I want to change how people see each other

1 month ago · 3 · Stress, +3 · Explicit


98

I just want to be happy, the “happy” I mean is not stressing over if I turned in my homework or if I’m going to fail this 9 weeks or whatever. I don’t want to have this depressing mindset anymore and I can’t talk or ask anyone for help because I don’t even know what the fuck is going through my brain anymore. I can’t sit still and focus in class, I’m drained and everyone can see that. Everyone is fucking drained, everyone is fucking done with this stress, this generation, this whole fucking impossible representation we all have to follow or overcome. In reality we aren’t perfect, people, and parents need to see that we shouldn’t always be making A’s or B’s we aren’t fucking perfect we’re going to fail test and papers. Taking our phones' electronics won’t help us “focus” or anything, it'll just make us mad at you, because you took our way of communication. And you know what is really sad? The fucking internet knows me better than you know me, and you’re my fucking parents. I can’t even trust you or talk to you guys without getting into an argument. I don’t feel comfortable asking for help from friends or family because my friends would act like they care for me in that moment then the next they’re making fun of me that actually hurt. My family would just start arguments in the middle while I’m telling them my problem, and they’ll ask, “Why do you feel like this?” I can’t even fucking answer those questions I don’t know why I’m like this. I don’t know why I can’t focus, I don’t know anything. I’m confused too. People in general need to see that everyone is insecure in some type of way, people might hide it but everyone still has feelings. You shouldn’t judge someone for the way they look or how they act. If you don’t like the person don’t go behind their back and talk shit about them, be a fucking adult group up. One day you’re finally going to understand no one will remember you from your school, you're all going to move away and live your life. You might cross paths but you’ll move on.

    Going through almost the same thing... You will be happy soon... Study cuz you wanna improve and get success not because you have to get good grades or whatever... Study for knowledge that's the key to success and happiness... Failing one time is not the end... Not trying is the end... And Once you're successful you're happy... And the thing is that Yes our parents treat us really badly... my parents abuse me... But... Once we are independent you can move outta the house... But you need something for that... And that is knowledge... Don't study for good grades. NO That doesn't matter. You will be happy soon.

    Good Luck :)

    You will be good to go soon :)

    Take Care :)

    Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Taking away your phones will make you mad I agree, but trust me the insecurity and anxiety is very much increased by going on social media and on phones. And the Internet doesn't know you, you're so much more than that. I think the main thing I'd say is you have to realise what you can control and what you cannot. In reality all you can control is your own words, your own thoughts and your own actions. Trying to control anything else will leave you feeling frustrated and dissapointed. It's not quite that simple of course but that rule has really helped me in my life. I agree you shouldn't judge people but in reality everyone makes judgements on people and how you look and act is the only thing available to judge. And yes, everyone is insecure about some things to a certain degree but for me when I got off social media I was so much more secure. Like it took a few months but it has made me so much happier. Nobody is happy all the time, happiness is an emotion not a state of being. But I am a lot more secure now that I don't use social media and my phone. So there is a reason why people want to take it from you, not to make you angry but to help you. I would say if you can, get off social media for a bit. I wish you all the best and things will get better. School was a rough time for me too.
