I Feel Like a Loser

Sometimes...

By: LadySarah09
Written on February 21st, 2013
There are times I just feel like a complete loser, and it isn't because I do not accomplish things. It's because of my anxiety. I make friends, and then watch them go, I wish I could just seize the day, sometimes, and try something new. Who cares if I am alone doing it, I just need to get out and experience. Experience what life has to offer, what close friendship, a better paying job, anything out there has to offer because it must be something better than staying in the darkness of my room. I know I have a family that loves me, but they are all 30 to 40 years older than me who just enjoy telling me what I don't know. Life must have other things to offer... I just do not want to feel this way anymore

    Me too..I respect all that you stated, life definitely has other things to offer and it's you that who will find and extract them :) Among what you had said, I believe that the hardest one is finding true friendship (or maybe love) believe it or not, that's what I think. Getting a better paid job can also be tough but, in today's dirty world, it is very hard to find people who aren't contaminated yet... I also believe that, although you don't really need anyone to survive ( I mean, I think you can handle things even if you are alone (I don't know you, but that's what infer from your posts)) a family can more or less help you, even if they love lecturing you! they are more experienced than us and although they may not be perfect, some of their suggestions may be worth listening...

      I agree. I always listen to people's suggestions and advice. I may take it, I may not. But I always bare it in mind while making decisions.
      Thank you for your comment! :)

    Don't feel bad about yourself. Feeling insecure and anxious isn't unusual for someone your age. When you think about all the big projects you want to finish, you might be overwhelmed, and thus never take the first step out of fear of failure. What may help you, is to focus on accomplishing little things, which will boost your confidence. For example, your goal may be to read self improvement books for an hour a day. That may sound impossible at first. What you can do is start out by reading 10 minutes a day, then gradually working up to an hour. The benefits will be manyfold. You will have developed the discipline of reading every day. You will have expanded your base of knowledge and begun to question the circumstances of your life by reading self improvement books. And, you will feel a sense of accomplishment because you achieved and finished something, even something as minor as reading every day.
    If I may, I'll suggest that you read The Art of Non- Comformity by Chris Guillebeau (not sure about the spelling of his last name ). It's a thought provoking book that I wish had been published when I was your age. Even if you don't agree with what he says, it will certainly get your wheels turning.
    Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
