What makes people tick?

4 Replies

A question I always ask myself at times like this. What's wrong with me? Why am I such a failure compared to everyone else? Why do I have things that people dream of yet I don't even slightly care about it? I'd give it to them in a heartbeat if I could. Why do I see people try so hard to achieve what I did without even trying? What makes them want these things so badly? Why does everyone always have a goal in life, something they want to achieve but I don't? Why do I see people go through hell to get what they want when I can barely even get out of bed in the morning? Was I just born a failure? Am I just doing it wrong? If I am, what is it exactly? What is it that makes people want to get up in the morning? I truly can't understand.

I know I should care about that but to be honest, no. I don't care about it enough to actually live for it. Am I just an awful person? What's wrong with me?

How do you do it?

I'm sorry. I don't even have that sadly.
