Life Not Lived

Life Not Lived

I feel I have made so many mistakes in life.

I feel like I do not understand how to interact with people in a kind and thoughtful way.

This means that if any even slight disagreement or difference in opinion occurs I take it to be a personal failing on my part and I often step away from things, activities etc in past.

I have had a difference of opinion with someone today, I feel I over reacted in my head. I walked away from conversation at the time, but have felt terrible since, like really terrible. I have tried to apologise but I'm not sure it's really been accepted. I feel like I want to run away. I have done some physical activity to try and feel better.

Hey @Till23 ,

How are you my dear friend?

Re: Life Not Lived

Thanks @tyme

I am scraping through by keeping myself very busy.

The "never good enough" internal messages are very prominent.

I don't know if they'll ever go away. It's very hard living knowing that you seem not to fit into society.

Great minds think alike @Till23 🙂

We connected via email at the same time.

Re: Life Not Lived

Thanks for your kindness and thoughtfulness @tyme

Sorry about my negativity. I have fallen into a bit of a hole after an incident, which has caused my mind to recall other non-optimal interactions, for which I blame myself and leads to the never good enough internal dialogue

Re: Life Not Lived

You are human, just like others here. We have our ups and we have our downs. @Till23

You have been such an amazing support to so many for many many weeks, and if anything, it's our turn to reciprocate that support!

You are a real inspiration.

Re: Life Not Lived

Thank you @tyme

I don't think I'm an inspiration, just a person trying to do my best and trying to help other people. I think helping people is my reason (as long as I can be thoughtful and open and understanding and not "too helpful").

Re: Life Not Lived

But the fact is, you are standing even though things are tough. Even though you have so much going on for you internally and externally, you are still pressing on @Till23 THIS is what makes you an inspiration.
