Hey, /adv/, I've posted bits of my story here and there in "Ask the Opposite Gender" threads, one night I ended up taking it to /b/, and I later showed it to a friend. I hope it'll help more here. I'm basically trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Pic unrelated


>Be born 3 months early, on life support because premie technology wasn't too great back then ('97)
>Parents tell me my dad called me his miracle child
>Parents love me a lot, even though mom is weird about it sometimes. Dad hates my step-brother (older by 13 years btw) for good reason
>Anyway, go to a basically white private school up until 8th grade because mom wanted the best for her kids
>Have a 5 years younger sister who later attends the same school
>Do relatively well, have a somewhat solid group of friends
>Others think I'm weird, but everyone seems to like me
>Absolutely shit luck with girls, chalk it up to being ugly
>Last day of 8th grade, ask out one girl I'd had a crush on for about 3 years
>She says yes, I'm ecstatic because things are working out
>Later that day my friend texts me saying he saw a mutual friend and that girl making out somewhere all the kids go after the last day of school (it's like a tradition)
>Fucking crushed, don't mention it to the girl, just attribute it to me being a loser
>High school starts up, going to a dramatically different high school than most of my friends except for one guy I rarely talked to (mom was tired of paying for private school and decided to put me in a charter school where everyone knows everyone, just like my old school)
>Figure I can make new friends and have a clean start and all that bs
>Eventually get a solid group of friends, people are surprised I don't act stereotypically black, but don't care

I forgot to mention it's a long one. If I had remembered to screencap it, I would have. Sorry about that.

Forgot to mention:

>Realize how dangerously close to 20 I am
>Wonder about the future and what's wrong with me
>I seem to be a fuckup no matter what it comes to. If I haven't fucked it up yet, I'll fuck it up in due time
>Decide to come into a feels thread for some reason
>Tell my story
>See someone tell me not to kill myself, see other people talk about things that actually matter
>>Realize how much of a fucking loser I must sound like, typing about problems that are solved within months without paying attention to the actual things wrong with me
>>Think I should kill myself and do everyone a favor
>>Realize it'll be selfish as fuck
>>Can't bring myself to abandon all of my friends, no matter how much I may burden them
>>Can't just leave my dad, who called me his miracle child
>>Can't just leave my sister, who may need me more than ever
>>Can't leave my cat, who probably considers me his best friend
>>Can't leave without telling the rest of my story, because I know there's stuff I haven't told you all
>>I can't leave just yet
Because my story's not over.

That's it, /adv/. Any advice? I'm definitely not an alcoholic. I just want to know what's wrong with me and what I can do to fix it. There's so much I want to change.

>>17851458

Don't compare yourself to other people, what they do and how they do things. Just stick to yourself and do what's right. Jealousy is not a very motivating factor, are you studying for yourself or just to compete with your roommate? When it comes to the girl related stuff, give it time. You're just 19, you can't expect to have an immense success with girls, you're still young and you'll get there, also these are rejections not even in a talking/relationship kind of stages, you can't take them to heart that much. Ultimately, you just lack motivation, once you find it everything will work out, find a hobby or do something new to get yourself started. Suicide isn't really an option as you've listed, so don't even consider it, once you find something you want to do or someone you genuinely want to be with or just find yourself, because you're young and confused, everything will just work out. It really just depends on you. Also, sorry didn't mean to come off as mean, just trying to point things out for you.

I'm studying for my own benefit. The roommate stuff is more of friendly competition.

I think what gets me down the most about girls, besides everyone being ahead of me (even though I shouldn't compare myself to others), is that I never even had a chance to get to the talking stage.

In terms of hobbies, I cooked for the first time in a while and it made me pretty happy. I don't know why, but I really like cooking.

Thanks for your help, anon

Also, I forgot to mention that my eye twitch is back. It may be because of finals week, but it's probably worth noting
