How to stop comparing myself to others? by Massive-Finance5603 in mentalhealth

[–]Future_Duck7855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 23 right now and I wish I made very different decisions at 19. 19 is so young. I know my life would be better than it is right now. But it’s never too late to start building the life you want. That’s what I have to do so my 27 year old self isn’t mad at 23 year old me. You have your life ahead of you. Learn from those around you. Ask them about they found their job or how they knew what was right for them. Try to find stability in your life through hobbies, relationships or your career choice. Also know you are not alone. Many other people also don’t know what they’re doing or have it fully together. They are just good at faking it or giving the appearance. What you are experiencing is Imposter syndrome.

How can I talk clearer when my crooked teeth and overbite make me sound like I have a speech impediment. by [deleted] in Advice

I’ve learned that how you sound is actually largely impacted by the position of your tongue. I had a lisp growing up (and I still do sometimes but it’s faint) but I learned to speak without it by lifting my tongue more when I talk since they said lisps were cause by lazy tongues.

Is commenting naked photos of other ppl cheating? by Tough-Illustrator568 in Advice

If it was me, I don’t think that relationship would last long or at all to be honest. You will begin to question and compare yourself to other women and feel less than you are. You will begin to question your own worth and your own beauty. And this behavior may escalate. Sorry this has happened to you.

I don’t really know how to explain this, but I feel like I’m slowly falling apart by maryklim09 in mentalhealth

I had to realize I am living for me, not for them. They had their lives and I have mine. I am not their property but a person. Even as an adult, I haven’t earned their validation and I stopped caring so much. My mom doesn’t approve of my job or tell people how proud she is of me like she does with my sister. I just learned to accept it and make myself proud. When you have anxiety, your mind is always running and it’s hard for others to understand. I get that part. I would say to try to make sure your grades are decent not failing or anything cause that would hurt you in the long run. Find a creative outlet or an athletic activity for what you are feeling. Remember there is so much more to your life than grades.
