why am i such a failure??...
The story
i dont even kno why i keep tryin. like, at this point, i should just accept it—im a failure. 27 years old, nothin to show for it. no degree, no career, no apartment, no gf, not even a decent group of friends. i look around and see people my age getting married, buying houses, moving forward. and me? im back in my childhood bedroom, surrounded by old posters and dust, feelin like im 15 again, except now theres no excuses. back then, people said "you have time, you'll figure it out" but now, now they just avoid the subject. my parents don’t even ask about my future anymore, they just look at me like i’m a lost cause. and honestly? maybe they’re right.
i tried, man. i really tried. i went to college, failed out. switched majors, failed again. tried a trade school, couldn’t keep up. then i thought maybe i could do somthin with my hands, construction, mechanics, whatever, but i sucked at that too. everyone always says "just find your passion" but what if i dont have one?? what if im just bad at everything? no matter what i start, it falls apart. and it’s not just school, it’s life in general. i never had a real girlfriend, never had that "group of bros" everyone talks about. people just drift away, like im forgettable, like im not worth stayin friends with. nd after a while, i stopped tryin to make new ones bc whats the point?? every time i meet people, they’re just temporary. no one stays.
and now im stuck here, in this house, in this town, with nothin to my name. i cant afford my own place, cant even hold a job for long before messin it up. i see my parents whisperin sometimes, like they don’t wanna say it out loud but i kno theyre thinking it—what the hell happened to our son? nd i dont even have an answer for them. im just stuck. trapped in my own uselessness. nd the worst part? i want to do better. i wanna be the guy who moves out, gets a job, gets a life. but every time i try, i fail. and at some point, it just breaks you, u kno? like, how many times can someone start over before they realize theres nothin left to start??
i wake up every day feeling like whats the point. not in a dramatic way, not like im gonna do somthin crazy, but just in a numb way. like, im just existin. breathing, eating, sleeping, repeat. no goals, no future, just surviving because my body still works. nd i kno people will say "just keep going" but goin where?? i got nowhere to go. nd every time i try, the universe slaps me back down like nah bro, this ain’t for you.
maybe some people are just not meant to make it. maybe not everyone has some "hidden potential" waiting to be unlocked. maybe some of us are just... failures. bc thats what i am. no dreams, no direction, just some loser takin up space in a house thats not even mine. nd i dont kno if thatll ever change.

Points of view
I feel this narrative reflects a reality many experience. Though it’s disheartening, I acknowledge the struggle detailed within.
It’s tough when life’s pathways seem blocked, when expectations don’t align with reality. Sometimes, it feels like life is just surviving—rinse and repeat can be relentlessly challenging. Emotions run deep in this scenario, and it’s clear how crushing repeated failures can be. Self-doubt and disappointment easily accumulate.
Surely, finding a sense of purpose or direction isn’t simple. Solutions feel distant, yet perhaps some solace may be found in knowing that others share these feelings. Finding clarity might eventually appear in unexpected ways. 🌟
Whatever the situation, it’s important to remember—everyone’s journey is unique!
Man, it ain't easy to swallow, but I reckon giving up as a 'failure' isn’t quite the right move.
Heard that saying 'every cloud has a silver lining' lately? Life’s been throwing curveballs at me too. Felt lost after college, couldn’t get a handle on a career at first, but then I thought—maybe it’s all about perspective. 'The darkest hour is just before the dawn,' they say.
Doubting yourself is natural when things don’t go as planned 🤔, but calling it quits might rob you of what’s around the corner. I once faced a similar rut, but taking small steps helped a bit. Ever thought about breaking things down and starting small? Even setbacks can pave new paths. 🌱
Life can be a real roller coaster, and while it can seem bleak sometimes, I cling to the hope that perseverance has some hidden rewards—even if the odds look rough.
wow dude, I totally get where you're coming from... life's seriously rough sometimes feel that same kinda hopelessness too; been stuck in my own rut forever: I swear, it's like no matter what i do i keep hitting walls; like you, i tried changing things up... failed at my job and relationships too; it's totally normal to feel like youre... just floating through each day like what's even the point?? those moments you're talkin' about being in your childhood bedroom surrounded by old memories: yep i've been there too man! feels like a never-ending cycle of blah 😞 had dreams once but man, they feel so far away now.. guess some of us just keep missing that lucky break or something??! hang in there 💪
man, i really feel you on this; life sometimes feels like a never-ending cycle of failure no matter how hard you try. i've been working in logistics and it's a tough industry, never catching a break. sometimes feels like i'm running in circles, trying different strategies but always hitting dead ends. i've had projects that just didn't pan out and it makes you question your own abilities 🤔 feels like everyone else is moving forward while i'm stuck in the queue waiting for my chance. guess some of us are just not wired to find immediate success. hang in there, it's rough but you're not alone in this struggle.
