I know I shouldn't feel like this but

I feel like everyone is so much better than me. Seriously. Better person, better minded, smarter, more attractive, funnier, just plain better.
It may be because I can’t find a job… I’m not going back to college. I’m going nowhere… That weighs a lot on me.

I don’t know. But I want to be a better person. :sob:

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” - Albert Einstein

I think that you’re better than you might think you are.

I’ve been there though. I still do that thinking too at times. It just piles up and goes nowhere.

And I think that society has a lot to answer for before it should judge certain people!

Where in all this “smartness” and “better people” have they come up with solutions that are still problems today?

Where’s our cancer cure? Where’s our solution for poverty, joblessness, and homelessness? The ultimate grail for all human illnesses?

They may have solutions. They just think its smarter to not share with the public to keep the government where it is, which is in control.
I sound like a conspiracy theorist lol
I don’t really think that. But a lot of people I know do.

Kind of like how they won’t legalize weed when it helps so much with illnesses because the pharmaceutical companies would stop making so much money …

They won’t give us cures because the drs and hospitals make fortunes off of treatments

Idk I’m rambling

I was going to go back to school this semester… But since I dropped out of college a few years ago they won’t give me financial aid

So I don’t think I’ll be going back since I screwed up already. The optimist hiding in me is saying “trust me there’s a way” tho…

Its fine.

I think on those things too.

Ramble away!

[Kind of got a little alcohol in my system so I’m actually more chatty than usual for the moment.]

There’s always the community college route…it’s cheap and they accept anyone. Don’t underestimate your ability to recover. I know it seems hopeless now but maybe you can get a part-time job one day and pay yourself through CC. Nothing’s easy but I know you can do it. I just saw you were 22 a little earlier…22 man, i was bouncing in and out of psych wards every 6 months. I wanted to die 100% of my life. Now life aint too bad :sunglasses:

Just some words of hope, I know it’s nothing you don’t know, but man I was so delusional at 22 and so hopeless. All of our experiences and predicaments are different but I’ve seen wayyyy less intelligent people recover and make a life for themselves, that’s for sure.

Lol wanna share some alcohol? Sounds pretty nice right now. :blush:

I have nothing else to ramble on. Lol my mind is now blank. :expressionless:

Except…
What if god created this earth as a test.
To see who would believe in him
And to see who wouldn’t.
Merely an experiment.
A man raging with power without limits and boundaries… Decides to create this place and name himself as the all powerful almighty man in charge. How do people react to him.

Lol “I wonder if people will think I’m cool” -God
Haha idfk

You will always find someone smarter, funnier, and more attractive.
And I gurentee that you are smarter, funnier and more attractive than some one else.

I know it’s hard not to compare yourself to others but all these people you see who look happy and more together than you, well, you never really know what’s going on in their lives. When you see your neighbor in the morning going off to work who looks so nice and content may be an alcoholic who is hated by his colleagues at his job. The pretty casheir at your local supermarket who is so bubbly and likable and talks easily with all her customers might go home after work to a husband who beats her and a child with Multiple Sclerosis.
One thing they told me in AA is, “Don’t compare your insides to someone elses outsides”.

By the way, you shouldn’t worry about being attractive enough. You are VERY attractive.

Wow. How kind of you, that post made me feel really good about myself. I really appreciate that @turningthepage thank you. Maybe in a few years I’ll be able to look back and see I was just going through a rough time. Maybe I’ll be happy in a few years and over all this ■■■■■■■■. But the anxiety in me is like “what if its the opposite and you just get worse?” Lol thanks anxiety.

And it was a community college that i dropped out of btw… Lol

Thank you thank you thank you.

The thing is I think I’m looking at people with the prenotion (pre notion) ((am I using the right word?)) That they’re better than me. I automatically look to see in what ways they’re better. Judging them kind of.

I wish I made better sense.

The Sun shines forevermore without need of reverence, providing warmth and light to all. Be like the Sun!

At times I find (after some stress and anxiety) I feel blindingly calm and happy without much reason for it.

[hashtag]horriblestories you heard from your elders

I too constantly think that others are better than me. I think that people are better talking with people. Other people have jobs which I don’t. I think of it as a position to grow. To keep trying. Also job market sucks I’ve lost my job in september. I’m still looking for one. Don’t give up hope still have hope.

Lol this post is really nice. I’m 26 and I’ve never had a REAL girlfriend. like I dated a girl for a month last summer, and there were a couple girls I went on dates with that never turned into anything.

But I met this girl on my tour at school and we’ve been chatting online and we have a lot in common. It’s really cool. We’re both really excited for the fall. I thought I scared her away with a long message telling her the “story of my life”, but then she responded back with a long message of her own telling me the “story of HER life” so yeah I’m excited and happy.
