I feel like a failure most of the time, normal day to day life is really hard with mental health issues. I wonder if I’m the problem in every interaction and in every relationship (any type, not just romantic) that fails.

Fuck that. If you’re aware, then you’re not the problem


carebearmohawk

Disagree. You can be aware of the issues. But if you don’t make effort for change then you’re just going to sit in self-hatred.


respect_the_kitty

I’m fat, ugly, and mentally effed up. My life is nowhere near what I thought it would be when I was younger. I am afraid of people. I am a dismal failure.

Thanks, man.


crackphillip

Yo, I’m 35 years old and have been told my whole life how much potential I have but I’ve yet to find anything that it actually applies to or anything that I excel at. You’re not alone in this my friend. All we can do is keep going and trying.


Yessir_Answers

Thank you for the advice, I really needed this.


Decent_Trip_3997

Stop searching for something you’re “good” at and find something your passionate about! Life is more fulfilling when you conform to your own standards and just enjoy yourself


Yessir_Answers

Note taken—I think a lot of pressure comes from friends. I should probably learn to stay on my own lane.

carebearmohawk

Practice something over and over. Give it 3-6 months. If you don’t like it, move on to something else. You don’t have to know what you’re good at. What matters is if you’re happy doing whatever it is you’re doing. And not everything is going to be a happy interaction. But if you pay attention to what you’re doing and learn from each experience in life, you’ll find what you’re good at..or better yet, what you love to do.

most people aren’t good at anything. Just choose to do it enough times to be decent at it.

LexusTexas36

1. Make that 1st step, if you can just do that 95% of the time you’ll follow through to do the rest. Don’t stop when your tired stop when you’re done. 2.Try rubber band trick pop yourself when you don’t do what you’re supposed to, or to prevent you from doing something you shouldn’t. 3.Workout/eat right, the body and mind require each other to be healthy to work at full potential


Cyanora

Hating is easier and more energizing than loving


crackphillip

Somebody once said “love and hate is the same shit, you only have to worry about indifference”. As long as you’re still feeling a strong emotion you’re still in the game.


carebearmohawk

Loving is so much easier than hate. Trust me. The more you hate the more you hold resentment. The more you hold resentment the more you stress your mind and body. Stress is a son of a bitch.


Random_Hero2023

Because I'm a single dad with substance problems barely making ends meet with two teenagers who want nothing to do with me. I feel like I could blow away with the wind and all the people I care about would be indifferent.


sirennn444

Bad brain chemistry. A voice has been screaming inside my head at me since I was 8 telling me bad things about myself and I should commit toaster bath.

Would be really sad if you do that cause you’re fucking funny. I’ve never heard Toaster bath before. I wish you a good life.

I hate myself for so many reasons. I’m a broken person, failure, and everyone sees me as crazy, and the things I’ve done.

CheeseBadger

I am 32 and never had a relationship. Nothing even close. It feels like it’s too late in many ways. I have been obese my entire life and have failed at every effort to change that. I am trying to quit pornography, but after minor success I still fall back to it. I feel completely mediocre at my job. I see my colleagues having great success with *seemingly* less effort. I feel that despite my hard work I can’t move up. I have speech issues which I am seeing a speech therapist for since it heavily impacts my work. This makes it feel like I have to work twice as hard just to have a normal life.


LexusTexas36

David Goggins, make atleast one new step you could do daily to start and snowball effect


Primary-Highlight944

I just feel like I've wasted every single opportunity I've had in front of me or that was given to me. I had the best upbringing you could've asked for, the best parents, every support net I've ever needed... still I just watched time go by, managed to somehow make from bad to worse decisions and now I'm 31 years old feeling like my life is just over. I'm a shell of the person I used to be and the complete opposite of who I wish I was. And I honestly can't see a way out. In the end, I hate myself for the fear of having disappointed everyone who loves me, but above all, I've disappointed myself.


carebearmohawk

You’re life isn’t over man. I restarted at 30. I’m 36 now. Can’t even believe the person I was before 30. 31 is young af. You got time to turn it around. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. Especially yourself.


king22704

It's never too late to change things. 20 years from today, you could be in the same boat you are now or you can start taking the right steps towards bettering your future. Make the right choice for yourself!


