Right now, I feel like dirt. Over the past week, i have been angry at my father and i dont really know how to let go of it. its been making me feel crappy. im feeling crappy right now. the anger comes from several "lectures" that I've been hearing. theres some other baggage thats making me feel crappy. deep down, I am insecure about myself.

Whenever I hear about someone else's accomplishments, i tend to get jealous. i dont really want to feel this way but it just "occurs". since i am insecure, i tend to find faults within others.

i have a slight autistic problem, as well. this has made me feel alienated.

i have some insecurity problems. this makes me dislike myself. im having a hard time feeling okay about myself right now. i may be exaggerating.

most of this is all over the place. but this is the best way that i could get it out.

How do i cope with these problems? Any advice?

Sorry to hear that you are struggling.

I am not sure how old you are, but if you are in school you could always talk to a school counselor. If you are older, have you thought about seeking therapy? It can be beneficial to have a professional to work through these struggles with.

Also please continue to post here on PC as needed. This is a very supportive community with many people who can relate to your issues. I too get jealous sometimes when hearing about someone else's accomplishments. What has helped me is to remind myself that I am different, and although I may accomplish things slower than the "normal" population, I will get there in time.

Thanks for the support. Right now, I can't do anything until I get a summer job. I've been applying for several summer jobs and haven't received any offers. So I'm stuck at home with nothing to do for the current moment. My summer vacation started a few weeks ago.

I am glad to have read what you wrote. I'm glad you could relate to me.

Hi Ljj, I was wondering how old you are. Are you a teen? or young adult? I just guess that because your dad lectures you. I'm sorry that you are going through this, that your dad lectures you and that you feel insecure about some other baggage too. That does not sound like fun It sounds like maybe you feel powerless? Does that ring any bells? Or am i totally off? I'm sure it is frustrating.

I think it's a natural thing sometimes, to get jealous of other peoples accomplishments. I have felt this way before, especially when I am feeling sorry for myself or wishing I had what they accomplished!

I'm sorry you feel alienated and insecure. You asked how to cope with these problems and for advice. I can only give you my advice, and it will not look exactly the same as someone else's, but here's what I'd say: Everyone feels insecure from time to time, some though, more than others, and I don't think it's there result of just one thing, but a mixture of the way society is, biology, environment, upbringing. I'm not sure what it is you're feeling insecure about, but here are some things I've done to make myself feel less insecure about certain things: 1.) being around people who accept me as I am, 2.) therapy with a good therapist, 3.) journaling and being kind to myself. Writing things I like about myself, writing things I'm grateful for 4.) Sometimes I google questions. I'll google, for instance, "how to stop being / feeling alienated." It comes up with some helpful things. 5.) Doing things I enjoy and am good at, 6.) making goals for myself and taking steps to achieve them. It can be anything you want to accomplish.

That's all I've got right now.
Best of luck to you. I hope you feel better soon.
