i dont like who i am
hello,
i feel like i dont like who i am. I dont feel like i do good enough with my school and my hobbies. i dont like my lack of social skills. i feel like i am just getting sick of myself sometimes.
i am stuck at the moment because i want to be better but i just keep failing. i feel like a failure! i feel like a *** failure every single day!!! im so sick of being so mediocre: im never anyone’s first choice for anything because im so mediocre. im never the one who gets recognition for anything i do because it just always (and i mean always) gets overshadowed or just put down. it just gets so *** draining - it really does.
why do i not improve with anything? i feel so useless all the time. i mean just so utterly useless. i try to focus on what i do right and it just makes me more angry with myself because its just not ever good enough. idek what im trying to say with this post because really its just a personal issue but i just have no idea what im doing. i have no clue what is wrong with me and it just makes me so sick. i want to be the best at everything i do and all i ever get is disappointment because ill just be so average.

and for the social skills aspect - i had forgot to add this:
i mean my social skills are just bad to say the least. my conversations feel so awkward so often that i just stay quiet. and when i do talk i dont add anything useful/interesting to the conversation. or ill talk over someone. or ill just say something that doesnt even relate. i feel like i just dont ever know what to say.

@slixy it sounds like you’re feeling really frustrated. Not only frustrated but really hard on yourself.
Hi @slixy . I’m sorry about what you’re going through. When I was reading your thread, I remember also feeling this way and saying all those negative things about myself too. It has been this way for me for the past 13+ years. I know how easy it is to fall into our negative thoughts, but it will become much more harder to pull away from if fallen for a long time.
It’s also really okay if you’re not best at everything. And wanting to be appreciated for your efforts, I also felt that too. I just want you to know that you’re not alone in this.
Sometimes we may feel like failures or the world hasn’t been treating us right, but I believe it’s very courageous of you to share with us what you’re going through and what you’re struggling with. So I hope you’ll be able to get all the support you need during your hard times.
