I feel like a total failure. I never will be as smart as people think I am or want me to be. I try so hard to do things right, but I always mess up. It's really disheartening when I know I can't live up to my own standards. I feel really worthless.
 
in some aspects of my life, i feel like an unmitigated failure. but this is tempered by powerful feelings of satisfaction regarding other achievements I have made and parts of myself that are positive.

Through patient perseverance, I believe that I can overcome my failure with success, however this might manifest. keeping an open mind about the endless possibilities out there also helps me feel like less of a failure. :)


 
There are those of us caught up in this dark depression that keeps us from being more social. The medical community means well w/ our meds but each of us our body chemistry is different so what works for one won't for another. It's truly a guessing game. I've been on meds for 20 yrs and the blind is raised some but not all the way. For me I think a lot of it is hormonal but I won't take meds for that. I just have to accept the facts as they are and try to keep going. I too am not motivated to do a darn thing in my place. I just don't give a ****. The place is clean-just passsed inspection. But the dishes may sit in the sink a week before doing them on my own time-no one elses...That's all the psycho babble for today folks. lol
 
yes, its a phase that every human felt some in time to time.

i think this is about the lack of introspective , nobody teach u how to make a good and achievable(lool, this word exists!?!? ) goal, all we have is a standadrized one that just focus on vanal stuff (be the alpha,be the smartest,be the richest,be the popular,be the <insert_idol_model> )

Just dont get discouraged and look forward, try to find ur abilities and "level them up", if posible go to an specialist, not like u r crazy or something, but to help u to know ur real potencial .
 
Please try not to use others input as a yardstick as to how you're doing. TA says"I'm feeling bad and if I can make you feel as bad as I'm feeling-then I'm ok". I other words don't let ppl dump on you. My experience is if someone is being unkind and asks a hurtful question (they usually already know the answer) I turn the tables on them and ask -why do you ask? Puts an end to that situation, fast. Don't get me wrong it has taken many years to begin to figure some of these ppl's behavior out but once I do I'll beat them at their own game-yea baby!!!!!!!!

See here's the thing, no matter what I do and no matter how hard I try I always seem to feel like a failure. I feel as if I haven't achieved anything in my life and that I never will. I also feel like a failure towards the few friends that I have, I never can find the right words so I always stay silent. I often lay in bed because I think what's the point?

Do I feel like a failure? Sure I do. Most of the time, every so often when others spout tales of their success in love, money and whathaveyous. In the dark corners of my mind, there's always lurking this phantom, a demon known as the Inner Childe, which points a finger at me after unplugging it from it's nostril and says 'You suck.' Sometimes I listen to the little *******. Sometimes, I ignore that little voice.

It helps to have small projects, small achievements along the road. Doesn't have to be a life-sized ice replica of the Imperial Russian Winter Palace. A small drawing or a good meal, anything does the trick to remind me that maybe I don't suck all that much, still can get some things right. And when the cowpats hit the fan and the house of cards falls apart, it does a world of good to swear a bit and grumple, but start over after a while.
