I have posted about this before and I was talking about this on the recent chat thread. Im just feeling a bit alone with it all this weekend a bit also in general I do and still feel like I need to talk about things. I just recently been turned down after an interview and I declined for a placement a few months ago . It feels like one thing after another, despite putting in effort to secure a job. I sometimes feel unsure about my abilities, especially when things don’t seem to work out. I’ve even flopped a forklift course, I keep going on about it and dwelling on it but it's like I just add it on the multiple setbacks I have. I don’t have a girlfriend, and it feels like everyone around me is moving forward, getting jobs, or doing what they want to do, while I’m stuck in the same place. I sometimes feel ashamed for not finding a job yet, and it’s hard not to compare myself to others, especially when people my age seem to have it all together. I just feel behind, and it makes me feel worse about myself.
I know I'm on my own journey or path I have been told not to compare myself to people but it's like easier said than done and I just think sometimes like way is my journey so slow, it seems like most people just have it more smooth. I feel most people finish college or 6th form get a job and things fall into place a bit. Me it's been more rough and now I just want to move forward it's just all been pretty tough and stressful. I keep worrying about it things like when I'll get into work and stuff. I also sometimes have other worries, I worry a lot in general. I'm just a bit fed up with my situation and I'm often just bored at home because there's not much to do in the meantime when in between job hunting. I know this is all getting ridiculously repetitive now but I think it does help because it can help me feel listened to without being judged and make me feel a bit less alone. I appreciate or replies or even hugs, nothing goes ignored or unappreciated etc.
