And yes, I know, easier said than done but it can be done.
Take care.

Yes, you do.
lifestream said:I'm sorry, SkaFish. I know how it feels to be boxed in like that. Maybe this happening now is the harbinger of some good changes in your life?

TheSkaFish said:I should have had a job years ago, I should have tried to get good at things years ago. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just complaining a lot and not doing enough. But it comes back to that feeling I described, the feeling of even if I did try harder, it wouldn't do any good because of a insufficient natural ability, or fundamental incompetence.
TheSkaFish said:I've always HATED, with a passion, the idea that I need to just accept that I'm a loser. But I've never felt like I had it in me to be a winner, either. And I feel like there is all kinds of evidence of this all over the place. All the jobs I've had, for instance, have been completely dull and paid terribly. I couldn't help but feel this was evidence of my loserdom. If I was able to make it, I'd say, I'd be doing something else. Also the fact that we have always been kinda hurting financially. It's hard to feel optimistic when all you ever hear is people complaining about the bills all the time. It feels like getting out from under this is just insurmountable.
TheSkaFish said:I wish I knew where I fit in. I think back to high school and some of the people who were around me. There was one guy who always knew he wanted to be a lawyer, another who always knew he wanted to be in business, and another who always knew he wanted to be a naval aviator. Life was just a simple matter of following tried-and-true paths for them. But my way was clear as mud.
TheSkaFish said:And it doesn't help that I had a terrible shouting match with my mother this morning. I feel bad for it. I don't like getting my parents stressed out and I worry about my dog because he is always here in the house during our arguments and he doesn't understand, I'm afraid that I am just getting everyone stressed out and ruining their health and my own, though I don't worry about myself as much because I feel that I am more able to bounce back. I feel like even if I got a job today, there is nothing I can do to make right years of arguments like this. Like my family relationships are permanently ruined.
How about you make the next 10 years of your life the best ever?TheSkaFish said:I just wish I could do the last 10 years of my life over again.
