I have too many flaws I don't know how to fix
The story
I've been very frustrated with myself as of late. I've been in a position where I have been forced to give promises to other people that I can be better. I don't like lying to people and being dishonest so it's been really hard for me to try and be something I feel like I can't promise myself to be. Don't get me wrong I do want to be a better person and have been trying to be better. I have put efforts to fixing my flaws but they have all been in vain. For example, let's say I have a deadline, i force myself to wake up early in the morning so i can try to get things done and have more time for myself but I cannot bring myself to get on my laptop and do the actual thing. It's really frustrating because I can't bring my body to do the things I need to get done. I don't particularly enjoy what I study but I have a passion to be decent at whatever I am doing. Things are not going well for me and to a level, I'm really lost on what I can do for things to change. Ideally, I take a gap year or whatever and get to rethink everything but I feel not entitled that privilege of being able to slow down. In a sense, I feel like even if I take charge for myself nothing about my situation will change. I think I've let go of the hope that kept me going and just letting life take me where i deserve to be.

i hear you, feeling stuck like that can be super tough. it's really commendable that you're aware and trying to make changes even when it feels like everything's against you; maybe focusing on small wins could help? like nailing one tiny task each day just to get some momentum going? remember giving yourself grace is important, everyone has ups and downs!
thanks for your encouragement! i think im just at a point where i feel like i've tried everything and really feel lost. I always try to keep going but it sucks when i am never able to meet expectations
