I am a failure. I had a childhood where I was pretty much ignored and lived on the sidelines of my family. I didn't feel important and hence I have very low self esteem. My dad was very hot tempered and would scream and yell over the smallest of things. I lived in fear of doing or saying anything wrong. Apart from this things were ok.
Fast forward to adult life and I have basically done nothing with my life. I have ended up with low self esteem and social anxiety (most likely as a result of my childhood) which has effected every area of my life. I can't move forward ever as this always holds me back.
I don't have a career and have only been good enough for minimum wage admin jobs. The sad thing was that I was a bright kid at school ( As and Bs) and I even went onto uni to study a course that would have led me to qualify as a healthcare professional. I was petrified with fear about doing the training year and felt I would never be able to do the job. I struggled to secure a placement too. I gave up and did admin jobs instead. It was a relief but people laughed at me for giving up.
I'm not good at anything. I.have no skill that I excel at. Nothing. I've not achieved anything. Ive not done anything with my life.
AIBU to think that I am one huge failure?
