Dont give up. It will get better. If you desperately need change, fight for your life until your free and you will realize how strong you truly are. You have never fought as hard as you can until you have to.
@sree251 personal choice. Some people are envious. Some people were just raised that way. Some people take out their pain on others. Some learn self control and growth.
@GuyWithOpinions Is there any way to screen the bad people out? If we could do that, Congress would be an empty chamber, and no one would be in the White House. And I would be suprised if there could be more than 5 decent people taking care of business in the US Supreme Court.
Realize that life owes us nothing, then pick your eyes up off the deck, put one foot in front of the other, and keep your eyes on the horizon. Succeeding (or your idea of it) begins with hard work. Period. Develop a peasant's tenacity. No more needs to be said.
I decided that I had to change everything, starting doing them badly, then better, then well. It took a lot of soul searching, honesty, and discipline, it paid off. Had to get clear on who I wanted to be, how that would happen etc.
Not a man just wanna say I really appreciate you all opening up and giving solid life guidance that anyone can use. ❤️
My boyfriend failed suicide and ended up in hospice before we met. He was happy it failed so he could meet me. The silver lining of the story is, if you dissappear you have no idea what good things could come your way. Stay alive. Take help from people. Cry when you need to cry. Take it one day at a time.
Change / improve what you can, accept what you can't and have the wisdom to know the difference.
Choose self compassion. Don't be harsh on yourself. Remember you're only human. Not robot Ironman or Batman (even if that would be really cool)
Forgive yourself for the things you understand / can do now that you couldn't before.
I had several low points in my life. I just kept going, persevered and eventually got to level ground. Was not easy, I was miserable for a while. In the long run was worth toughing it out.

By owning what I had done, realising it wasn't as bad as people made out, and fighting back.
I'm in one right now. No job, no money, and the job market is really tough at the moment.
Every time I've been through one these super low points, I just kept telling myself that it won't always be like this, and things slowly started to turn around.
@SubstantialKick You mean at home with your parents? Why leave at all if your folks want you to live with them? Paying property taxes unnecessarily is dumb.
Tomorrow's another day for an opportunity. And while I KNOW how this phrase has been demonized, but since you specifically asked the opinion of men, I'll toss it out there. "Manning up" really does carry some weight.
