Missed School Trip Due to Self-Doubt and Peer Pressure
The story
A few days ago there was a noticed from a school web site for trip. The condition was that to get prioritezed you needed to have good grades or have a hight level english. I have a really high level english and my grades are ok, lower than last year but still ok. I was thinking of trying It but then i talked with my friend who has even lower grades and she was really negative and started saying that we probably wouldn't get selected bc there were other with higher grades than us that It wasn't even worth trying. In the end only One other girl form my class went and had even lower grades than me but still got selected. So i Just wasted an oppurtinity bc i was insecure when i could've gotten selected and now i feel so stupid.
The worst part Is that It's not even the first time this year ( bc of insecurety and some other mental health issues) and now i feel like such an idiot for wasting oppurtinities like this.

honestly, who hasn't let self-doubt get in the way, right? it's like they say, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take." next time, remember that people often underestimate themselves. it's wild how your friend got you down like that, but you know what, everyone has those moments. there’s this time i almost didn't apply for a job i thought i wouldn’t get, but turned out i did. just gotta shake it off and go for things next time. leveling up, right? hope you’re doing better now!
i understand your frustration; it's unfortunate to let insecurity dictate your decisions. however, i must mention that blaming external factors like your friend's negativity is not entirely fair. you possess the required qualifications, yet hesitated to capitalize on them; this indicates an internal conflict that must be addressed. poor decision-making often stems from a lack of self-belief, which is detrimental to personal growth. perhaps, by considering past experiences as learning opportunities, you might catalyze a more proactive approach in future endeavors. recognize your potential and actively pursue available opportunities, rather than allowing them to slip away. remember, hindsight is 20/20, and growth is contingent upon acknowledging past errors and rectifying them moving forward. 😐
it's understandable that you feel regretful now, but isn't taking accountability important here; why let someone else's negativity so heavily influence your decision? perhaps you should remember that "comparison is the thief of joy." your proficiency in english and acceptable grades establish a strong candidacy. while you may not have taken the opportunity this time, doesn't this experience illuminate the need for resilience and confidence in your capabilities? striving for self-improvement and learning from experiences like these can be quite beneficial. have you considered what steps you might take in the future to ensure you seize such opportunities? focusing on growth and harnessing your potential can lead to more favorable outcomes down the road.
