rt though anyone have any advice? i been feeling mad mediocre/worthless lately

Put things in perspective. If you have a goal that you want to work toward actually take the steps to achieve it.

Remember some people's aspirations are different. Some people out in rural Mongolia will become nothing more than goat herders or nomadic farmers. In these cultures, that is a cherished and honored tradition. Our culture unfortunately makes it out that if you're not popular and rich, you're an utter failure. Don't let the pressures of society determine your self worth or lack thereof.

If you've ever seen "The Wire" there's a great quote in it. "Life is the things we do while we wait for moments that never come."

It means don't be so cerebral. Don't be so caught up in your head about everything. Do whatever you love to do day in and day out. If your daily routine is playing WoW all day or going out for a run and studying--whatever it is, doesn't matter-- do it but don't forget to work on your goals if you have any. We as people don't have total control of our fate/future so it's important to remember that often times what ends up happening isn't how we foresaw it.

I would also say if you're feeling worthless you have to ask yourself: why do I feel worthless? Is it because society tells me I am worthless? Is it myself telling myself I am worthless? It's kind of paradoxical but it's almost a case of narcissism. We deem ourselves so important that we are certainly worthless if we don't perform to the highest of standards all the time. You're a human being, man. You're not perfect and you never will be. Understand your flaws and find a way to work around them if possible. However, remember there is legitimate difference between clinical depression and extraneous societal/culturally induced depression. One requires re-balancing of certain chemicals and the other requires elucidation through introspective thought.

I felt like writing all this shit because I too dealt with depression for a while recently. My dad died like a month ago and I didn't know how to deal with it at first. It's important that you never make excuses no matter the hardship you face. I know there's people out there who have it way worse--disfigured, loss of limbs, entire family dead, orphaned etc.--so I can't be so narcissistic and say "Woe is me" and use my dad's death as excuse for why I can settle for mediocrity. Whatever your reason is, neither should you.

Besides that I suggest becoming more proactive. Discover your gift work on it etc. If you like music, play music in your free time. If you like writing, write in your free time. I like to write so for me, it's cathartic to be able to express what's on my mind through writing. Maybe you have a give for being compassionate and understanding people's pains and hardships. Perhaps try volunteering and help out young kids who need someone to look up to.

But ultimately, never compare yourself to other people. Stop going on Facebook and surrounding yourself with negative, ignorant, and narcissistic people. Focus only on yourself, your friends (if you have any) your family (if you have any) and remember to never make any excuses.

Omar fucks around on here so much that its kinda weird when he drops knowledge lol. But that was some of the realest shit I have read on here dude. Sorry to hear about your pops but it sounds like you got your shit together and you are handling it well.
What do you write? Like poetry or stories or what? I'd love to read some of it bruh. I enjoy reading written works by my peers.

BuddyOmar the next Tony Robbins.

Seriously, think about being a life coach.

If not, consider publishing some material, I know a few script writers who love what they do.
