the last five years. Not exactly stagnant but not moving towards where I should be. While I know a shitload of people as friends and even more as acquaintances, I don't think I have really made any impact on any of these people's lives to where they'd be any different if I wasn't around.


It's really quite depressing... but it makes me think 'what am I doing with my life!?'


Would any of these people really miss me if I was gone or be THAT impacted by my actions or influences on them?


I don't know anymore... I really don't. I'm wondering if it's more of a reflection of the people I have met or if it's more of a reflection of who I am right now?





Anyone feel the same?



EDIT: Also I am not being emo or suicidal... just really wondering where I am right now and where some of you might be.

 

That's a good topic, and it makes me wonder myself at times. I have a few very close friends, and a lot of people I know, but at the same time, I think we're all still distant from each other.

The way I see it, worry about what you're doing for yourself, before how your existance is impacting others. Your friends, your family, etc don't live your life, you do.

For my current problems, I'm torn between women, three of them actually. The mother of my daughter, don't get me wrong, I'm there for my daughter, but I don't want to be with her mother. A girl who I fell for years ago and I'm trying to patch things up, and a new girl in my life who I want to take things farther with. So I have a lot of shit happening.

 

Same here, Erik. If I died tomorrow, I'd be forgotten in a few weeks.

 

Wow.. I'd like to think that although I probably haven't "changed" people for better or worse, I think the memories of the fun times we shared would bring smiles. That's really all I could ask for.

In all honesty, I remember in vivid detail, the few but fun occasions the HAN'ers got together beyond the net. In retrospec, maybe you unknowingly motivated someone to act upon a tentative decision based on something you posted... I suppose the best way to look at it is that although you can't subtantively prove you've made a direct impact/ change to another member's life, you can believe that there is a good chance something you said may have caused some action.

 

Do you quantify the value of your life to the impact you have made on the people around you?

I also dont think i have had much of a impact... and i too believe 95% of the people around me will forget me in 3 months after my death. But the important part is that 5%

I guess it depends on what you want to get from life. I want a family. I want to work in team to achieve the best for my future family. I feel that once i get that i will be satisfied.

do you think your family will forget you that easily?

 

jay is so smart :hugglez:

 

If I died the world would implode.

 

I have. I've been told so, by several. :shrug:

 

HAN would cease to exist if I died

 

Me too.

I keep typing and deleting my response. :crazyr:
