I got taught that you can do anything if you work hard enough, and took it literally. I didn’t realize at all what competitive hellscape we lived in.

I also had that same basic experience. For a while, I did feel like I had grown into myself and would be okay.

I’m okay, just not feeling like the left side of the meme anymore at all. It could be much worse though.
Hopefully you can get back there.
Thank you. I’m working on it.
