Do you feel ashamed and embarrassed of how your life turned out to be?

[WitheringAway]

My family and everyone who knew me had high hopes for me like I would actually become someone very successful they thought I was smart talented gifted etc lol little did they know that I'd be 27 stuck in a job I hate with people I hate scared of life and scared of death but hoping that I die everyday. Well I kind of agreed with them like I myself thought I'd be like famous or very successful but nope I'm a hopeless case nothing will ever make me happy. Such a loss. Tragedy and very very painful existence. Have you ever known that you'd end up fucked up or did you have hopes for yourself like me?

Everyone had hopes for me and still does, despite me being a fuck up. In a way that makes knowing I'm a failure even worse.

What about you? Did you have hopes for yourself?

Well, to be honest. fame and success are probably the last things in the universe that would ever make anyone happy.

I did. It was nice while it lasted- but life has a way of ripping things away from me- hope specifically.

 

[FuneralCry]

I have never had any hope. I am simply not meant for this world and I cannot cope with life. I have never wanted to be alive and I never should have existed in the first place. Nothing would ever make me happy as well, I have no idea what happiness would be like. I wish you the best.

I´m also a "gifted kid" that never got anything done

 

[Oblivion Access]

Sometimes. But not really. I've realized how we turn out is largely if not entirely out of our hands, just our genetic+environmental luck. It still feels bad to be a 'loser at life' but none of us need the extra gut punch of thinking it'd be better if only we did some mystery thing differently.

 

[DisillusionedDragon]

No. With the things that were thrown my way it couldn't have turned out any other way. I just feel sad about it but I guess I've made my peace with it.

 

[JinZhin]

yes, most of the time, I used to be a gifted kid, and many people had quite a bit of hope in me, maybe not really, some of them still do, since I am still considered to be fairly young, but yeah, I feel ashamed since I could have avoided getting into this pitiful situation called my own life the way it is now.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Definitely, but that'll all be over soon once I end it.

I remember back in highschool a teacher asked us where would we see ourselves in 5-7 years and all I could see for my future is darkness. Like yes I was doing well in school, I was basically a straight A student and managed to graduate but after 2 years of college I broke down. I never really saw anything in me. I honestly felt like a machine following all of the adults' orders my whole life and now that I've strayed away from that I do not know myself anymore. So yes I feel pathetic.

 

[noname223]

I feel very similar. The only difference is I cannot even hold a simple job.

 

[Tortured_empath]

More in awe. Disbelief sometimes. But then again what is life. I will have to make the best of it. Why not.

 

[DeepSlumber]

I´m also a "gifted kid" that never got anything done

All thought I'd accomplish great things. Sorry to break it to everybody...

 

[Weebster]

Yeah. But i shouldn't be surprised

 

[ornitier199]

I did at a time (21) working in retail still and I just couldn't stand it; thought my passions where unattainable, so I left for the greater head and never looked back.

 

[UnravelingWinter]

Not at all. I only did what I believed I had to at each point in my life, and though it's going to end with me catching the bus, it's not something I'm ashamed or embarrassed about at all.
