Scared of failing

6 Comments

I'm 23 in 2 days, I have been so worried about ageing another year. Another year wasted year, another year of failures, another year of feeling like my life is worthless. I'm so f**kin scared that I'm going to carry on stopping myself from going places in life because of, my low confidence and negative view of the world. Deep down I do believe that I could do something with my life, but at the same time I know I can't. Never had much confidence and never had much encouragement, the only bit of confidence I did get is from alchohol and drugs. I have now been forced to give up these vices and was told life would be a lot better without them. Now I have lost contact with all my friends, and feel like a loser, people keep saying think positive, but I don't see the point it's just like i'm fooling myself!

    People fail when people think they will fail.

    Confidence is half of the battle.

    Man, I feel you. I'm 20, turning 21 soon and have the exact same thought process. What is the point of grinding away at all this, what is the point. We're put in boxes our whole lives and everybody comes out the same. It's good you quit the drugs, but really if you can handle them without abusing them then use it. Find something you enjoy and do it. I'm in college now, and let me tell you man I hate it. But I'll get that little piece of paper and have more options later on for a job (if there are any jobs...). SO the way I look at it is: go to classes, get all that shit done and do it 100%%, and then go home and just sort of escape from the world through hobbies I enjoy. Hanging out with friends is a good escape to, or a girlfriend.

    I understand where your coming from. feeling like you cant make it and here people giving you punk ass advice that goes in one ear and out the other. I guess the only way to start building self confidence is finding a way to loving yourself. if you dont have love for yourself you can forget anything else you put your mind too. still today im tryning to find ways to love myself b/c it seems like everything i do can fail any moment. its scary as hell
