Bad luck

[Atthepark]

I feel as if I was born under an unlucky star. I have so many problems w things in life it's just not fair how easily people can float thru life and not be stressed out or angry like I am I thinks it's the mi but I have so much trouble w GPS phones TV computers men opening food packages everything seems like it's a pain and I get mad and anxious. Is it normal to be pissed all the time people say oh life is hard u need to be stronger and not complain but I don't see anyone else having these same problems as me and getting upset and mad at them like I do. What are your thoughts and stuff I can improve on to make life easier

I do know that everyone has problems. Some people are better at hiding it or dealing with it. I also felt like I've been through way more than most people. And maybe I have. But we never know, maybe we grow from that. I know I have more empathy as a result. And if there weren't bad times we wouldn't enjoy the good times as much. I know there are people with disabilities far worse than mine. And there are people in worst circumstances than mine. Try to be grateful for what you do have even if it feels like very little, concentrate on that and I think it will make more.

Atthepark, it's not good for you to be po'd all the time but I can guarantee you

that you are not the only one. Keeping up with the changes in the world are not

easy. Why can't things stay the same?? Then we were never advance in our world

or learn from new experiences. Is it frustrating, of course. Will it make any

difference down the road, NO. So we do our best, we take a breath and say

"it is what it is" and go on with our day. Getting angry doesn't solve the issue

but just makes us bitter and our life more unpleasant.

Believe me, no one has a free floating life. We all have our triggers Breathe xx

I hate technology and how it ruined the world I'm so bitter it's like I don't want to learn this new stuff but to stay current I have to and I don't have a job that dies alot of stuff on computers I don't have a desk job so I'm real behind and I took a computers class in college I didn't understand anything the professor was saying and everyone else understood and I was too embarrassed to ask for an explanation and help from her I learned some things from my tutor but I honest forgot a lot and my dad and son say I don't have enough computer skills for 21 st century and I'm too scared to take another computer class and fail again but I'm trying to go to the library where its free to learn basics but I already feel I have the basics it's all so frustrating to me

That all sounds seriously frustrating and I don’t blame you for getting upset. My mom is the same way with technology, she gets physically angry and lashes out - I work in cybersecurity so she often asks me for help. I have found (through helping her) that YouTube.com is a great resource to learn about technology - just type in your question and bam, results.

I hope this helps at least a little. You aren’t alone and I’m glad you found our community.

Ok I'll try it. I signed up for a free Microsoft excel computer program w good will . I haven't started it yet but I hope it helps.

I think you were in the wrong class. If you didn't understand so much of what the tutor was telling you and they were not aware of how you were struggling, they're definitely not a great teacher. Try getting into a class that starts from where you are in your understanding. There has to be someone you can talk to who can put you in the right direction. It's a waste of time if you're in a class that is starting out way above your understanding. It's not that you can't do it; you have not yet been in a position to progress beyond where you were, and having a break from learning something new does not help. Please get help with that one thing and life will seem much brighter. All these other things that are worrying you are small in comparison and will sort themselves out when you become less stressed. I went through this when I was younger. I'm going through a bad time now but it's not an unlucky star; it's a bad choice I made forty years ago. If there is a way out for me it will be a bit drastic for someone at my stage in life. One step at a time, atthepark. Keep focused.🤗🤗

[Atthepark in reply to MaggieSylvie]

Yeah I actually signed up for a free online computer class for excel w good will hopefully I can learn confidence learning this program and not feel so out of sorts w computers and technology wish me luck.

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Atthepark]

Does online work for you? I do wish you luck, but you might need money more than luck, to join a class with real people in it.

[Atthepark in reply to MaggieSylvie]

Yeah I haven't started the class so idk how it's going to go

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Atthepark]

Well, good luck anyway, and just keep positive!🤗🤗

I can relate, I often feel cheated in life because of the toxic, abusive actions of others. As I've grown, I've taken fate into my own hands.

I always like to think "solutions, not problems". I don't ignore that crappy things happen, but I try not to dwell on them. I find it helpful to vent out my frustrations while journaling or to a couple of friends... then I move on and put my energy into something that might help better my life. Sometimes are easier than others, especially when you see a streak of bad luck.

Atthepark, I'm right there with you. Not a day goes by that I'm not frustrated

by new technology and my daughter tells me to "figure it out yourself". It doesn't

come easy for me so I totally understand where you are coming from.

Oh and don't get me started on the new 4-5 G cell phones.. My old flip phone

worked nicely but technology changes in the blink of an eye. Breathe my friend xx
