were you ever nicer before than you are these days?

Question

i feel like in high school i used to be this fun, entertaining person... and now in college i am like miserable, bitchy, introverted, angry person. i have a few days where i am my old self - but most of the time im just a pain . its depressing to see me act this way. people used to like me - now i just dont have the energy to be likeable. im in survival mode and feel like i hate everyone.

Lisa i am sorry about your son :( thank you for your post.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I've been there myself, and still have days like this. Let me guess..you're tough on yourself. You're the type of person who wants to be good at something, and well, like most people are only moderately gifted. So you have to work a little harder at things while it seems like others just breeze by effortlessly. You know, take comfort in this: nothing in life worth anything, ever comes free. Find pride in your accomplishments, however big or small, and pretty soon the confidence you've been lacking will return, and your previous more relaxed self will make a reappearance. It won't be easy peasy like that every day, but having a great attitude about things does make it easier. Peace.

Well your not the only one. That happend to me after my son died, and it sucks because I hate being like this but can't fix it. It's weird. But I do know what ya mean.
