A lot of us find ourselves comparing ourselves to others but in reality it is only us that we need to impress @Sam3 I have come to believe that if I am true to myself then other things will follow - it does take time in most cases but the payoff is worth it. I try to treat others as I would like to be treated and that is with kindness and compassion - but also with truth - I believe that honesty is really important - even if sometimes it is hard to hear or to say ...and being honest with yourself is sometimes the hardest to deal with.
You have taken such a huge step in coming onto the forum and sharing your thoughts with us all and that is admirable. It does take a brave person to put themselves out there for possible jusgement of others but I also hope you are finding this a non-judgemental place. There truly is a wonderful community here and even when you are down on yourself there will be people to walk along with you and help pull you up when you need it. It really is great having your here.
@MDT Mostly slept today - woke with a massive headache but that has nearly completely gone (with the help of meds). Settle in for the evening now with the cricket on and planning on an early night - early appointment with psych so need to be up and about for that. Great job on looking for work already - you are on top of it and I hope you find something quickly. England is a great option for a young man to further their outlook on life as well as experience new things - I hope you find something.
