Discussion Living a lie?

[Fadeawaaaay]

I feel like I woke up and realized that I'm a fuck up. I've been mediocre or worse my whole life in ever facet (professional, etc) and never entirely realized it until now. With endless hours on my hands I've been replaying every moment and realizing how poorly I performed. No wonder I've ended up here while my peers have excelled. Anyone else woken up to your own failure?

 

[Ligottian]

Yes. When I was a child and early teen, my parents tended to regard me as a fair haired boy destined for success. Made good grades at school, never got into trouble, etc. I'm not going to give a long story, but let's say it didn't work out that way. In fact, were it not for a few lucky breaks that allowed me to obtain secure, decent paying employment, I don't know what would have happened to me. I've always been a total failure when it comes to romantic relationships and not much better in the friendship department. I'm now in late middle age, so there's not really much chance of turning anything around.

Yep. I realised my whole life has been absolute rubbish. I just take that for granted now.

I started out with near-endless potential and evolved into a complete and utter failure by any metric other than the fact that I continue to breath. I thought I was aware of it happening as it was happening, but I must have checked out at some point because, yes, one day I did wake up and realize I was much further gone than I had realized.

I'm not living a lie, I'm living a mistake that I haven't even made. Something that I can only undergo helpless.
