what makes you assume that I played life incorrectly.
>people get uncomfortable and confront me about my attitude
Any particular instances? It can be painful, but I find reflecting on how other people react to the way I act to be pretty helpful sometimes. What comes out of your mouth can mean a lot more to other people than what your own sense of self-worth will let you believe, if you're anything like me at least.

Im constantly scared of everything. My mind is on a fucking roller coaster ride through terror town.
Same boat op. I just want to unload this burden. I can't keep smiling.

when I was younger I would literally get beaten by my father for not having a positive attitude. people have told me they don't like hanging around me because im such a downer. like I said I stopped trying to act positive at some point because when I did people just took advantage of me.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but if you're alone and nobody wants to be around you there's usually a good reason why.

You're a good person, anon. People are so fucking selfish, I don't understand how some people can be that way without feeling any kind of guilt. I get a guilt complex over everything I've ever done wrong. I don't get it.

No. There of course is always a reason why but in this case it's almost never a good reason and it's usually because of either looks, or the fact that two people may not have the same interests. both of those things shouldn't have that much of an impact on building a relationship but it does because that's just how people are. sure, some people are just fucking terrible and nobody would want to be around them but I can assure you I am not one of those people

good on you anon, keep on smiling :)
