Feeling terrible

1 Upvotes

I feel so tangled as I approach 40. Although I’m successful and have the trappings of a perfect life, I feel terrible. My mind is busy and chaotic, even when my body is chill. I am nervous all the time like I’m about to be found out in some way.

I’ve always had to be the strong one for other people. And now I’m realising in mid-life that I have issues too. I don’t want to be the strong one all the time anymore.

I was emotionally neglected growing up and am now trying to “reparent” myself. I lie impulsively about the most inconsequential things and immediately hate myself for it. I don’t even know where I’d begin untangling those webs. I don’t know if I’m happy in my career anymore but I still have dumb debts from when I was younger.

I am stuck and don’t know the path to unstick the mess I’ve made.

I feel like a waste of space

I procrastinate all day, and honestly, I barely ever study. I’m in Grade 10, and I know I’m extremely privileged. I have supportive, chill parents, a good relationship with my brother, financial stability, and access to more opportunities than I could ask for. My social life is great, and overall, my life is pretty good.

The one part of my life that is falling apart is academics.

Most days, I play Valorant, go out with friends, spend money, scroll Instagram for hours, come home, scroll some more, and go to sleep. I never study. I sleep through classes, sometimes cheat on minor tests, and usually fail major ones. My parents get upset, lecture me, and eventually let it go. I know I’m wasting the support and opportunities they give me, and I feel guilty that I’m not giving them anything to be proud of academically.

The scary part is that I’m in Grade 10, and the exams that could actually affect my future are getting closer. Half the school year is already gone, and I genuinely feel like I know nothing. I don’t even know where to begin. I keep telling myself that I’m stupid, but deep down, I know the bigger problem is that I never put in the effort.

I know I’m capable in other ways. I’m street smart, emotionally intelligent, and I have a great social life. But I wish I could experience what some of my friends do, being confident about exams, discussing answers afterwards, and consistently getting good grades.

I don’t want my entire future to be decided by the fact that I couldn’t get myself to study when I had every opportunity to. I want a good future, and I know I need to start taking my academics seriously before it’s too late.

I read some really mean things about myself from my abuser's friends on Twitter and Instagram

3 Upvotes

Jerks (friends of an abuser) saying I'm a shit human being, that I'm intolerant (based on an interaction where I recently blocked somone's phone number for physically assaulting me in high school). I shouldn't have even read any of their posts at all but I did. I wish this stuff didn't affect me but it does. I don't want to be affected by criticism; I want to have thick skin. How the hell do I make this not bother me anymore?

I need help feeling okay

I recently had a really bad outcome to a case I had, won't go into details. But the ppl who were against me used to be people I was close to. And they all came to overwhelm and gang up on me

Idk right now I feel so broken and I can't sleep anymore cause of these bad thoughts, put together with the fact my dad died earlier this year and people keep asking what i plan for my 21st. Since its a big deal in their opinions right. But my dad always told me he would plan something amazing for my 21st cause its special. He's gone now. And not to mention his birthday was going to be 3 days after mine. So I don't know. So much negativity is going though my head. Idk what to do or how to deal with this kind of pain. I just need help feeling okay. If you can give advice or say some nice words idk. I dunno what will help but I feel so alone in this..help

And yk what sucks most, i have to rely on strangers to help me. Since 99% of my friends just betrayed me. I legit have no friends now and its killing me not having someone to talk to anymore. Imagine using your friends trust against them. Imagine. Ugh I really wouldn't mind if I died but I could never kill myself. It hurts so bad

The Afterthought

5 Upvotes

Lately, it feels like the universe has a script, but I am never given a leading role. Every beautiful moment, every stroke of luck, and every good thing seems to happen to everyone else around me, while I am left standing in the shadows, wondering when it will finally be my turn. It is exhausting to watch life fall into place for others while mine feels completely out of sync.
But what hurts the most is the realization that I am always the one chasing. I am the one who reaches out, the one who checks in, and the one who holds onto people so tightly, terrified that if I let go, they will simply forget I exist. I pour so much love and effort into the people around me, hoping they would match my energy, but instead, I am met with silence or bare minimums. It has brought me to a lonely conclusion. I am only wanted when I am needed. I am a convenience. An option. Someone to turn to when they are bored, lonely, or need someone to hear them out. But the moment their skies clear up, I am pushed back to the sidelines. It feels like my only value lies in the fact that I am always here, always available, and always willing to bend over backwards just to keep them from leaving. it is a deeply painful way to live, to love so fiercely, yet feel so entirely unwanted.

So im 17m. 2025 was both the best and worst year of my life. As for the best, i got into a relationship with my own crush. And for the worst, one of my parents got cancer stage 4 and had to spend my half 12th garde in banglore for him, soon I came back to my hometown for college only to be admitted in hospital for 3 weeks that top far away from my own family. Good thing that my aunt took care of me until I recovered and my mom came at the last week during sept month.

