I just watching an episode of angel last night, it had a good quote in it
you never really know how strong you are until you've been tested
Strength is how you deal with things, or bringing things about, not what has happened to you IMO and I don't see strength in how I have dealt with things.
I also struggle greatly with simple things such as homework and making friends, which chips away at my self-esteem, I often feel as though I was not cut out for this world.
Those are my thoughts.
I wish I didn't feel so helpless and ineffectual at life.
How did you did you deal with things?
but regardless you dealt with them and that takes strength instead of leaving something hanging and unresolved
also homework, espically at our age is no simple thing anymore, it's a pain in the ass, it takes a lot of **** work,
and I have trouble with it as well
I've got finals on monday and I'm surfing the net, I don't think that makes me weak I think that makes me a regular student that hates having to do homework and would much rather do other things,
i don't want to jinx myself, but when time is running out, and it's do or die, so far I've always been able to finish my homework and pass the class with a decent enough grade
also if you have trouble with homework you should try asking your professors for help
I had to email my professor twice and I just met with him during office hours to get help on my project and he gave me some tips and said that I what I got was pretty good so far.
making friends is also pretty hard, so many social customs and norms and cliques
everyone has trouble with these things
try not to be so hard on yourself, and try to be confident,
even if you don't feel confident just fake it till you make, and eventually you might even start feeling confident for reall
