Why do you even care about others' perception of your successes and failures in life? The fault of every single event is shared among the elements that were actively involved in the event in question. Pinpointing the true cause behind many of life's happenings is not only impossible in practice but probably also theoretically due to the chaotic nature of the Universe. For that reason I ask that you fucking chill my nigga.

nobody really says the second...

people look up to successful/rich people, even if those people didn't do anything to deserve it

Stop redirecting blame to yourself. If you are able to calm down and think about what lead up to what happened, you should be able to decide how much was and wasn't in your control.

Based on that, you can deduce what should be under your list of worries.

As for good things, well, think of it the same way; understand that lots of things that are good are thanks to others and their labor. It has been like this since the beginning of humankind. Think nothing of it, but give your thanks where necessary/appropriate whenever possible so then you won't be seen as ungrateful. It means a lot to people when you show you thanks.

Also, don't listen to other people because they more often than not speak before thinking about what comes out of their mouths.

Lots of people don't show gratitude when it's due, so you needn't worry about it so much unless you seek validation, which would then hinder your future endeavors because you'll be tricked to think, "What's the point? Why do this when no one is thankful?" In my opinion, you should just do the things you like, and go on in life. When you do do things that are to your thanks, those who matter will go out of their way to show appreciation, and in that time you will realize that it was worthwhile. That's of course depending on what you find pleasurable, but if you're going to rise up in the societal tree, being a sort of independent figure of your own that people look up to (selflessness is a good trait for starters) will attract that sort of gratitude you're seeking. Know that your deed doesn't need to have a large impact: in fact, the small things you do will echo mountains worth of words compared to the occasional large contribution in your community, and people will praise you for it. Personal connections will be made, and people will want to be your friend.

For now take it easy and focus on yourself and/or whatever you need to in order to get your shit together mentally.

Wanna know how I know you're a kissless virgin who's never held a job?

You focus too much on others. Sorry to disappoint, but I couldn't care less about how other people see me, and I'm not the NEET wizard you predicted me to be. Again, you need to chill.

Thank you for the stellar advice, kissless virgin NEET who has literally never held a job in his entire 17 year long life.
