I have a different outlook on life than my close friends.

Tonight i was hanging around with 3 of my closest friends, we are all 21 and have known each other since high school which makes it 7 years.

Anyway when i came to the place where we usually hang out 2 of my friends were completly drunk. They have been drinking since 3 pm and we met at 7 pm. This wouldn't have been a big deal if they didn't do the same fvcking thing everyday, but they do. Every single day they drink a minimum of 10 beers outside, they don't go to clubs or anything like that just drinking outside near some alcohole store and then waisting the rest of their money in a casino.

So tonight they berated me for not joining the drinking because i don't see the point in doing it everyday and i should loosen up. I mean yeah i like to drink but once a week in an ocassion when we go out.

I adopted the fitness lifestyle, eating healthy, busting my ass in the gym and i'm looking and feeling better than ever. And yet they think im wasting too much money on food etc. while they are getting fatter cause of excessive drinking and not giving a fvck about anything else..

It's funny that i appear weaker than the rest and a pvssy when i don't drown myself in beer. Isn't the point in life being the best you can be? While enjoying life? I don't see accomplishing that whilist turning into an alchoholic...

I have goals i'm working on and want to accomplish. I want to make myself succsessful and have an enjoyable life. And i don't want liver and kidney faliure by the time im 30 lol

This post has no point, it turned out to be my semi rant, but what do you all think of excessive drinking and that way of thinking?

They are self-anesthetizing likely because they think that the tooth fairy or their mothers are going to make their lives happen.

You need not join them.

Find some new friends

@Tictac That is spot on. They want to have a lot of money and live luxorious, like that doesn't require busting your ass day in day out. I won't be joining them that's certain it's just that, this kind of attitude from them pisses me off even though i generally don't care what anyone says or does. Im too busy trying to make something out of my life. You are totally right.

@Young OG Haha yeah that thought is lingering in my head. Surround yourself with positive succsessful people in order to be succsessful right?

Friends are good man. I mean your friends aren't perfect but doesn't mean they should be an obstacle to you doing what you want in life.. You don't need to necessarily drop your friends to make new ones. Remember that.

Start hanging around people that carry the same mindset as you.. and when your current friends see you progressing and doing good, you might even inspire them

Friends come and go. I don't hang out with anyone from when I was 21 now. Try to find some friends that share similar interests. It's sounds like you are moving forward in life, while your friends are at a stand still.

@Mot1veProgress I understand what your saying and i agree that friends are not bad by any means at all. They are good guys but they seriously lack motivation to do anything seriously. I hope i will inspire them, i'd hate seeing them fail at life miserably. Thanks for the input

@Young OG Sadly it appears so. I now understand that as we grow and mature we sometimes need to leave someone behind, they aren't pulling me back per se but it will be better for me to surround myself with similar people. People who are hungry for succsess. Thanks for the advice man, this board is truly life changing.

Just another example of Crab bucket mentality.

You remind me of myself when I was a young man. I had a lot of friends who's main focus in life was getting trashed. I'd be lying if I said I didn't do my share of participating in that. But there came a time when I saw the dead end of it, and I wanted more. So I walked away from that, and worked toward my own ends. It's admirable that you have goals. My guess is that you are going to make something of yourself, and I wish you the best of luck.

Ahh the good old "If i can't have it neither can you". Shame if they really think that way, but oh well i can't do nothing about it.

It means a lot reading this. It is exactly like that from word to word, i get that we are young and we are supposed to party etc, but at the end it really serves no purpose. I still do it from time to time to relax and enjoy myself, meet some girls haha but i'm much more focused on getting where i want to be. Thanks for encouraging me i really appreciate it And by reading this i'm certain that you accomplished your own goals and are a succsessful man

Having friends is good, but hanging out with old friends is overrated. You might be able to inspire them or make them increasingly insecure and jealous. I am cutting off all my friends because they are boring and don't do crap and they work lousy jobs 9-5 and it just irks me that they don't want more out of life. Even missed 2 of my boys birthdays call it rash, but i'm working on myself instead of wasting my time with non sense. I want to own my own business one day i'm a budding entrepreneur, don't want to be around conformists

I feel the same way. It irks me that they don't have any motivation to change things, discover new things in life, they are just happy to be where they are at and on top of all that they are destroying their bodies with over the top drinking. Whenever i talk about positive mindset and mentallity, trying to explain that it's all in the mind and positive believing they laugh it out like im crazy. So i completly understand what you are saying man. Keep on working and griding, i'm sure you will accomplish everything you set out for. We really do need more hungry for succsess people out there.
