How can I enjoy life?
I can't enjoy anything , and I don't know how to change what I don't like about myself.
For example: in school o get straight As (good thibg) but I don't study all that much or work hard anymore, I've gotten really lazy (not good). I show a good work ethic but yet I don't really do extra. When it comes to problem solving or trying to figure new stuff out, I can't anymore and idk why.
I feel really dumb when I. Can't figure out a math or chemistry question even tho it's a simple one that I should've known.
I feel my grades are a fraud, (sorta easy to do at my cheap underfunded school)
Ppl have told me I'm smart but I don't feel that's way.
I'm easily flustered and confused and when I get flustered I can't seem to herb myself back on track.
I used to be funny; I've lost that
I used to have interests; lost that too
I used to be somewhat confident : not anymore
I used to be social or more social : not anymore
I used to have friends; not so much
And now in loosing my intelligence
I feel like nothing

ReplyYou're not alone. I've felt that way a lot close to the end of my highschool years, and even now at times in college. But it's okay to feel this way. Everyone feels it sometimes, you just dont know, when you compare yourself to the classmates you consider truly smart, talented and confident, under the surface they probably feel the same as you, and actually even compare themselves to you. Some of the things that might help you, is to change the way you see things. Dont compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the past you. Why do you think your past self was better? What were your motivations then? Is there something going on now that's changed you? You know it's not not nothing, and it's alright to admit it, whether it's a self realization or some other trigger. Be true to yourself, depression is alright. And you are not nothing, you're just momentarily lost. This happens. And it's okay. When you figure out what's holding you back, try to adapting and looking beyond it. Sometimes cutting out social media helps a lot. It prevents you from comparing yourself to friends or celebrities who seem as if they're living their best, while making you feel insignifigant when you're not. They put on a fake self too, but you dont know it. If you want to find yourself, try reminiscing your past and talking to your family or friends, anyone you consider close because sometimes theyll see things about you youd never know about yourself. Be open to change and open minded to your own flaws, But do not forget your own good traits because, even though I dont know you, I know you have unique and amazing qualities that others do not. I will not tell you empty lies or tell you to "just get confident you'll be fine in the future" because I know that doesn't do shit, and it's not true. You might feel this way a lot. But remember there will also be days that you feel good. Days that you feel happy, confident, and beautiful. Dont forget those days just because you've had a few bad ones. Humans are strong, and you are strong. Try writing down your thoughts in a journal, good and bad. Rant. It's okay. The first step to confidence is is your own self acceptance. I hope you found this helpful, as I'm on this struggle myself, I give my best wishes that you'll find what you need.
Replyhow do you build confidence? by taking an honest self inventory and identifying the specific weaknesses you need to work on, and then taking steps every day to make improvements in these areas. also by building new skills and by getting out of your comfort zone and into learning new things. these things help build a better self confidence.
Reply^^ definitely this.
ReplyBuild your trust towards yourself with little things. Say something to the mirror, a small goal and accomplish it. Nothing else. Go out for few minutes without going anywhere, just walk without lowering your gaze, look forward, what the sky, notice the details. Than go back and enjoy what you did for yourself. After a while, try to do bigger things. It is normal to feel afraid or unsecure. But if you can trust your word, you will be more confident. Don't tell to other people things that you are not sure to be able to do. When you break a promise to a person you care about, you damage your self esteem too. Good luck.
ReplyDon't be so hard on yourself. The only way you can actually enjoy life is to enjoy yourself. You need to have faith in yourself and need to stop cursing everything that you do cause that's only gonna make things worse. if you don't like something in your life, fix it. Find out ways to make it better and practice daily to be the very best version of yourself. DO NOT LET YOUR MIND CONVINCE YOU OF NEGATIVE SHIT.
