i'm depreessed and sad and i feel like a failure cause i kind of am:
-unemployed searching but not get hired
-i'm not good at speaking since i've been shy since age 5 and never changed.
-dn't have friends,
-have bunch of injuries and can't be normal anymore:
-feel hated by White america or anyone in america.. i'm hispanic
-feel hated by foreigners from asia and now i hate them back.. i studied some asian foreign language and have attempted alot to try to make friends, conversation partners etc and it seems they just love white people or Outgoing cocky people, since i'm a shyguy i feel hated also discriminated

So my question is...now that i feel like a total failure..how in the world can i change that? Is there any mental exercise that would work? i did therapy didn't work, i keep trying to make myself be happy, i am for a while then i go back to feeling like failure and useless

I would like a Christian perspective on this issue, preferably from mature Christians.
I am a college student who was abused by my step dad as a child. Recently he has repented and given his life over completely to God. He is in therapy and has become the kind of person I wish he could have been when I was growing up. My mom has decided to stay with him now. I am wondering what to do now. I dont hate him but I dont want to be around him. I dont want to see my family fall apart because I cant move on, but I dont want to keep being the one who falls through the cracks. I really dont know what to do. To make matters worse my soon to be fiance is sinking into overwhelming depression over this situation and I feel torn by everyones needs and wants. There seems to be no resources for this particular issue and I could use some sound advice. I am in therapy as well so no need to suggest that.

Most of the time, I find my lips and tongue moving as I read a book, I always wondered about this. It feels kind of like the words are being connected to the tongue as I read, without actually saying them out-loud. Maybe there is a reason we do this, without it being a fault.

Your thoughts? Feel free to use your own mind to make up logical theories...you can also share what you've learned from education as well :-)

I think I might be able to get some benefit from seeing a counselor or pyschologist, but at the same time I feel like why do I need somebody else to tell me whats wrong with me, why can't I just see whats wrong and change myself?

But anyways, I have godawful ADD, was molested when I was a kid which has affected my relationships lately, and I'm thinking what's going to a counselor gonna help me with these issues?

A person I consider a friend and share a home with gives me the feeling they lie, especially about money issues. Most of the time I can shrug it off but last week I saw what looked like a $1000 dollar bill visible in a backpack and when I mentioned they shouldn't be so careless they said it was fake. However, with no action towards the backpack a few minutes later I could see it was gone.

Chemicals in the brain, Genetic selection for making the best baby's , or just that mental feeling you get from some one which results in you not being able to think about any thing else !

Human being always think that he is the height of creation....most of the time self appraisal...telling he is so so...boosting among themselves.....but when he turn round and see how insignificant he is before other creation....for example a cat knows how to keep its place neat....even to clear its bowl it goes out side and find a soil and dig a small pit and then closing it after finish of its business....I think all creation are height of uniqness of its own species.....therefore man can stop telling he is the height of creation.. I am sure this way of thinking has more rational behind it.

thinkg of enroling in either the graduate cert in expressive therapies wit adolescents and children OR specialist diploma in counselling psychology. I felt that it wld be good for me to be equipd with counselling skills as i am a nurse. (People i meet whom i'v not known tend to tell me their problems and ask my 2cents) But a friend i spoke to said i would not be practising it so why ...
The other thing is i dont fancy children, but am alright with adolescents.
Thank you. .. &Thank you to the drummer boy,..

I got the attitude now that just says I don't care about very much stuff anymore. I just want an easy job. I'm not worried about career advancement. I don't care if I have trophy wife. I already got a baby and a wife, so I don't care much about that. All I'm really set on doing is doing a pretty easy job and just supporting the wife and kid. Drive to succeed? Motivation to get ahead? Career advancement to make more money? Look, I just hope my wife and kid get well fed and the kid gets well educated and I don't have to work too hard to do it.

Is it me who is suffering from lack of motivation or is success really overrated?

I meet people all the time who don't know anything about Darfur, Isreali/Palistine conflict, Jack abramov, Loss of liberties in Russia, Muslim rebels in Somilia. Hezbolla. They think East Indians are arabs, They think china and asia are two words with the same meaning,

I've also met alot of people who are ignorant about history. They don't know who was on what side in world war 2. They don't know about the holocaust, McCarthyism, The cuban missile crisis, Even the great deppresion.

I doubt most christians here know about constantines relationship to the bible they read.

A lot of people here also think Evolution is some kind of hoax. As well as the big bang. Even global warming is denied by some people here.

I am 33, about a size 12 (5'3") and 150 pounds. I used to be much thinner and felt prettier (however, I have noticed guys looking my way from time to time, so I must not be too hideous to look at). My boyfriend (35 yo) constantly looks at young skinny, blonde, big boobed, small butt chicks. Now, I know guys "look" at other women, but it seems that if a girl who may be similar to my size and shape walks by he doesn't give her a second glance, but if one of these skinny "hoochie mamas" walks by he goes out of his way to stare. He also views these kinds of images on MY computer. I've talked with him about how this bothers me and how insecure I am, but it seems that no matter how many "I'm sorry's" comes out of his mouth, he keeps doing it. Now, I'm not saying I'm ready to throw in the towel here, but this is killing me. My question is this: Am I being overbearing and/or irrational about my insecurities, or is he being a jerk. Guys, I would like to hear your honest responses too please. P
