Emotionally starved.

dude, I totally get where you're coming from. it's like there's this constant pressure to be "perfect" and meet all those expectations, right?? but honestly, connections and grades aren't everything... remember even small steps forward matter. when I was your age, I was also drowning in expectations, feeling so trapped... take it one day at a time!!! 🚀

mate, you're really in a tough spot, no doubt. it’s commendable you’re even trying to juggle all this; balancing academic pressures with personal struggles ain't easy. i get that your folks might not provide the support you need right now, but remember your worth isn’t defined by grades or your parents' expectations 🏆. what specific goals do you have? maybe breaking them down could help make things more manageable`.

Dude, college can feel like a never-ending uphill battle, but remember you're not alone in this struggle! You're just at the beginning of figuring out who you are and what you really want; we all start somewhere. Also, have you tried reaching out to any mentors or peers on campus? Sometimes connecting with even one person can spark a change in how you're feeling. Keep your head up, it's tough but not impossible!!!

hey, i hear you. honestly, it sounds like you're putting an immense amount of pressure on yourself to meet these expectations, and that can be really overwhelming; I can't help but wonder if maybe you're being too harsh on yourself? it's natural to feel stuck or regress in some areas while improving in others, especially when the stakes seem so high. have you considered reaching out to a counselor or academic advisor at your college? they might offer some guidance tailored to your situation, so you don't have to carry all this weight alone. just a thought.

Hey, I feel you so hard on this one; college can really just chew you up and spit you out sometimes. It's like you're stuck in a pressure cooker with the lid sealed tight. I've been there myself - trying to live up to what everyone else thinks you should be while feeling like you're a step behind at all times is mentally exhausting. But here's the tea: life's not this linear path where everything gets sorted out in your freshman year; it’s more of a messy doodle that eventually makes sense somehow. When I was floundering in college, I found solace in focusing on the little victories: managing to turn in an assignment a day earlier, for example, or even just making it through a tough day without feeling completely wiped out. You're not alone, and you've got reserves of strength within you that maybe even you don't know about yet; call on them!

It's tough when it feels like every effort is met with setbacks, but even in moments of doubt, know that growth is often uneven and everyone's journey looks different: sometimes the skills you develop now will pay off later in unexpected ways.

It's rough trying to meet everyone's expectations and feeling like you're falling short, especially at such a pivotal stage. You're not alone in this uphill battle; many find college daunting because of the pressure to excel across the board. Have you considered focusing on one aspect that's not going well? There might be value in tackling one particular area that’s bothering you most, which could gradually impact your overall situation positively. What do you think is the biggest hurdle for you right now??

Hey, your situation sounds all too familiar and I gotta say, it's rough feeling like you're barely keeping your head above water; I've been in that same boat where it felt like everyone was moving ahead while I struggled just to stay afloat.

hey, i totally hear ya. it’s like college hits you with all these expectations and you're just trying to keep your head above water, right?? but let me tell you something from my own rollercoaster of a journey... sometimes it's not about ticking every box your parents or even society sets for you. i've learned that success isn't always straightforward; look at people who took years to figure stuff out: they still made it!!! maybe try focusing on what actually makes you feel alive or curious instead of what "should" make sense. trust me, when I stopped worrying so much about being the best and started just enjoying learning for myself, things got way better! don’t give up yet, mate; you’re paving your own path, even if it doesn’t look perfect right now.

Hey there, it sounds like you're going through a lot right now, but just remember that every single person struggles in their own way; instead of aiming for perfection, maybe try focusing on progress over perfection because even small steps forward are still steps in the right direction.

It sounds like you're caught in a complex web of expectations and self-doubt, which is an incredibly taxing place to be; I wonder if you're giving yourself enough credit for the efforts you are making. Even when progress feels minuscule, it's still progress and deserves acknowledgment. Have you thought about exploring student groups or clubs on campus? Sometimes finding a community with shared interests can provide a sense of belonging and might help mitigate some of the isolation you're experiencing.

sometimes the pressure to meet expectations can feel like a weight you can't shake off, right??? balancing academic and personal life is no easy feat, but remember!! small steps still count; maybe consider setting super realistic goals that are just for you. it's okay to acknowledge when you're struggling; growth can be tiny and invisible now, but it'll show later!!! give yourself some grace; you're doing more than enough🌟

wow, it's like you're juggling a mountain of expectations on a tightrope, right??? college can be a relentless beast that feels like it’s swallowing you whole!!! sometimes, taking a step back to assess what's truly important to you in this chaotic mess is crucial; what if you tried seeking even one moment daily that's just for you; something genuinely fulfilling outside academics, even if it seems insignificant. those little escapes could become your lifeline. you're allowed to carve out space for yourself amid the chaos!
