do you feel like you have no skills or qualities

Post Reply New Topic

Theres a lot of everyday things i cant do and im in high school. I cant: whistle, hoola hoop, snap my fingers, walk normal, blow a gum bubble, catch a ball, pronounce words with a th sound, im a bad listener, have no friends, dont understand jokes, dont play video games, im weak. do any of you guys feel this way or are in the same boat. lets try to help each other out.

Im a good listener, I understand jokes, I play video games, but like you I dont have any friends (except on here!) Well I dunno I made a mistake and that might not be true anymore but anyway, yea Im sort of like you in some ways.

Try to focus on your good qualities instead of your bad ones.

I can type; that's about the only skill I have.

I'm in college now and I thought since High School was over, my problems were over too. That's wasn't true.

When I was in High School I didn't have any friends either, everybody thought I was a freak, even the teachers used to think that. I do hate group sports, I can't catch a ball (actually, balls seem to have an extreme affection for my glasses and my nose - which I've broken 2 times in Gym class), I'm umbelievably clumsy and uncoordinated, for that matter I was the last person everybody wanted in their team. Gym class will always be hell's synonymous for me. In work groups everybody wanted to have me in their groups because they knew I would write the paper by myself and they all would end up with good grades.

In college I wasn't a freak anymore. The teachers loved me, I've found a group of people with similar interests, they were all science geeks who loved roleplaying games, I even start dating this boy. But, like everything in life, it wasn't perfect. I'm too... hm... unstable. The boy, suddenly found himself too normal for me. The friends, well, they all like me very much and I love them, but they have this extreme difficulty to understand me. The college wasn't a good choice, I found out I wasn't fit for Biology and my place was among the books. I left college and nobody understood why.

Actually, nobody understood why I got into Biology. Since I was 7 years old, I can draw portraits and paint. My family thought I was going to be and artist, but that was the only thing I can say it's mine. I wouldn't like to make drawings that I won't like only for the money.

I had so many problems with things I can't do that I ended up having problems with things I can do perfectly too. Now, I don't care if everybody thinks I'm a freak or I'm too unstable or I can't do what everyone can do. I have my abilities and that's what keeps me sane (er).

You should focus on your qualities too.

Sorry for writting so much. I can't help that sometimes!

i have that feeling all the time, but its mostly because other people in my area are constantly saying that i can't do anything good (or that they can do everything better). I don't have a clue why other people want me (and also others) to believe i have no skills, even if i've proven it already, that sucks really hard... i dont have a clue... i never will... The ongoing struggle here (where i live) by some others (brothers) to prove that they are smarther then me by insulting me never cease... the reality isn't important, its just the way you say it, pretend it or do it that is important, this so true you should never forget it, but since i hate pretending, its of little use for me.

Oh, and another thing that Im not skilled at is reading peoples posts carefully the first time around lol
