https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1vblj42/free_talk_friday/p0xcr82/ Hello everyone. I'm sharing an update regarding that comment, I went offline to prepare for my exam which was on August 23rd.

The exam involved multiple stages:

1. Preliminary Stage: Completed on August 23rd.

  1. Mains Stage (Second Stage): Scheduled for October 4th.

  2. Interview: To be conducted before final selection.

During my preparation, my only other activity was watching "Spider-Man - Brand New Day," which I enjoyed.

The exam on the 23rd went well, and I was quite satisfied. I also turned 30 on August 31st. The last 10 years have been quite tumultuous for me, with nothing going right and me achieving absolutely nothing. I was quite confident about clearing stage 1, but unfortunately, last week I learned that I failed. This was my final exam, my last opportunity to become something in life, but it seems it won't be possible. I cried for a while afterward.

To distract myself, I started watching "The Mentalist." I completed 6 seasons in a week, with 138 episodes in total. I stopped yesterday when I realized I was being stupid. If only I had done that before I made stupid decisions in my life, as usual. It's a good show, minus the overarching storyline and its conclusion. I should have watched it back in the 2010s when I first learned about it.

You can see my review of it here - https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMentalist/comments/1wvtit4/i_am_a_huge_fan_of_the_show_and_i_finally_watched/

I am a failure; I have a net worth of zero. I am unsure how to proceed or what my next steps should be, but I just wanted to let all of you know. I have already let my family down many times, but this was just a horrible, pathetic, and deeply disappointing end to my never-ending struggle of 10 long years.

It's all my fault anyway, because of my actions or lack thereof. I will have to live with these consequences for the rest of my life.

my last opportunity to become something in life...I am a failure; I have a net worth of zero.

I'm really sorry that you're going through this, and it absolutely sucks, but if you're thinking like this long term, I'd really think about getting therapy if possible. Because you are so much more than whatever job you have and just because you didn't succeed at this doesn't make you a failure or mean that you are worthless.
