Is anyone else mortified by the thought of running into people you knew in high school or college because your life has turned out pathetic compared to them?
Yeah, I always think how people my age have jobs and houses and kids and mortgages... What do I have? A lifetime of failure and mental illness. When I do bump into people I once knew, I tend to lie and say things are great and everything is good just to avoid the fake sympathetic looks and everything that comes with it.
I've never had a Facebook, Instagram, etc. Don't have any social media accounts nor have I ever browsed them.Yes.. I deleted my main Facebook account and made a new one with a slightly different name so old classmates won't be able to find or message me.
Well for me its not a problem as i had no friends at school in fact i had no friends at tall. Well i try to have one a few years back but as it turns out I got used. I say sod them all better of by yourself. O and all that happy stuff on Facebook and Twitter and other ones is all bull poo . They say they are so they fit in with every one else thats happy on their. But in truth they unhappy miserable and fed with with life like the rest of us well most of the time . Its not constant misery for them unlike us lot hehe . Its all a competition on social media to see who got a better life. In the end they just get depressed and unhappy over a load of lies. Thats why i keep away from that stuff and keep my self to my self. My big dream is to become a hermit YAY LOL :)
It ends up like sum sort of competition every one trying to outdo one and other in the end they just end up miserable and unhappy its sad really how things turn out.I tend not to use social media when i feel this low.
Just adds salt to the burn
I hate having functioning human beings shoved in my face.
When i am using it, its always look how awesome i am at X Y or Z...
Social media has definitely thrown others lives at us all the time, instead when we'd hear about it naturally
Oh man, I can relate to that.Oh, ye, people create families, travel a lot, give birth to kids, find a good job. Me: googling "how to live one more day" (trivializing ofc)
The worst thing is Instagram, the demonstration of happiness does not make me jealous, but I keep asking myself where did I actually go wrong.
I have more talents than they have, am smarter, poet, musician, writer, composer, read a tremendous amount of books about business, self-development and psychology. So why all this shit happens to me?
Yeah, my mental illness pretty much destroyed any chance I had in life.Yeah, I always think how people my age have jobs and houses and kids and mortgages... What do I have?

I'm hearing you!The couple of friends i still have contact with have kids, partners, 1 has a good job and own home. He often talks about his job and kids n partner and i often talk about my dog lol and memories as that's all i have. I don't begrudge him of his success he's a genuinely nice person and deserves it. I get more disappointed with myself when my mother talks to her friends and they bring up how their kids have children and are married etc whereas i basically failed at life I feel I let my mother down.

It's not for everyone agreed. Out of the 2 friends i have contact with 1 is very happy with his partner and 1 is basically just friends living under the same roof. They both adore their kids though. Personally I think I would've liked kids and grown old with somebody.I feel like a weirdo, marriage sounds like a nightmare to me.
Kids even worse.
Almost everyone who I know who has kids don't seem very happy.
I understand you on that one, Woodnote. I get extremely jealous and sad when I see other people's social media posts and pictures. I try to tell myself that it's fake, or the majority is, anyway, and it isn't an accurate portrayal of someone's life, but the feeling remains.Yes. I even deleted my social media accounts because of it. Everyone seems so happy. While I'm here wanting to kill myself.
This is what I did, fake name profile lol! The worst is when u tell people u don't have a Facebook account. People look at u with suspicion like how dare u not conform and have Facebook. How do we know if u are a real person unless u use it?Yes.. I deleted my main Facebook account and made a new one with a slightly different name so old classmates won't be able to find or message me.
Very wiseI'm sure the people who are doing great have hidden problems in their lives too.
Remember, the more things you have, the more things that can be taken away from you.
You don't know how much help they had, or what breaks they had to get into their current position.
Don't live up to societal expectations. Live up to your own expectations.
