  • I have to get up early in the morning for my endocrinology appointment.

    How early?

    I have to arrive by 7:45. It takes time for me to get ready and I have to drive a good distance.

    That would be a very early appointment for me. I try to have no appointments before 11AM. And that's still pushing it because of how long it takes for me to eat breakfast. No matter when I get up.
    My life feels like I can’t take control of it.

    No, your life doesn't have that feeling. You do. You don't know what to do and are telling yourself that you don't have the ability to take useful actions.
    I don’t fit in any community.

    I don't know, you're snapped in pretty tightly with us, buddy. We got your back, mate :)

    There's so many people who feel they *don't fit in.* It's a huge club that some people want to belong to and some don't.
    Is my state manageable? Or is the vicious cycle permanent?

    I'd say that the cycle is only as permanent as you choose to make it.
    How much longer will I have to wait until I have a girlfriend? I don’t want to wait another 12 years. :(

    I also feel like I am unable to take charge of my life because of my low finances, poor health on both levels, lack of a college degree, innate struggles with math, and not having enough social connections. All these things contribute to the vicious cycle I’ve been trapped in for many years.

    You will be around my age. I still don't have a girlfriend either.

    These things plague many people including NT.

    You have to find what you are good at, to create value in yourself. This is hard. It's a discovery journey. What am l good at? I have walked your path, so l hope l inspire you to keep finding what you enjoy doing.
    Why am I considered unsuitable to have a girlfriend for the remainder of my life?

    You keep repeating what they said. The negative remarks. I'm trying to remember whether I've ever seen you repeat a positive thing someone has told you.

    @tree No one would think I am lying?

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but I wouldn't think you were lying if you repeated something nice someone said about you (unless it's really egregious like building a tunnel to the earth's core).
    I feel hated by others and that they want me to disappear.

    It would be very tiring to feel that way. An energy sucking feeling.
    My therapist told me I need to re-write my life script.

    From a scientific perspective now that bit on "vision boards" makes a lot of sense

    Like a page of a manga. It's going to be all laid out for you, as soon as you can lay it all out.

    Do not use Made in Abyss as a model for your new life script. Please.
    Why can’t I have any successes to talk about?
    tree

    @Markness I don't think you can recognize success. You keep thinking of it as a destination, instead of an incremental journey.

    I have to remind myself of what @tree says, these steps are success. And they move us the think better of ourself.

    Various reasons, but I doubt any of them are really your fault. People generally just scream the same just world fallacy stuff here, why do you even want to hear it? It can't do you any good mentally.
    Has time run out for me to have a girlfriend?
    Markness
    Markness
    It would feel so great to prove those who doubted me wrong.

    @Tony Ramirez Its generally the same group of people that do this, some woman and a couple of guys who are married. I don't think that there are lot of people here that have had plenty of experience dating woman, what i usually see is guys that married their 1st or 2nd girlfriend, other woman or those who had no success at all.

    You will hit on woman, and we do say no. But sometimes the females in your area aren't looking for a guy. It's not your fault, and doesn't mean you aren't important.
    Why is happiness always out of reach for me?

    If you actually read his posts he tried a lot of different things more than I tried but like me he is still single. Go tell that to your spouse if you have one.

    @Tony Ramirez It doesn’t matter, the prophecy will always fulfill itself with these types of people.

    Great comeback, by the way. Really owned me with that. /sarcasm

    @Rullklok I don’t think I deserve to feel bad. I don’t want to feel this way.
    I don’t know what I should read right now.

    You could flip a coin. This is sure fire decision making technique. If you're dis-satisfied with the result of the coin flip, you know you want something else.

    So, did you read anything Saturday night?

    I did. I decided to read the library books I checked out because two of them were due today.
