No matter what I do, it goes wrong, and honestly I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t bother me. Nothing I try ever works out, and at this point it feels normal to expect things to fail. People keep telling me to try again or stay positive, but they don’t see how embarrassing it gets when you keep failing over and over. It makes you feel stupid and behind, like everyone else knows what they’re doing except you. When I look at my life, it just feels like a bunch of attempts that went nowhere, and that hurts more than I like to admit.
