I Feel Like a Loser

Don't feel bad about yourself. Feeling insecure and anxious isn't unusual for someone your age. When you think about all the big projects you want to finish, you might be overwhelmed, and thus never take the first step out of fear of failure. What may help you, is to focus on accomplishing little things, which will boost your confidence. For example, your goal may be to read self improvement books for an hour a day. That may sound impossible at first. What you can do is start out by reading 10 minutes a day, then gradually working up to an hour. The benefits will be manyfold. You will have developed the discipline of reading every day. You will have expanded your base of knowledge and begun to question the circumstances of your life by reading self improvement books. And, you will feel a sense of accomplishment because you achieved and finished something, even something as minor as reading every day.
If I may, I'll suggest that you read The Art of Non- Comformity by Chris Guillebeau (not sure about the spelling of his last name ). It's a thought provoking book that I wish had been published when I was your age. Even if you don't agree with what he says, it will certainly get your wheels turning.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Take it slow and easy is my advice. I have very similar feelings. What I do is not focus on what people tell me that is negative and I do what I enjoy. I don't enjoy much but I like animals and find they some how are able to sooth my anxiety, even when dealing with strong crazy dogs at the animal shelters. They take me to a place where I'm not thinking if that makes any sense and my anxiety and nervousness decreases significantly. This is just what works for me but you may have other interests or hobbies that may do the same for you. You look decent, pretty, if that is you and if that's not you like many people on here, that doesn't really matter anyway. What you wrote or said is what counts. That being said you seem to be comfortable in your own skin or how you are. You seem to know what your issues are or obstacles. Seems like you have the answer to your own dilemma. Go out and do something, try to get a better job, find or make new friends, do whatever makes you happy and feel good and keep it light and positive and just go with it. Relax is my own main advice and I'm not telling you what you don't know, ha, just telling you what has helped me. I hope it can help you, you seem pretty down to earth and cool.

Me too..I respect all that you stated, life definitely has other things to offer and it's you that who will find and extract them :) Among what you had said, I believe that the hardest one is finding true friendship (or maybe love) believe it or not, that's what I think. Getting a better paid job can also be tough but, in today's dirty world, it is very hard to find people who aren't contaminated yet... I also believe that, although you don't really need anyone to survive ( I mean, I think you can handle things even if you are alone (I don't know you, but that's what infer from your posts)) a family can more or less help you, even if they love lecturing you! they are more experienced than us and although they may not be perfect, some of their suggestions may be worth listening...

Anxiety sucks huh? And it always seems people want to tell you what you don't know (and sometimes don't want to know, know what I mean?) Anyway, if you want someone to chat with, inbox me. I'd love to chat!
