Is it normal that nothing in my life seems to work out?

It feels like every time I try to do something good for myself in life, it never works out. Ever since I was little, I wanted to join different activities, like ballet. But my parents couldn't afford the classes, so I never took them. In middle school, I finally found a good group of friends, until we all separated in high school and people turned out to be backstabbers. In high school, I tried my best to get good grades and I always give my 100%, but nothing seemed to give.

I remember in high school I was on the newspaper staff for three years when I decided to run for a position. Being an active member, I thought I would definitely get it. Apparently not, 'cause the next thing I know some slacker that is always late got the position instead and did a horrible job.

Why can't things just work out for me once in a while? I always give my best and end up getting another shi**y experience in return. I'm a good person, I don't do crazy things, I'm polite, respect others, and I try to keep a positive attitude. Yet, it seems like the world hates me. What did I do that was so wrong that I can't achieve anything in my life? I feel like I deserve something for making it through this dumba** life I never asked for.

is it normal to feel like this? Do you ever feel like this?

    I understand you. "Unfortunately", I've got a few tricks up my sleeve so I guess I can't say I completely understand your situation. However, there are many things in my life that I've never succeeded with.

    Girls hate me, even though I'm the kind of personality that every girl speaks so highly of (I look like sh*t they say, simple enough...)

    I've never been able to maintain an after-school activity that involves me going somewhere doing sports or whatever.

    I just seem to get stuck in the middle all the time. As I mentioned, I've got a few tricks and things I do good but in general, I'm not really good at anything. I'm more often incapable than the opposite.

    However, I believe that there's a spot for everybody (even though I'm fed up with that crap myself) and I think that you need to work hard to find that spot. Maybe you should spend more time on figuring out which dreams to follow and how you want the world to know you?

    I feel that way sometimes, but I also believe there's a reason bad things happen to me.

    Be wary of the pity party, they only bring you down. At least you have dreams and goals. Make more. Keep moving forward.
