Re: I failed in life
@bignosegirly0 comparison is the thief of joy, everyone is at different points of their life, just because one person may be succeeding doesn't make you a failure and doesn't mean that they're not struggling in any other aspect, that girl who had a side job as a dance teacher has struggled in some point of her life, everyone struggles and I'm not saying this to undermine your struggle but that we are all on our own journey and that some people's struggles are more visible than others, try not to undermine and put yourself below others, just because they're succeeding with a job or on social media, it doesn't make them superior to you.
Also as someone else who struggles horribly with a social life, where I struggle to even interact with relatives and immediate family, I totally get you, but as you've mentioned social media, try remember that people post and showcase their best side on social media and so with struggles, they rarely showcase it, it's often seen as taboo in a way, so try remember that when looking at other coworkers on social media.
What I would recommend is writing down your thoughts if that helps, that might get some weight off your shoulder.
And it's never too late to achieve your dream job, many successful people started late, 30, 40 and even 50+
And in terms of finding a partner, and even with social life, try be softer on yourself, you're being too hard on yourself which in turn causes doubt, try be more gentle with yourself.
Like you I also struggled so heavily with little to mo interest in previous hobbies, what I would recommend is trying like 2-5 minutes as a starter, you'll probably stop soon after but at least you can say you tried.
Also the fact that you even have a job is amazing, just because it's not your dream job doesn't mean it's a failure, you have something going on.
Also everyone's idea of success is different, nowadays success is determined by wealth and numbers, but try find satisfaction in the little things and focus on yourself and remember to slow down, life isn't meant to be rushed.
Hope this helps and apologies if this doesn't,sorry for it being so long.

@Redemption Yeah, all good thanks bro, how did things go today for you?
@DonnerKebab went ok thanks, just looking at my next steps with work next, went for a trim too, what about you?
@Redemption tried going out with crutches to my brothers school summer fait, met mario and luigi, ate pizza, came home and bought another pizza cause mario's one was crap 😂 and then watched my brother all day. Interesting day.
Bet it's a sick trim. Which style did you get?
And next steps sounds good. You're getting there bit by bit brother, well done. I'm proud of you, because so many would just throw in the towel, but here you are, still trying, still pushing, despite all the setbacks, still self improving and whilst you have that spirit, you're going to get far.
@DonnerKebab its just so great you do all that for your bro. I got a 3 skin fade, always got that l. Thanks so much mate, i wish you the best too.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@DonnerKebab aw how come he is awake still? Is he having a bad night too?
Yeah insomnia and MADD are my new hobbies 😂😂😂
@River I can't sleep until he does. And he won't sleep until he physically is too tired to do anything. He's not mentally capable of understanding the notion of needing sleep, or sleep schedules, he has no concept of it, so he'll just keep going until he pretty much can't help but fall asleep from sheer tiredness. Sleeping tablets aren't effective anymore, and I have to be ready to put a helmet on him at any moment if he starts a headbanging episode, which happen randomly, which means i have to stay awake lol. It's been this way for me since I was 11, so I'm used to it. And yeah, he has bad nights all the time, sometimes good ones. Been a bad night for the last few nights in a row though sadly, so tomorrow will likely be a good one 😂.
Got to say, interesting hobby picks 😂😂😂 How's Ariel hoop going?