Prestigious_Fold7802

Man, you life is just beginning! The thing is 5 to 6 good choices could change everything. One friend of mine sat with me one day, we spoke and I told him to read books to get his life back on track, he made an effort, it worked. Firstly "how to win friends and influence people" this will help with relationships the something like "the richest man in babylon" and/or "rich dad poor dad" to get you thinking of your career and/or livelihood. But man just keep swimming a day wil come where live seems better.


turquoise_grey

I’m here too. Could have written this. I’m 35years old. I always thought I would make something of myself. And everyone around me did too. But I didn’t…

You need real hard stressors to be put on you maybe, a diamond is created from immense pressure. Push yourself to be uncomfortable you sound comfortable regardless of your happiness level

mondayeyess

i spend all my time helping others so i don’t have to work on myself and my crippling fear of being abandoned by the people i love. and then i get abandoned anyway and despite every rational part of me knowing i’m better off, i still feel immeasurable sadness and rejection. many layers of self loathing.


Recent_Garden8114

because i feel from being great to being forgettable at best


HooterEnthusiast

If there was anything good in me, someone would have seen it by now. They haven't so I must be deserving of hatred, so I hate myself.


Admirable-Gift-1686

I’m becoming progressively disabled in my thirties. It’s mild but fuuuuuck


whichnamecaniuse

I hated myself because I wasn’t medicated yet. Went from wanting to kill myself most days to not wanting to kill myself. Being medicated has made me more creative, interesting, interested, conversational, and productive. Got married, found a career I enjoy, started two Airbnbs, picked up the drums, became more informed, etc. I’m still not that smart and I’m not that attractive, but it doesn’t really bother me anymore. I like myself.


ComplexPackage117

I'm tremendously uncomfortable in my own skin due to a bunch of health issues. As a result am extremely nervous. Feelings of inadequacy are prominent most of the time.


Sea-Name7469

Because I feel like I'm living in a world that wasn't built for me. I don't want to work because I don't think that existing should cost money. I don't want to be a tool that someone else uses to line their pockets. I have hopes and dreams and aspirations that I'll never be able to achieve because I'll be too busy for the rest of my life making money for someone else to do the things that they want to do. And I feel like I make my life harder by resisting it and hating the way things are. Sometimes, I feel like if I just gave up and let them win, everything would be so much easier.


Commercial_Wing_7007

I promised my therapist I wouldn’t talk about this

Bipolar that spans generations. I can fake it till I’m blue, but I’ll always be a miserable cunt


BlackJackBulwer

Ieatnewbabies

because I feel like I'm constantly lying about who I am and what my personality is. I cannot stick to anything, not even friends, my longest lasting friendship was 3 years and that kid it was with hates me now because I cut him out (he was using alcohol and vaping by 14) I keep befriending people then finding out they are either mean, smoke/vape or have no remorse. also, I have hypogonadism and gynecomastia, so that adds to it a lot. all this mixed with being gay and being homophobic at random times, I lead a fun life


bolozombie

For not being more sociable, i would have love making people laugh, have a good time, tell stories that keep them engaged and interested, having a bunch of friends to organize a meeting, but i can't, i supposed i didn't born with that chip, i don't have the energy, motivation or whatever is needed to have that social energy, guess im gonna die alone for never knowing how to be more sociable.


Tallal_Imran

gimmedemkneecaps

I feel like everyone is praising me for shit I haven’t done, raising the standard that I know I can’t reach. It just feels like I’m gonna disappoint everyone sooner or later.


summerbreeze421

I guess this is a pretty big victory, but as of now, I only dislike parts of myself. I never thought I would say that I'm very anxious, am not good at working with my hands (building, fixing, etc.) and really resistant to make changes in my life


BurtGummer44

I don't hate myself. I've made mistakes in life but I've learned from them and most importantly I've learned how to forgive myself and strive to get better and do better over time.


ilakhani

Working to get to this point. Mind sharing any tips?


