I'm a huge failure

[Alle_Gory]

Yes I am being vague for a reason. Too much pride, even to this anonymous community. I also don't trust people I lack basic trust of people.

Thought so. I spotted it quick because I do the same thing. I don't reveal much, even my geographic location.

It's a pride thing you've got to work on that. A little humility goes a long way. Read Wind Friends and Influence People by Carnegie. Humility at its best.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to be distrusting. Most people aren't out to harm you however. Its nice to let some people in.

Everytime I open up, or trust someone I am making myself vulnerable to attack, to pain, to somethnig I cannot control. Therefore, I have developd a huge over inflated ego and sense of pride as a destructive, but defensive mechanism. That much I do know about myself.

Yeah...

Best thing I have found is to embrace the pain. As long as it doesn't hurt you physically... who gives a damn? Emotional pain is all in your head, its just a thought and it cannot physically hurt you. Only you are making yourself feel bad.

Its funny watching some chicks try to insult you, and try to dig in. Once they see you don't respond it gets really good.

How can you hurt that which feels no pain?

Fox, stop living in your head. Do something. I've got stuff to worry about too and I'm contiuously learning to just get up and live. Hard advice to follow, but it's the truth.

Fox, someday you will forget to think you're a failure and do something good, or stop caring about minor stuff.
That's pretty much what happened to me when i was younger, and at some points I was really hoping for the bullet train.

lol, grow up kid.

Some people have serious illnesses to contend with, and your whinging about something trivial no doubt.

Colonel Sanders became a self-made millionaire for the first time while he was in his 70's. Just because you're not hitting it NOW, doesn't mean you won't. Put the work in now, and I guarantee, you'll likely do it well before the age Mr. Sanders was at.

(PS. Yes, he IS a real person, google it )
