I'm Tired of Feeling Inadequate.

I'm tired of feeling like because I'm not funny or outgoing or have the energy of someone my age that I'm not good enough. That I'm dissatisfying. I'm tired of trying to go out and be fun only to have anxiety all night and be grumpy when I wanted to go home an hour ago and we're still here and now I'm the bad guy. I'm just so tired of wanting to be good enough for life.

Maddogg, do we have the same brain? I promise I think the same thing. People assume that since you’re young you should like going out. And I am a person who doesn’t anymore and people think it’s weird. I use to try to cope with the anxiety by drinking but it didn’t help so I no longer drink and I no longer go out. I see it as, Im good enough for myself, in that aspect. I like my own company if no one wants to chill at home with me. I’m content. You’re good enough for you and that is all that matters! You’re not a bad guy, or inadequate, you’re yourself

I guess that's part of the problem. I'm unhappy with myself. I'm disappointed in myself for not being more fun. Who likes a boring person? :/

You’re not boring, you sound like an introvert. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to be or do the type of fun everyone else wants. If you have fun staying in then that’s your fun. If you want to go out, go but don’t do it just to fit in, do it cause you want to do it. What do you like to do? I’m sure it isn’t boring.

Not what you're looking for?
