    No one here can magically solve your social difficulties.

    No one here can magic up some jobs for you in your "small town".

    No one here can get a car for you, or a girlfriend, or change your weight.

    Does anyone else know what to say?

    Every time i think i am getting better i just look in the mirror and say im stupid, i should be doing better i mean there are things that i have done that i would never have done before but i aways say I need to be doing better to beat my stepbrother for example

    1. Im getting distinctions and Merits on all of my Assignments at college-Well my stepbrother is at uni so again he is better

    2. I volunteer at my local castle, volunteer at a half marathon in my local town but i say to my self my stepsister has a job and did the same thing but with the London marathon

    3. I was proud of myself for actually making the bed on my own the other day but then i give myself a big slap and shout at myself to grow up

    4. I spoke to a girl at college the other day but then again said to myself why should i be proud of that when my stepbrother actually has a girlfriend.

    My GP says i should have more confidence in my ability but it is difficult

    There are always going to be people you perceive to be better than you.

    My brother gets £65,000 a year, and I only get around £25,000.

    My sister is in a relationship, I am not.

    My brother drives, I don't.

    My friend can cook, I can't.

    My other friend can run 96 miles in a day, I cant.

    It's just the way the world spins.

    Not as bizarre as tearing up a signed photograph of Cheryl Cole, and scratching all your DVDs in a fit of anger. And THEN asking the MSE forums if he should spend what money he has in the bank to replace all the DVDs he scratched incase he invites a girl back and she wants to watch a movie! Eh Sam?
    If you want to be rich, live like you're poor; if you want to be poor, live like you're rich.

    Look, that is when i felt worthless and not fit to actually own those things, i felt i actually didn't deserve the nice things i had because of how disgusting i am, i haven't had those thoughts for a while now of feeling worthless, just upset and crying most nights

    Bravepants, if the OP is genuine which is entirely possible, you're really not helping. Report it if you feel it necessary but baiting the OP for a response isn't ok.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Be friends with girls at college, speak to them, arrange to do something with others on your course.

    You need to understand that there's always someone who is better than you or has something you don't.
