Feeling like you haven’t accomplished anything with your life?

In the grand sense of things, I would say the only thing I have ever accomplished in my life is just earning two degrees, a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree. Other than that, I pretty much failed miserably in just about all other aspects of life. I am not employed, but will be soon (have to start somewhere I guess). I have mountains of debt from earning the two degrees, failed nonexistent social life (too late to recover and also not worth the effort - won't get into detail here but in another topic), failed to achieve certain dream goals, particularly in music and other hobbies, so yeah my life is a failure in the grand scheme of things.

The universe couldn't even give me the chance to prove if I can accomplish something or not... It just out of nowhere decided I don't even get to play the game I want; EXCEPT it highly implied I could by giving me the basic tools to do so only to crush them beyond repair for no reason!
Well that's life, sometimes it works I guess??? This is all a sick joke, none of it makes sense, this is messed up beyond belief...

when others were starting their lives at age 18-19, had their first exciting ooo weee university week, I was scared shitless in mental hospital with psychosis and eversince I haven't accomplished anything. It's like I dissociate with myself so much that I almost don't care. I don't care enough about myself to walk my own path and I'm clueless anyway. There isn't anything I would like to accomplish. I wish I saw the world through someones eyes who sees and feels the point of everything.

My expectations of what I can achieve are higher than my abilities and that's quite hard to accept

I graduated high school, that feels like an accomplishment for me.

I got up this morning, take that life!

Does it bother you that a penguin has surpassed you in every way?

Why do you say that? The most important factor in achieving goals is grit not intelligence.

I've published some books, lots of articles, gained an international reputation in my area, helped to author legislation, and effect some real social change. I've loved, travelled, fought, suffered, given, taken, won & lost. Other than never having kids, I've accomplished enough that I can say I've made good on my potential.

The idea of dying without a life led sounds really sad, though despite all I've done, I regularly think I still should have ctb 40yrs ago. It has been fucking fucking fucking hard.

 

[Help_Me]

Those things can't be accomplished, that's why I dropped then and chose ctb.No, this feeling does not hurt me at all

I haven't accomplished anything. My biggest accomplishments are getting a GED and a drivers license. Lots of people do that.

I got a GED also. I was surprised how difficult the exam actually was, and didn't prepare at all because I was a complete snob about it but damn if I didn't have to actually think during said exam.


Many HS graduates can't pass it.
