Avenge the suffering Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Life is never good for me. I can never seem to escape bullies (parents, siblings, other students, coworkers), I can never develop confidence and social skills, and I can never stop being lonely. Life doesn't seem worth it at this point, there is no reward at the end. Just endless suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenge the suffering Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Well, the worst part about my life is that I don't seem to have any friends to rely on. And I can't seem to make any either, because people don't like depressed, not confident, awkward people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatBoy Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well, the worst part about my life is that I don't seem to have any friends to rely on. And I can't seem to make any either, because people don't like depressed, not confident, awkward people. We obviously don't know a ton about you right now - age, situation, job, who's bullying you and in what form.What are you comfortable doing - do you have a hobby or strong interest? Perhaps joining a club in an area of strong interest for you, or doing some volunteer work?I'm sorry, but I agree. Folks don't like to be around depressed, awkward people. But we can develop. Take your area of expertise and turn it into a positive for you.Not to give you a rah rah story, but I know exactly how you feel. But over the years at work I became the company expert in a couple of areas. As I found people listening to me and understanding that they depended on me for information and guidance I became more confident in leading meetings, one-on-one dialogs, and imparting that guidance to others. I'm still pretty quiet in areas where others have the information/chops, but am more willing to voice questions and participate in discussions.Don't know who's bullying you, but they're jerks. We ALL have SOMETHING to offer others.Best wishes - stick with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
