<p>Eh, sorry if this sounds whiney, I just really have nowhere else to talk. Anyway, lately I've been feeling really useless, and I keep on thinking that if I happened to die or go away, then no one would remember me. Yesterday, my band played a song at my school's talent show, and we did awesome. My friend James and I both played guitar solos, except the crowd went wild for James, and I barely got any applause. Plus, there was a girl in the audience that I was really, really trying to impress, and I doubt I did anything to impact her considering she didn't talk to me at all after the performance. The same thing happened at another show today. Besides that, my grades have slowly been slipping, and I really don't feel needed or wanted.</p>
<p>Anyone go through this? Please do tell me about it, and please tell me how you got through it. This morning when I woke up, I just looked out the window for half an hour thinking of reasons for me to get up. I couldn't think of one. Any advice you could give me</p>
<p>Yep...same here.</p>
<p>I think I'm consider the second smartest kid at school or third depending on their criteria. With since I'm friends with the smartest...you feel kinda useless... Just knowing everything I did was only second to his...Then you really wonder why life is worth living. My parent's don't help..they're just the whining type complaining about why I should do better. </p>
<p>So what I did I do? I just stop thinking about it. When you dwell on things...Everything just gets worse. Don't ask why. Don't even think about why. And with the girls, confront them. Carpe Diem. Find new addictions, nondrug of course. Do something new...Laughing is always great. Just don't get wrapped up in dwelling on such things and live life. Get sleep.</p>
<p>Perfectionism is a psychological disorder.</p>
<p>How about getting up with a mindset that you are going to try something new everyday? Or trying to help ppl. "Just take life by the horns" (from that Dodge commercial :p)</p>
<p>It can be something small like:
Helping a stranger
Give compliments to a friend
Actually don't procrastinate before that big test
Read a new book
Go talk to that cute girl who is working at that lame restaurant
Teach your dog a new trick
Learn something new
Go out to eat with that old friend whom you haven't talk to in awhile
Party it up
Date around
Learn a new song on your guitar
Get to know a new set of ppl at your school</p>
<p>Or you can try something big like:
Go crazy with your friends (party all the time or get smashed every weekend)
Learn a new sport or join a new team
Volunteer or get a job
Ask out that girl you like on a date
Write a book
Go skydiving or surfing (always been my dream to surf :(...)
Flirt around with hot girls
Hang out with a new group of ppl for a weekend
Learn a new instrument
Learn to be more outgoing </p>
<p>Yeah thats all I could think of. Hope i helped and GL</p>
<p>Anyway, no one is ever useless or unforgettable. Its just that you got alil bit of self-esteem problem or life isn't going good right now. Dude, you have to take charge to make a change. You can't just mope all day around feeling bad about yourself...just do something about it. Talk to a friend or parents about your problems if you need more advice. Just remember that you have something to offer in life (could be your talents or personality). And you can always lend a helping hand in someone else's life. When life is alil bad right now, take some initative to make a positive difference in your life.</p>
<p>Yeah.. that was long but GL</p>
<p>I must have a psychological disorder then. HAHAHA. ;)</p>
<p>I feel useless sometimes too. It's like nothing will EVER be good enough for me, which is VERY BAD... This is probably due to all the high expectations and pressure to always, always be the BEST. Thank you very much, my dear parents. Even if I DO perform well, they're just like ok, move on and achieve more on something else now. There's no GOOD JOB. It's allll taken for granted. Makes me laugh when I imagine myself NOT doing all the things they take for granted. THEN WHAT? [not that I would ever do something like that because that would probably get me in SO much trouble...] Anyway, just always do your best and don't obsess every single time you "fail" at some task/goal. That's how I get through everything daily :)</p>
<p>Start showing off your guitar skills more often. Chances are that your friend is more recognized by your peers as a guitar player than you are, and that is enough right there to make your peers cheer for him. It's not necessarily that he's more talented than you are.</p>
<p>meh, I'm pretty sure I am useless lol.</p>
<p>I'm just not extremely skillful at anything I do. I do a lot of things, just none of them on a great level. It makes me sad sometimes.</p>
<p>my only use in life is pwning people at mortal kombat</p>
<p>I feel useless too, but on a level like in society and in the world, which is my entire motivation to make myself useful and to make a contribution to society in the future with my career, hopefully.</p>
<p>Though I can be quite the perfectionist too...yeah, I'm really trying to let that go. I get too uptight from it.</p>
<p>No no, just hungry</p>
<p>All the time. Like now actually.</p>
