There is absolutely nothing in the world that makes me want to hang myself quite like this, OP.

Whenever I see teenagers or people in their young 20s being world-renowned actors/artists/musicians/athletes, I just want to neck myself on the spot.

And then I remember there are high school students that have infinitely more rich and varied sex lives now than I will ever have in my entire life on this planet, and then I REALLY want to die.

That's OK. Comparing yourself to other people is a great way to become unhappy.

Read up on survivorship bias, OP. What you are seeing is the result of much filtration. You don't get to see all the others whose equal hard work was met with very inferior reward. Even if you had the passion and ability, because of the nature of the system itself you would still probably not come close to beating them, due to chance. Just like how you missed out on being born to a rich family (probably).

I hate this feel I always knew it would come too. I remember seeing athletes getting closer to my age every year in high school and thinking to myself "I'm sure gonna feel like a loser when I'm older than the new star athlete in the pros".

99% of them also had support networks and rich parents. Don't feel bad if people Living in easy mode have better lives.

Lol.

This is what retarded capitalist dogma does to you. It makes you think you ever had a shot at competing with people who started out lightyears ahead of you.

You never did. Just look at your household and your parents and then look at their household and their parents.

And that's if we are to pretend that they aren't smarter, which, frankly they probably are.

Giving up on these sillly ambitions is the first thing I did. Statistically, it's even harder to be "someone" than it is to have a gf...

I know I have much potential, but I am too afraid to do anything. I don't want to hurt other people in any way, so that also limits me.
