[Thread] Am I really a failure?

Here’s what I have been feeling nowadays, I suffer alone every night, smile during the day & tell friends only half and parents nothing so they don't worry about them.

I finally end up becoming a big ball of bottled up emotions.

I was trying to talk to my colleagues about this and no one seems to care. All they care about is their own life and that is fair.

Is life all about suffering and pain?

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.

Someone I know crashed his Merc while street racing and he died on the spot. I still can’t shake that fact.

It has made me wonder whether there is any point escaping this pain or not

Well that's on them. Money, power and prestige doesn't mean you won't die if you do reckless shit.
We will all be 6 feet under some day just keep enjoying while it lasts

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. 🫰

Yep, and whenever you find yourself surrounded by negative thoughts, just remember that it's just the way of life, and it won't be long before it's gone.

Elon pointed out good stuff.

Why not travel to the place you once used to overjoy in your childhood unless you're on notice period?

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 appreciate the gesture. I can take care of myself but I’ve been wondering lately on a meta level whether it is even worth it.

Got you. Definitely not. They are part of life but there is a lot more to it.
Write it down. You'll wonder how therapeutic writing down emotions is.
