Does anyone else feel like an underachiever?

[Serious]

I feel like I should have done more with my life honestly

You're only like 22-23
At least wait til 35

 

[Elle Driver]

Not at all.

 

[Serious]

Millenials are the less accomplished generation
And the ones you see on IG ain't about shyt
A lot of them are only flashing on social media

This is true, Like they're so insecure with themselves that they have to a picture or video of them doing something just so they prove that they're different. Which takes away from actually enjoying that moment.

 

[mbewane]

You're 36

Yep

 

[Serious]

This is true.

nikkas at 22 thinking they're supposed to be traveling to exotic destinations and shyt and in having a vacay every other month!

That's not the real world.

Social media is warping reality for a lot of people.

I was
but my situation ain't ordinary.

I know the coli is full of 6 certs 6 figures 6 acres 6 pawgs at 20 years old
But in my mid - late 20's i feel like i wasted a lot of my time doing nothing but bullshyt, and now it's hard to go back and focus on real shyt. Sometimes i just want to give up and stop existing, but i know i can't give up.

Naw, I'm only 22 so I plan to go back to school once I get my next job. If I was 30 and not involved with politics or doing anything productive, then yeah I'd feel like an underachiever :sadpaul:

 

[Serious]

Achievement is based off of surroundings/perception. with that being said...yes and now. Idk im just a stuck nikka. im not really achiving anything in life as of now but im not fukking up at the same time. if anything im wasting time because i still havent figured out what i want to do in life/ want out of life.

How old are you? Any debt? Kids? Education? Trades? Criminal Record?


Baring a few things like debt, criminal record and kids; you still the ability to be or do Anything, especially if you're young and motivated. fukk what anyone else says, just dabble in different jobs and research careers. See how businesses operate at every level. From what they do, to how they staff employees.

the sharing generation

they share too damn much

 

[Serious]

A form of laziness mostly just "going with the flow" of things, instead of myself being proactive to make things happen in the areas I'm interested in. That led me to not really pursue stuff I like, trying to right the ship now with my writing though.

Also the social aspect of it, I kind of tend to avoid social happenings and keep to myself, but that's not really good because you can meet people and learn suff that way

That's not necessarily a bad thing, keeping to yourself, office politics is a bytch. Everyday people get too Cozy and run their mouth too much, putting them in a bad situation down the line. If you have a knack for avoidinh much of the unnecessary drama then you'll always be employed.

 

[Serious]

I don't know whats worse feeling like an underachiever or knowing you are underachieving and doing nothing to correct that

I'm bout to hit 29 this year and its like what have I been doing my whole life

Still young breh: any kids, debt, or criminal record?If not you still have room to find your niche.

 

[Serious]

Most of the times, depends on the crowd...but most stuff happens through networking and socializing, and "selling yourself" so def suffered from that

But are you someone people can trust? As long as you not a backstabber or sloppy with how you handle your engagements you'll be fine. If you're not a salesman, then you're not salesmen, theres no amount reading of books or learning that will turn you into one, if you don't have the knack for it. Learning how to Sale, is a hustle within itself

 

[Serious]

Not at all.

but aren't you a dead fish?

Oh for sure, I know it can be a quality too but I think it's more so a quality when you have well-established know-how and people recognize your skills, so indeed you don't have to "sell yourself". But that's not really my case, I don't have clear competences and I've mostly worked with people who (understandably) didn't have time to see what I could really bring to the table. Other people in the same situation sell themselves/socialize/network, and end up on projects for which they don't necessarily have the know-how but they learn on the job. Me I don't get to that point.

But yeah I'm someone that can be trusted and don't do office politics, I mean even if I wanted to I wouldn't know how to.