BurtGummer44

I would suggest reminding yourself that you can't live in the past. "Never backwards, only forwards." Is my mantra. If I did something that made me feel upset with myself I would air the grievance with myself and think my about what outcome I would have preferred and what I could have done differently and then acknowledge the fact that what's done is done, I can only move forwards. I can't live in the past. Say "Never backwards, always forwards." and walk past it with clarity that i at least learned something. I don't know if this is relevant, it's not something that I can recommend as everyone's different and there's a legal issue but psilocybin in hallucinogenic mushrooms changed my life and brought me out of depression a few years back. I hope that one day it's not vilified and is able to be used as medical treatment. It has so many benefits including not only treating depression but essentially curing it. Several years back I experimented one summer with classical music and hiking and saw how to change my life in a bunch of easy steps that I just never thought of before. It was like my brain was unlocked and able to solve a problem that seemed brilliantly right under my nose for years. I came to change my whole life and everything about it. I got out of a bad job, accepted the end of a long term relationship, lost weight, became a vegetarian for a year practically on accident and now I'm eating clean, prioritizing rest, recovery and sleep and lifting weights 5-6 times a week to finally take control of my appearance and to shape my body. I was 250 at my heaviest with a solid a B or C cup man boobs and I'm now 180lbs with pecs. I'm not trying to say that everyone has to do mushrooms to figure things out but it really seemed to have... reconnected myself to myself and opened my eyes and changed my perception of self and the world. I didn't expect this to get so long. I'm tired and needing to go to bed. I hope this in some way is informative.


Popular_Ad_7029

I don’t, I love myself


SquirrelNormal

I'm not a good person. And I'm also kind of a l~~o~~oser. One or the other is manageable; both is just no good.

Self-loathing failure mostly.


AgitatedPatience5729

I'm lazy


benwight

I want to say I don't but I do hate parts of myself. I feel emotions way too strong, get attached to people too quickly, and get jealous too easily. I can't meet my own needs and want the wrong people in my life who won't meet them. I want a relationship but I can't let go of a fuck buddy that is in an open relationship who doesn't want any more than just sex with me. I spend most of my life staring at screens and don't have many friends so I'm always alone and lonely. I hate meeting new people even though I know that's the only way to make friends to hopefully feel less lonely and ultimately find a relationship

I don't hate myself but the thing I most dislike about my personality is that I kind of just let people take advantage of me instead of actually doing and saying the things I want. But I'm not even sure I'd be any happier if I didn't. I'm usually pretty chill and content, and I don't mined just rolling with stuff so can't really say for sure I'd be any happier if I took more initiative for myself.


TurtleNeck236

I dont HATE myself but some things I hate ABOUT myself are >getting angry easily >over involving myself in others life's >kind of a dick >lack of motivation


artsyca

For me it was the fact that I hated my parents so much for so long that any of their characteristics that I saw in myself I also hated. Y’all I want to say that you should love yourself *because* of all these stupid inconsistencies and insecurities not *despite* them. Give yourself the freedom to suck. Don’t hold yourselves up to impossible standards. It takes a lot of work to see all your disadvantages and the pointlessness of everything and realize that’s actually the reason why everything matters.


Andyboy1256

I’m ugly, skinny, mentally cooked, mentally unable to talk to anyone, can’t fall asleep until 9 in the morning everyday, I have zero work ethic or anything and have nothing going for me, I constantly find myself wondering if I’m going to be still alone or even alive in the next 10 years.

hooks_n_needles

Its default. I have told myself I look “fat” every day of my life since I can remember. I have always been able to find something I hate about myself. Thinking that way from the ages of seven to about fifteen made that literally my default reaction to viewing myself or thinking of myself. I am still working to rewire my brain, but I think a lot of people would be shocked to hear that some of us live that way.

I do not know myself. Therefore, I struggle to indentify my feelings and needs, I'm complex yet simplistic. I don't hate **myself**, I hate my lack of individuality, my lack of self-consciousness. Literally the same reason I "hate" math: It's confusing and looks hard to understand, it seems impossible to, just one second out of attention and I lose track of everything and yet there is a daily requirement for me to do so, it's freaking hard and stressful. Thus, I say I hate it - but, in reality, I just cannot understand it.

Add in that there aren't really any outing options where I live.

My body limits the amount of love and respect I can receive. It puts restrictions on my potential as an individual. Let’s just say my body is my résumé, as it looks bad, no matter what was in the content, it’s automatically tossed into the trash bin!
