...See more Hello to Everyone that is reading this. I just wanted to post a gigantic thank you! to all the listeners out there. Ever since I joined this site, I have met so many people that I can talk to. Everyone I have talked to since I joined have been incredibly wonderful. I can't say that I have completely gotten rid of the negativity in my life because sometimes I still have that dark cloud hanging above me, but I can say that being here and talking about whats bothering me helps. Listeners have their own stories and struggles, yet they're their listening to us and cheering us on. I can proudly say that the listeners in this site are little rays of sunshine in my life. They give me hope that I can get back to being happy. I wanna say thank you to the listeners that have been there for me throughout everything . @Bushra @creativecullen54 @stella2298 @June0921 @NewRomantic677 @HeyItsIssie @Opheliacs @BittersweetMemories So when I write the next entry to my "things i am grateful for list," expect you names there . I hope you know how big of an impact you have done in my life. I HOPE THAT OTHERS CAN ALSO USE THIS THREAD TO SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE LISTENERS THAT HAVE MADE AN IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES. THESE WONDERFUL HUMAN BEINGS DESERVE ALL THE LOVE AND GRATITUDE!
Fear of Failure

...See more I used to be easy going. I laughed when I failed a test, and I smiled when I didn't win a medal. Don't get me wrong. I cared about my grades and my accomplishments, but whenever I failed, I just said that maybe it was wasn't meant for me. I was okay with it. I tried harder the next opportunity that I got. But lately, everything I cared about started crashing down. I used to be a president of my high school organizations. I used to be an honor student. I used to date this great great guy. I used to be so much more, but then I lost all of it in a span of a month. I cried. It honestly hurts. I tried joining another club; I was rejected. I auditioned for our track team; they said that they didn't think I was good enough. I used to feel okay about failure, but nowadays, I'm fragile. I feel like a failure. People expect too much from me and I don't know how to handle it. I want to please them and to prove to myself that I am not, but how can I do that when nothing is going right?
