I’ve been having a negative opinion of myself for a while lately, which can cause me to feel particularly down on myself like I’m looking up from a well with no perceived way out. It, however, does not make me in a state of acrimony, which is good. So while I may be joking a lot more now, I’m not joyous. The only time I am in a state of pure happiness is when I’m doing religious things, but I obviously can’t do that all the time.
I think this all stems from my addiction, mental illness, and low self-confidence that I’ve always had. Luckily I am improving on those things with a therapist and other ways. I feel like a complete and utter failure in everything I do.
I’m not good at anything, even though I firmly believe that each man and woman have at least one talent or gift. I guess I just haven’t found it yet. All I can admit is my weaknesses, not any strengths I may have. Sometimes I ponder with such superstition that I firmly think that I was born just to show people how not to be. And unbeknownst to me for a while, I also think that I have nothing to go for. I’m not competitive like I once was, and I’m not as aspired to go forward. And I think that its basically impossible for me to date anyone, much less get married; I’m just not desirable in any way and am pretty uninteresting.
I’m very similar to you. There is so much of the ordinary business of life that I can’t do. I do like to think that I can write well. I guess the best way for me to improve my self esteem would be for me to work hard at my writing. It’s a fun delusion to think you are a genius, as long as you don’t proclaim it everywhere.
I’m sorry guys, but sometimes I wallow in self-pity, and it usually goes away in a few weeks. Please don’t be worried about me killing myself, as I’ve been in much, much worse states of mind. But thank you for reading my venting.
My religion is at the very heart of who I am, so in a way, I am knowledgeable about it. But I can’t say I’ve studied too many other religions. Most of Christianity confuses me, and others I know a baseline of information about, but just what they taught in high school.
