I Am Defective

I am a broken person. There is no single part of me that works the way it should. Lately I have been trying to find happiness and I thought it was working. Figured I could turn everything around by sparking change. I think I was delusional. Every day brings newer realizations that no matter how hard I try, something will always make me a disappointment to others.

I tried to be a better friend, I ended up just sitting in a corner jealous of the stronger connections everyone else had. I tried to be a better lover, I failed to satisfy in any way. I tried to find a better job, I'm jobless with only one month of rent left. I tried to have a more positive attitude, I woke up today and am writing this.

It weighs on the soul knowing that every effort you put in to bettering yourself ends in failure and regret. I took a step forward and now I feel like I am falling. I am tired of being a spectacle of sympathy in the eyes of those around me. I am tired of trying over and over and getting nothing but further confirmation that this life I live is pointless. What good is living when you have nothing to give?

I regurgitate these words over and over in every way possible here and everywhere. I try and make sense of what I am. Why I am what I am. The world is just a joke. I need a punchline soon.

Hugs.. Sometimes life is happy and sometimes it sucks.. You just have to keep being optimistic despite the setbacks..

@SStarfish expect when there has never been real happiness, it's hard to keep up that optimism.
despair mode eh? Sigh

I'm sorry, it's a low tide day for me. I apologize for my overabundance of negativity.

I'm defective too but in a different way I suppose. I tried to build my life around my defects. It was working great. I was happy but I f'd it up again.

@Paliglass seems to be the crashing wave for most defective people. Anything good is always just temporary.

@bunnyXbunny I'm great on my own. I have good things in my life. People other than my children just isn't one of them.

Basically as I've been told many times my problem is I always fall in love with basically horrible guys. Which is due to childhood traumas and having an abusive mother.

As much as I try to change who I am attracted to I never can. I always end up in abusive relationships. I've never had a good relationship.

I decided to stay single. That lasted a while - I just dated but then I met my partner now and although it's not abusive in many ways in other ways it is really.

I like to live in the moment. Remember good stuff and forget bad stuff. But i have triggers and yesterday I was triggered which I still haven't recovered from 24 hours later. I don't think I will either until I get out of the relationship I'm in now. Which will be hard because I stay in bad relationships for ages. I don't know any different.

Anyway may you find a way to connect with people and a job and the strength to keep going. (((hugs)))
