My whole life I have lacked self confidence. It has always been hard to accept compliments, whether it is for a job well done to you played a good football game when I played.
I know I was adopted from an early age, and I dont know if that is the key right there to where this all began? Oh no someone didnt want me. History has not been good to me either of having over 200 jobs in my life, I have been fired laid off and just plain and simple let go. Two failed marriages not to mention two kids I have not seen in 16 years.
Yes I have a wealth of experience but so many failures how do I get positive. Not to mention my self esteem is not very good either. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR VIEWS AND WAYS TO HELP

Hi there, Chris. That sounds pretty unpleasant. Are you not able to get in-touch with your kids? With all the jobs from which you've been fired, have you looked for a pattern? Do you think you're self-destructive? It would probably be worth seeing a professional, as you must have amounted a lot of issues, from all that.

I wish I had some words of wisdom, but at 27 years--old as I feel--those are just some this that I've little experience with, and none of which is personal experience. The only thing that comes to mind is sense of purpose, ... you probably don't feel any of that what-so-ever, but the way I see it, your two kids could be your purpose. You could get help and try to iron out the kinks. I don't know the situation with your kids, of course, but I'm sure the latter is always an optional.
