My life has been futile and in vain.?

what do you think?

My life has been really a rough ride.

My parents fought everytime and have been annulled 8 years already. I don't care about the annulment but they are still fighting each other bcoz of a house that's supposed to be mine.

My past life in the Philippines had been so empty...

I'm a top student (on a normal class)but, nobody really cared about my skills; all they look at are the star sections (elite genius students) on my school.

I want to experience to be loved when I was still there...

To have a girlfriend and be happy but, when I show my feelings ... all they told me was that they don't like me and sorry (for about 5 attempts already).

they say they just don't like me.

Now I'm here in america, thought I could forget all those past memories but I can't.

My current Job is stressful and my peers (newly met Filipinos/people) feel as if they really don't care whether I go with them or not.

I feel empty...not an Emo, but this is the first time I felt unhappiness.

Update:

All things I indicated above was from the transitions of my life from being a kid to the present me (19 yrs old). I'm working as a nurse assistant and I'll be at school for medical coding this coming april 14.

All I ever wanted is to be happy...

To have peace within me....

TO live a simple yet fulfilling life.

I don't care about being rich, I just want to find happiness and content in my life with the girl of that is good for me.

To wake up everyday and think this life is good enough to live with...

To be able to sleep at night without thinking whether what's going to happen on my future.

I met a girl at the internet (friendster) and she's currently studying at my latter school.

She's really pretty, and I think she's nice too...

she captivated my heart, so i tried to confess to her... thing is I'm far away from my country and all I could tell her is that I really Like her on just a online message that probably won't carry my utmost feelings to her.

Update 2:

I do believe in God... Jesus Christ is also my savior. I hear God speaking to me...

But the pain and loneliness on this world that i'm living is just too great for me.

I ask everyday..In jesus' name, God please give me strength to stand up today and I beg you to lead me the way to happiness and peace.

True, I know God has something for me...

But as if I'm in a tug of war between a voice within me saying "Life will be confusing" and God's word saying "Don't worry about it".

But it's just hard to endure such loneliness and futile effort to win other people's hearts especially with a girl that you like.

I want to be strong, To love and be loved, to serve with what i can do , not, with what should I do so i can win other people's affection.

Am I that so unimportant on this world?

I'm not suicidal... I just want to convey my feelings to you people who can understand.

Update 3:

i'm not going to do any suicide.

God gave, God has to receive.

All I'm asking is your opinion...

sharing so is to say about what my life is similar to you or if you have any suggestions that you could give to me.

I just feel hopeless... this is he first time I felt as if the world is far away from me...

from the real me.

I tried to be original and walk the path of peace.

But as if.... If I try to be genuine, odds are people don't like me at all on the way I am.

I walk the path of peace but

everything that has been passing through me is loneliness and sadness and unhappiness.

I dont want to believe in "Matter is empty, all is vanity" but rather "there's no coincidence but only sheer purpose that we chose on our own".

Is being happy a major violation on being a human being? I know it's not but it is what is being shown to me everyday.

    wow. I feel for because I know what its like to be pretty damn lonely all the time but I know the opposite too. When I'm in college I feel like I can't get away but during summer I I feel to far away from everyone. Sometimes my personality doesnt sync with some people but it attracts the people most like me. As for love you shouldn't look too hard for it. The right person will find its only a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Because I'm a man of science I don't enirely believe in fate, but the girl for you( there are more than one) will come when you put your self in a position to be found. You gotta go to places and be outgoing to meet new people. And just because a girl says no only means that you singled out one more girl not for you. There are so many people in the world that the chances of you not finding good friends and a girlfriend are against you. So just be positive so you don't let yourself down. If people don't like you f*** em', and move on

    Life is beautiful if we are in the Lord path, and it is not in vain that you are in this world. God has a purpose with you.

    "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trust in you. " (Isaiah 26:3).

    If you believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, give your heart completely to Him. When you are born again, spiritually, the peace and joy of the Lord God it is your strengh. When Jesus Christ reing in your heart, your emptiness should be fullfil.

    Your hard times will give you the strength to keep going untill you reach your dreams. It is like reaching the stars. Do not worry about what other think about you, just keep going.

    Read the Bible and meditate in the word of the Lord, for God to give you wisdom, and tell the Lord Jesus Christ to guide you, and to take all your trouble away from you, but you have to believe that it is done. The word of the Lord it is like water, that clean your mind of bad thoughts.

    Always pray and give Him all your worries and circunstances and you will see the answer to your prayers.

    "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."(Jeremiah33:3)

    God bless you

    This may be signs of clinical depression. I would recommend seeking mental health services in your area. However, if thoughts turn to self harm at any time you need to immediately go to the nearest hospital or police station and request a crisis screening.

    Your life is not futile! You have God! Take this period to spend more time with Him. Also, try volunteering. If you're alone, need something to do and are Christian then why not?
