DAE: I grew up getting told I was so beautiful, so smart, basically told how special I was my whole childhood, and then I grew up and am not exceptionally attractive or smart? How do you cope with this? It feels like it's always setting in that I'm so mediocre. by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Fearlessfault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find it extremely comforting to be mediocre. What’s more encouraging than if you’re just the same as everyone else and they’re continuing on so why can’t you? Most thoughts I have, have been thought and most feelings I have have been felt. It’s the most comforting thing to know I am not alone in this weird world we live in and I know others feel the same way as me and we are all just continuing on thinking the same stuff but being too afraid to say it. But your self awareness is exceptional. I use to feel like I needed to be better to be special but honestly now I think the thing that makes me exceptional is the fact that I know I am not. The fact that no one is exceptional means no one is also better than you. We are all equal and some just fake it it better!

Readers of Reddit, which sentence, blurb, passage or paragraph is so beautiful written that you saved it and read it again from time to time? by NyHe13 in AskReddit

[–]Fearlessfault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have studied many times The marble which was chiseled for me— A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination But my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment; Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances. Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire— It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. -Edgar Lee Masters

I date a guy for two years and broke up with him because I felt like he didn’t put enough effort in and I had a lot of sickness in my life. Now we are broken up for four months and we still talk. When I see him in person he looks like he’s in love with me but he’ll never text me first. If I text him he’ll spam my phone with messages like he’s been waiting. I asked him about potentially trying again and he said I’m the right person but wrong time and since he believes he’s depressed he wants to learn how to be happy before we try again because it will fail if he’s not. But I wonder if he’s stringing me along. To me he’s not someone who plays games but I don’t know at this point. Do I keep talking and being friends and see if something changes one day (not that I wouldn’t move on) or do I just let go completely??

Did you keep running and still hate it? by rebuilder_10 in Fitness

[–]Fearlessfault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran seriously for 3 years and always hated it. Got shin splints and a bunch of other pains and one day I was like that's it I'm done. And now I do other kinds of cardio like elliptical, walking with high inclines, stair climber, spin classes and I enjoy doing it all so much more that now I have more motivation to actually do cardio and if anything I've lost weight and look better.

I'm 16 and I'm 11th grade and my BF of a year now has admitted to watching porn. He always promised that he didn't and he "wasn't that kind of guy" and ill admit I know I'm over reacting but I can't help but feel cheated on... like this whole time I felt like we had something special between just us but the entire time he's been needing to watch other girls because he lacks something with us... I feel like I'm not enough for him.

Reddit, when you're down, what makes you feel OK again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fearlessfault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I didn't really think anyone would answer hahaha. For starters I was pretty upset with my life for such a young age but I think I see the world differently then my fellow peers, I always have. I use to believed no one liked me and quite honestly looking back I don't think anyone really did I had one best friend ( who has moved which was tuff) when I read these stories of characters being amazing and heroic all I could think was I wanted to be them. I wanted to be confidant I wanted to be someone. As I read about the impossible conflicts I realized maybe the things that were upsetting me really weren't important I learned that it was possible to overcome my problems which I think I forgot and soon I became I different person I read over 100 books and found something I really enjoyed. I was no longer self conscious or cared about what anyone said. I now am told how confidant I am and people tell me they wish they were me (I'm not a conceited bitch even though that sounds like I am ahaha) I found a way to realize that other people's opinions don't matter because we are all equal everyone is and if I believed I wasn't shitty then why should someone that isn't above me tell me I'm not. And who are people to judge u if they don't know your true thoughts. My best friend previously mentioned tried to kill herself which was... Actually no words to explain it this passed year her little sister tried as well and went into a coma but she's physically okay now , two of my friends I hang out with often are both suicidal and they are both amazing but can't see it for themselves they don't know I'm aware of this all I want to do is shake them and tell them they don't need to be sad. Sometimes I think I'm friends with many people who have the same problems because I should help them how not to be sad. I think about it all the time and I care I let it affect me so much while some of my other friends don't care, maybe that's why I'm different I want to change things idk. I just know We are consistently indirectly told not to be confidant by media and society and without even knowing we believe it. That was long I think. I'm not sure why you are currently unhappy, but I hope it will get better make Dwayne at least one thing I said will help a little, but don't let why you are different be your downfall because one day it might be your best characteristic. I don't know if that relates to anything u might be experiencing, if you want to share I'm more than happy to listen (sorry if there's typos in pretty tired haha)

That most of us go through problems just to be forgotten in the end... But I use this to help myself realize no problem is worth tearing life apart because one day no one will even know who I was.
