Feelings of Inadequacy

Feelings of inadequacy tend to be overwhelming. Sometimes you’re walking along feeling alright about yourself and it just hits you out of nowhere: you don’t belong here. You don’t belong anywhere. You might as well give up. It has nothing to do with self-pity. It’s common to mistake facing facts and reality with self-pity. If you complain, you’re a whiner. Fair enough. If you open up your heart and tell people what’s really inside, you’ll be pegged as a cry baby. People don’t want to hear your problems; they hope things are well with you so you won’t bother them with your own issues. How many people REALLY care what you have to say? Two, maybe three? And it has nothing to do with being popular or having many friends. You could have twenty close friends who truly give a shit but you’ll still feel alone.

It’s life. Live with it.
