It’s not the worst thing that could possibly happen to you in life obviously life could always be worse than most peoples current situation but that statement won’t always make any situations better to deal with. First you realize without a car you are screwed and have to rely on everyone else to get around whether it’s family, friends or ride sharing platforms like Lyft, Uber etc.
I’m literally stuck i live in a non walkable state that is Florida. This isn’t New York City or somewhere similar where walking is considered the norm. I live in the suburbs so everything is miles apart so even a simple run to a grocery store would be like 10+ minutes away by car. By foot it would be very far majority of everything would equate to hours by feet.
This situation will make you miserable because you realize there’s nothing else you can do except be stuck inside all day. You can’t hop in the car and listen to music and go on a nice drive. You can’t link up with anybody unless you go with a friend and they pick you up. You depend on people to get to and from work. Family don’t wanna help you barely
You end up wasting money to get to and from work. Friends won’t care as much so no point in asking them. Everyday is EXACTLY the same! You wake up and watch videos watch tv maybe eat food and shower and you are back just sitting there for hours and hours and hours.
you go on social media and see everyone out having fun and going places, eating out, going to sporting events, concerts festivals and so on. They are playing sports with friends or they are hitting the bars and clubs at night. All of that stuff goes out the window when you have no car. Taking a Uber or Lyft to anywhere further than a 10-15 minutes is an outrageous price and isn’t worth it. Imagine paying $65-80 just to get 25-30 minutes.
When I remember how great my life was with a car it was fun. I did whatever I wanted, I didn’t have to wait on anybody. I was completely free to roam and loved it. I could pick people up hangout with whoever, even I could date girls. Pick them up, hangout with my guy friends, life was just way better that way. I’m grateful for what I do have but not having a car is the worst thing for me.
