What is the story and why is everyone talking about you? I heard about you and knew your story before you have even told me it. Sometimes people love to think they know better than you are about yourself. Have you ever had someone feel like they lived through you and go I would not have done that or that. You should do this and this next. Its not that this is bad or someone trying to hurt you. It could just be them trying to help you without you having to ask for it. Since they were not trying to hurt you, I would be polite about it. You could disregard it or say thank you and do what you want to do. People would always like to push you in a direction, so you need to know where you want to go, or you could be going somewhere. Please do not keep doing the same thing if it is not working. That does not mean you cannot try to push the same idea across but try to do it in an unusual way when things are not working. I like reading stories about people and trying to understand their lives. Even though it may have been different time periods or different continents they still had successes or problems going on that can be related to. Learning something new is a good thing to do and refusing to learn to learn new things is not the way if you want to grow yourself. To grow yourself you may need to have different experiences to see what you enjoy and do not enjoy. You can always try something and if you hate it, just bail. My life was about finding about and connecting with myself and what I want to be about. It was about dealing with the crappy things that happen and enjoying the positive things that continue to happen. You can learn a lot even if you do not leave your house. Yes, it will be hard for you to meet actual people to hang out with, but life will knock at your door if you wait for it. Be happy you are where you are. Be ok with the decisions you make and the feelings you have about them. If you feel you cannot do something right, then force yourself to do something right. You can take care of yourself and what you need to do in the moment and that is something positive you can add about yourself. Then you can think of something else and go from there. We tend to be hard on ourselves because of all the missed opportunities we feel we have. What if we never actually miss an opportunity? What if what we wanted was bad for us and not good enough for us? Could it be there are bigger things out there for you? You can always break free and choose to do what you want. You can let the fear take over or you can decide for yourself.