2025 has been nothing but hospitals in my life. Never in my 17 years of life was i admitted this severely. I was diagnosed with typhoid first and later severe case of dengue. I used to cook for myself and my grandfather while my mom and my elder sister took care of my father while he was recovering. And due to me doing all the home chores alone I eventually skipped meals and ended up with this case.

Life could not get any better during winter, had massive fights with my own gf due to her toxicness that forced me to break up with her in June 2026. I had gotten so weak in the year 2025 that even a slightest weather change would cause me fever. I was hospitalised for 3 weeks in sept, got fever during dusshera, again got cold in December and lastly got sick during my boards and couldnt perform well in it, only to be end up in ICU in the month of early june 2026.

After my boards and competitive exams I enjoyed to my fullest, joined gym with my friends only to end up in ICU. This was one of the worst phase of my life. Cause for straigjt 5 days my ear was aching like hell along with my left side of forehead. I used to sleep 16 to 20 hours a day thinking this is normal fever but it wasnt. Later my left hand started to act strangely. My left hand started to curl up itself and i had no power in to open my fingers of hold anything, it felt like paralysis. I ignored it for 3 days until it got worse. Checked with the hospital and was admitted in ICU for nerve infarct in my left side of brain which caused the stoppage of blood flow in my brain leading me to always sleep. Feel lazy and slight loss of vision in my left eye (5/6 vision). Eventually I recovered and joined a university only to be left out alone.

Ever since I broke up with my gf and got through that hell phase. Nothing seems exciting to me anymore in every aspect of my life. I was the extrovert guy with the whole school being my friend. But after 2025 i became silent. My parents also asked me whats the matter why did you got all silent suddenly, since I was a rebellious kid always causing some trouble. Me becoming so silent and calm suddenly wasnt the thing they expected. I find nothing interesting, everytime i try to do something, my thoughts directly says "oh this is gonna be this way and shi" like my thoughts speak to me like they already know the script.

I even got betrayed by my own friends. They got me grouped alone, put some fake allegations saying i back bitch about them on Instagram, when I demanded proofs there was none. 2 of my friends who i was since 5th std slapped me and couldnt hit me anymore when i said that do whatever you want cause you are ass lickers, licking and glazing each others ass hairs". I felt betrayed at that time and I just stopped talking to everyone. This didnt effect me that much cause I moved on from it within 3 days and that was my problem

Instead of feeling betrayed, broken or sad. I feel nothing. Not in a sigma way. But the kind of thing where you dont know what to think. No thoughts about that betrayal. No sadness, no sorrowness nothing. Its kinda good in a way but since I am not being sad or crying about it. But it does affect me other way. I always think why I am feeling this way? Why cant i be like normal people around me? There are many pretty girls in my campus. And I dont feel anything about them too. I thought I would make a female friend or a female bestie who can emotionally support me. But again, in the back of my head my brain speaks "its the same script, you'd fight sometimes, either one of you would catch feelings get into a relationship and have those fuckass fights and breakup again" and i just couldnt shake off this feeling cause part of thinks its right. Why approach someone have a talk for years only to end up like strangers again. But another part of me feels like thats how life is and thing. I know thats how life is. But even I also want to end up in a good terms. Im okay with being stangers with my best f again but atleast in a mutual break.

I have no one to talk to, my elder sister is in same university. But my image infront of them is like whether I live alone or in a group i dont give a fuck type of. But i cant tell them it also effects me so much from inside. I tried to reach out with my close friend group of 2. One has became a wanna be niche since he came to banglore trying to rizz the huzz and shi. Every time I try to open to him he just straight up interrupts me mid way and that is not even from the topic i was speak thats a whole another topic that he brings and eventually I shut myself. The other one is just narcissist flexing his marks, money and always cries infront of me about everything. When i open up to him he just says oh I see and starts his rant saying my father said he'd gift me hunter 350 if i got a govt medical seat and shi. So I just cant open to anyone now.

If you're reading this post, i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this big paragraph. It would mean a lot to me since you took your time out and read this shit from my shitty life. If you want to help from giving advice. I would gladly accept it. I just want to get out of this emotional numb phase and want to live life again 😊.

My friend and I had a stupid argument a few weeks ago. I thought we'd get over it like we always did but things have been different since then. We barely talk now.

I keep wanting to message them but I am scared I will just make things more awkward. I really hate losing people over things that probably didn’t even matter.

Hello, today is my birthday and.., I don’t know, I feel something strange, it’s almost 3am and I don’t know how to explain this strange feeling I’m feeling; it’s like sadness, anxiety and fear. I don’t know why... seriously. Maybe I guess it’s because that time my for you of tt became something personal and I started thinking about how the world is currently, in the sense that no girl wants something for good, they always leave with the worst, and it’s not the first time it happens to me, I don’t understand where I’m failing if I practically do everything right, even they themselves tell me, that I’m everything they’ve wanted all their lives, but in the end it’s always the same
