Find help: I am alone. - Help.com

Editors:

I am alone.

I have let go of almost all my values, my hopes, my dreams, myself. The world is moving on around me, yet I stand still. I want only something to renew my sense of meaningfulness, something to pull me out of this hole i have dug myself into. If i could only find that something. I thought I found it this summer. I thought I found my true dream or calling. I wanted it so bad, but every day it becomes farther and farther out of my reach. I have learned my limitations, my biggest mistake yet, because now I feel as if that dream is unreachable and I will never succeed. I want to succeed. I want to want to succeed. Where is my motivation? Help.
I googled help today…because I realized I had nowhere else to turn. And then I found this website, and now you are reading my little, unimportant blog about nothing, wondering why on Earth you chose this one to begin with. Because it means nothing. It only means something if you are lost. Because I am lost, too. And I don’t maybe we can be lost together, though I don’t know you and you don’t know me. And sometimes if you are lost, to be lost together is far better than to be lost alone. Unless you want to be lost. In that case, you have a lot of issues that I can’t help you with, but don’t worry I won’t judge. Because today I needed help, and I am not alone in that.

The thing about dreams and things you want that may seem out of reach is they test your will, to test really how important it is to you. Some people will try and try and its unbearably difficult so they give up. Then there are those who despite all the wounds and struggle they don’t stop, and when they do reach those dreams the feeling is of the ultimate success. Question is? are you going to be the one who gives up or the one who is an unstoppable force. Take some time for yourself and collect your thoughts. Find out what is it you really want and make a tactical plan for it.

Don’t make so much about doing something important. The very best contribution you can make in this world is to accept yourself for who you are, and do some small thing every day to help yourself and others. You will be making a meaningful contribution to the world every day. That is far more important, far more satisfying than doing something “big and important”.

The problem with big dreams is if you don’t reach them, you feel like a failure. But you’re setting the bar too high. Break things down into baby steps. Enjoy the journey.

hmm i assume avoidient personality disorder then, the reason for shyness is being afraid of how the world will treat if you did open up
its okay to be shy it takes time to be more “out there” but it’s only if you want too
