I live in a group home with paid staff. I haven’t accomplished anything in life. I live off benefits. I see my friends with wives and kids and I feel bad I haven’t got this. Do you feel the same?

I just try and pray about it and keep it in my prayers, I am hoping I will be blessed with a loving partner and maybe some little ones one day but its not up to me what happens in this life, it is out of my hands, its all for the greater good they say but idk, I think if I am not blessed with a partner I will have some questions to ask but its not really my place to question (I do want to know why though) I’m hoping its just a timing thing bc timing is key so I am hoping when the time is right my prayers will be answered

I don’t feel bad. I feel blessed to have free time to do the things I love.

Work is more important for me than having a partner.

Praying does nothing.
it helps me make sense of it, helps me in a lot of different ways actually.

Prayers works for me.
Don’t let your friends use you as a scape goat for their own inevitable downside.
I wish I’d progressed in this area as well, but it just wasn’t to be.
One of my old friends is a dean of a linguistics department at an American university. He has written some well regarded textbooks in his field. Another is both a PhD and an MD who helps design medical equipment. My main achievement is being less crazy now than I used to be. I’m back in touch with these two and we exchange pleasantries (yay Facebook!). I don’t try comparing myself to them - misery lies down that path.
I’m doing okay and have nothing to be ashamed about – I’ve been repeatedly knocked down and kept getting back up. I’m proud of that.
