A complete failure?
I should never have crawled out from under the rock I was hiding beneath. That's where people like me belong.
Sometimes I wonder if I should give up on certain things... I'm not good enough to make a difference. I'm a joke.
Well that's how I feel right now... I'm losing passion, I just wanna be left alone.

whats bugging you moonrat?
I think everyone feels like this at some time or another. Maybe you should take a bit more time out just for you, though.
However, from the things you write, I would say you are achieving lots.
As for your own feelings of failure, I don't think I really have a whole lot that is valuable to say to you. However I just wanted to reiterate what has already been said - you are NOT a failure. You most definitely are your own harshest critic and while that's in some ways a good thing (it has pushed you to get to the place you are today) it also means that you really do yourself a disservice sometimes when it comes to aknowledging the good things you do and what you have achieved. When you've come so far through sheer grit and determination it is definitely understandable that you feel so disillusioned that things are skidding out of control. As IWS said, maybe it would be a good idea to slam the brakes on and direct a little bit of your wealth of compassion and understanding towards yourself. You deserve it, and I think you need it. We can say as much great stuff about you as we like, but until you feel successful and realise that the things that are going wrong aren't your fault, well I don't think it'll make a blind bit of difference. I hope you do start to feel more positive soon, and though you say you want to be left alone, if you ever need to sound off you know where I am
I don't feel like a failure, though I do feel like I'm abusing the system by doing as little as possible and hoping that I scrape through somehow hehe!
I'd just like to add that I agree with pretty much everyone else here... You have so many things to be proud of you shouldn't feel like this. But then - I understand that you do, it happens to me too from time to time. God knows I'm my harshest critic. What I've learned to do over time though is to learn to look at myself with a bit more compassion. The way you do so many compassionate things for others Moonrat, take some of that compassion and apply it to yourself.
Hope you feel better
My social circle, hah, doesn't exist, i have very few friend's, no matter how hard i try nothing i do in regard to work ever comes off in my favour nor with relationships either. I feel I'm letting the people i do have in my life down and part of all i want to do is make them proud of me. It's nice to know my never die attitude still lurks underneath me somewhere.
Thing's were fucking brilliant until i grew up.
i'm feeling like that right now. its all i can think about at the moment
I've been seen a failure as a boyfriend quite a few times too.
I don't see myself as a failure thiugh, whih I kinda guess is the most important thing.
Love my friends xxx
