I have wasted my life.

No, really. I spent my first two years of university pretty much always in bed. I don't like meeting new people because I'm shy, so I keep to myself. I'm always lonely. I have achieved very little. I've never done anything spontaneous. I don't take risks. I'm going to look back on my life when I'm old and wonder how I could have wasted so much time. Why am I even HERE? Someone else should have gotten my life, someone who would take advantage of everything I have. Clearly, whoever organizes these things made a huge mistake.

I am not sure I have the words to comfort you but all I can say is that at my ripe old age, I realise now that my life can only be measured by what I brought to other people, how I affected their lives in a positive way and from what I see around here, you sure do your best to help others, I dont call that a wasted life. At your age, how many people care enough to give back???? Give yourself a chance

your not in your old age yet.

your life isnt wasted intill it's over. if you want to do that taking risks thing, there is always tomorrow.

the end of college isnt the end of your chances to have fun.

I posted in reply to another similar message where you too offered your own feeling about a "wasted" life. I'm about to nod off, but I wanted to let you know that I know more or less how you feel (presumptuous of one to say "exactly," isn't it?), and that I bet that objectively, you've achieved quite a bit. For instance, I think you write very eloquently on your blog. That's something big.

I know though that no amount of reassurance to the contrary makes the feeling go away. It is a horrible way to feel. You are not alone, though, and for what it's worth I'm standing there with you. If I weren't so tired I could expound, but this will have to do for now.

Good luck.
