Insecurities

[The Oi]

What are yours?

I find it difficult to ever feel like I’ve ever done “enough” for myself. Less concerned with what other people think, than what I think of myself.

Any time I come up with some kind of number, whether income-wise or an athletic achievement...I immediately convince myself it wasn’t sufficient or I could have done better at it if I’d have done something differently.

This has driven me to be better at things and to achieve some cool stuff, but it makes it difficult to ever be satisfied.

I also have a poor sense of direction, am weak technologically and have weak organizational skills. All of these things frustrate me endlessly and I get angry quickly once I find myself in situations having to rely on these skills.

Weird flex but ok

My skin, that I don't have as prestigious a job as I should, my face, my dog dying.

You’ve brought up the job. Money is always one for me. I’ve never been able to convince myself any amount is enough.

Dog story was brutal. That would stick.

I’m more insecure than you bitch

Agree with David about the skin thing. If I carb it up too much I get dermatitis around the margins of my nose. Really have to be careful with what I eat.

Also, I'm not the most outgoing person and I have had to work extremely hard to be somewhat social when I'm in and around groups of people. I do much better in smaller groups of less than 4 or 5 people.

And the apartment fire incident too

My wife is like this and it’s appearing that my son may be as well.

Were you like this as a kid? Good for you for pushing yourself out of it.

One of my strengths is social interactions and truth be told, that’s the size of group I prefer anyways. Anything larger and I get drained.

I was EXTREMELY shy as a young kid. Like I said, I've worked very hard to push myself and become somewhat social. I still don't do too well in large groups, but in smaller groups I'm fine.

That buying a house ($135k nothing special) and wasting the little money I had on home repairs and going further into debt made it extremely financially difficult for me to afford children.

That my family views me as a failure because I'm choosing to pay off my student debt vs having kids. That my relationships all end prematurely because I'm choosing to pay off my student debt vs having kids.

It's amazing how two decisions can fuck up your life. Going to grad school and buying a starter home. And somehow everyone tells me I should feel lucky because I'm not six figures in student debt.

What do you guys do when you start really feeling your insecurities? I get angry.

I drank in college but don’t anymore. No drugs.

I have an explosive temper. Throw stuff, hit walls, things like that. Never people, just things.

Yeah. I drink.

I wish I could smoke as it helps curb anxiety. But it's illegal.
