[Thread] Am I really a failure?

You are overthinking it mate. And no one seems to care as all of them are suffering from the same thing and no one knows how to overcome it so they can't help you out. Just focus on the good and important stuff, and it will probably work out in the long run. And if it doesn't then...as you said you and your siblings were raised as Spartans right? So just keep fighting, like Spartans because there is glory in rising up again and again even if you lose in the end.

Life is a mix, where you'll experience each and every emotion known to mankind - the ups and downs, the sufferings and excitement, the pain and happiness, everything. Sometimes some of these emotions can feel dominating the others, but that doesn't define life. Life is way above and beyond that. Every emotion we experience and life itself, is meant to be shared, and anyone who tells you otherwise has not understood the true meaning of life. Sure your colleagues might not want to know about it, they have their own life and their own friends. But you have your friends and family. If you feel like you cannot share something with them, just have their company for a while. Maybe you're overwhelmed by emotions in that moment but eventually you'll be able to share it. In the end, all that matters experiencing and enjoying all the things life is giving out to us. And you'll slowly start to realise, maybe it doesn't have to be all bad. Maybe you can let yourself lose and have a little fun. 🫰

I follow this like crazy

Life is about both experience and growth, encompassing suffering and pain as integral parts of the journey. Without the negative aspects, the positive ones lose their significance. Embracing both is essential. Your current experience is entirely normal, and having emotions is a blessing in itself. Remember, time will pass, and in hindsight, you'll see how it has made you stronger and smarter. Be gentle with yourself. In times like these, owning your emotions and maintaining positive self-talk, as well as prayer, have been tremendously helpful for me. I understand it's easier said than done, but challenges are opportunities for growth. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk. Though I may not be very active, I'm happy to help whenever I can.

I'm bad at emotional stuff. But here's sending virtual hug to you! 🫂 Your views and thoughts have been core to few perspectives in my life. You are way stronger than this!

@salt shocking to see you write this You’ve always come across as a confident individual, who’s sure of what he’s doing at life. I know it may necessarily not be how it seems always. If I can ask - how did these thoughts start? P.S: love that even this started with the trademark Salt [thread]

I can feel you bro 🥺. Even I also feel the same. The main problem even after reaching to a certain level I’ve no one share my thoughts with. Couple of months back I started feeling frustrated and lonely because of too much work. You know what, I was getting angry even on smaller issues etc etc. But again you have no one to share anything. Sometimes I even cry but I can’t do anything about it. So I started doing 3 things. - I write journal. It is a place where I pour all of my emotions. - Joined Gym started working out. - Listen to bhajan/devotional songs. Now I feel somewhat better but still fewer times I feel alone. But then I’ve left specially this particular thing to Radharani. Only she will do something and whatever she will do I’ll accept this. Be happy bro 🤞🏼. Akele aaye the aur akele hi jaaoge, that is the brutal reality of world 🙏🏼

I'm not so successful to give gyan, but yeah, don't overthink too much. It happens to all at some point. Any problem ,there's a universal solution. Hit the gym 🏋️‍♂️ my brother,this is a sign. Trust me.

We love you @salt ! This stage has either happening Happened to all of us. But you will overcome it for sure :)

Don't worry... Ye woqt bhi gujar jayega, start reading books and gym so exercise yoga meditation you can go for swimming... It will heal you

That’s so relatable @salt. 🥹 I am also going through the same set of emotions these days, trying to fight my darkest battles and that too alone. I hope I’ll come out unscathed and emerge as a better person. Overthinking just adds fuel to the fire. I know in reality hardly anyone cares. And that’s fine; we cannot expect people to care about us. That’s empathy; some have it, some don’t. :) I believe life is all about how gracefully you handle pain and suffering. Everyone experiences it at some point in life; it’s all about how you handle and overcome it. The sad part is not everyone is able to do it, and this is where the misery starts.

Hi @salt I feel exactly the same

Remember, life's a cricket match, not every ball is a bouncer. Talk to professionals, don't keep it bottled up. Yeh phase bhi jayega!

To answer your question - Yes it is about pain and suffering among other things. But, whatever you been feeling, you probably won't be alone in that. If you have someone in your life you can talk to, I assume your wife, you should! If not, you can post it online, trust me, people are really empathetic and you'll find you aren't alone in it. As Kushina(Naruto's mom) would say - life is full of pain and suffering, it's really imperative that you give yourself lots and lots of love, bcoz you are gonna need it.

Let's see you un the GYM bro. Don't cry on Silly things. I hope you are not from Gen Z or Gendu Generation

"You are not your thoughts"

Can relate suffering from these feelings since 4 years
