So im a 27 yr old guy and lately i have been doing some self reflection to understand who i am and the issues that cause me to have so much disappointment and doubt in myself. I didn't have the best up bringing but deffinately not the worst. Love and communication were absent in my family house hold. I knew my mother and father loved me in the only way they understood being from broken home with no or limited examples of love also. Im constantly disappointing myself between my impulsive actions and lack of motivation or tools to confront my issues that have me feeling lost or trapped. I'm not blaming anyone for my issues or past actions.. I hate i didn't have a better chance but i see people all the time with similar or worse situations and watch them succeed in life in ways i envy. I just feel weak/lost/incapable because i haven't figured it out quite like the others. All i have done is survive while others became fighters and grew in life. I know i should probably seek professional help but i more in less wanted to hear others experience and the tools they've developed to become a strong adult with the tools to succeed and truly tackle the problems and and actually move forward.
