For People Feeling Behind In Life

I am 49 and I only started living life in the last 18 months.

I think men, including myself, do or have done negative behaviors because I have been living from being scared to do what I love in life. Things were stopping me from doing what I love - fear of what people think, people will not watch my video, read my articles or turn up to things I put out there on socials. After I started nobody really cared and after sometime you find like minded men that want to hang out with you and enjoy your stuff.

you live a life of inspiration when you follow what you love doing.

Sometimes I don’t know what to think about life at all everything happened really quickly

I don’t mind feeling dead inside

Man i really needed to watch this video. Thank you for making this.

I needed this video. To feel and think all of these things and have them expressed out loud in this video is so liberating and powerful. This really shifts the way of thinking, and at least for myself is helping me in so many ways. Thank you so much.

Background music?

You don't know what being behind in life really is like. . When the best you can do is some shitty factory job or construction job. And you have hardly any skill to find a decent place...

Really had this lately. I'm 24. Right after i graduated(ish) i started my own company. Now 1.5 years later after living off my savings and an inbetween job it didn't go how I planned it to and i also realized I really dont want to work in the traditional finance fields (accounting, etc) so going back to uni to get a degree in compsci because I realized that I really like it but I'm going to be 27 when im done and all my friends are going to have apartments, houses etc. I know its not bad but something about the whole thing really has eaten away at me.

The worst part is, I'm actually a decent smart person. I know I can do more, and achieve more on the side, and I have everything already planned. However, I'm just so stuck on step one because of these managers getting in my way, and preventing me to to even start. Everyone else has already moved forward and I can't even begin becuase these stupid managers are acting worse than owners, they are doing more than their job requires them to do, seriously. Time is going by, I'm still in the same place, so many "we're not looking for anyone atm sorry" types of responses. I guess I can't be ungrateful, there's people in worse situations than me, but it doesn't mean I can't get mad.

Great video. We need more videos like these.

I appreciate your perspective. You're right. Who measures you? And that you are behind? . But have you experienced dealing with toxic ex partner who drags you to family court, use court to further abuse you, drain your money in court and being forced to do things you don't want to do and affect your life and your kids' life?

im 28. I work but im not passionate about what I do. my true calling and purpose is somewhere else in life and I hope to find it. I really do, Goodluck on your journey my friend

Im a complete life failure. I achieved completely nothing. Barely got through school. Didnt pass final exams. I dont have a driving license. I have mental illnes , bipolar, which ruined everything to zero. I have no husband, no child. I dont have friends. I rely on mental disability pension, and have part time job in facility for ppl with disabilities, i work alongside ppl with down syndrome, intellectually impaired, etc. Every day and everywhere all around i see ppl succesful, passing by neighbors who have built nice houses and their kids are growing fast. While i live with my parents, and even my parents hate to have to deal with my problems. I land in mental ward often. I embarassed myself so badly during all my psychotic breakdowns , that i avoid going out completely. Im a failure. I hate every day of my life. The only reason that is keeping me from doing suicide is my dog. I cant leave her behind, i have to take care of her while she lives. Im only gonna live as long as my dog lives. I wish i never was born. Im ashamed of myself and to even step foot outside house.

5 years ago this was posted. i have been blind and wasting my life for past 10 years. even the past 5 years, i have no idea why i was doing this. no one, even my mother told me about what would happen if i didn't wake up.

I needed to hear this.

Wow. What worthless shit...

nice video, but money doesn't care.

I get you buddy. We are who we are, nothing more, nothing less.

i just dont know how to be happy and contented with what little that i have. i just cant do more.

I can relate to this ❤

You need Jesus

You have a brain in your head. You have shoes on your feet.

I can remember feeling that way. When I was younger, but to be honest, we came from such nothing that the materialism of this world robbed my parents of their life and I've seen it every day so now in my 40s, I know that, as long as I have love in my life, nothing else matters. I am winning winning every day that I get to fall asleep with her on my chest.


Add on.... The joy that you're looking for does not have to be found.It's all about perspective..... If you can remember what it felt like to get that gas prevaire when you thought u were drowning... The thankfulness that you felt when you woke up on christmas morning.... If you can allow yourself to feel that w/ next breath...... u got it..... and can't lose it..... now.... just try to hold on to it

Comparison is the killer of all joy

Cut the baby gaga-gugu. You should have the strength of character to be proud of yourself just because you decided to. Full stop. This is at the core, and the next thing is being proud of your deeds and of aligning your behavior with the universal moral principles every society understands - the golden rule etc. The world, the media and advertising have been systematically trying to replace this self-sufficient core with belief in the supernatural, starting a family, career, success, fame, physical products, ideology, and so on. But, if you retrain yourself to put the core back at its place, you're unotoachable.

I am 16, and I feel behind in life.

I have all these goals, and I feel like I am not progressing.
When I look at other teens, they seem to have it figured out.
They have jobs, and they've learned how to drive. They've figured out how to study. They've figured out what they want to do after high school. They have the mindset and confidence.
During this summer, I've mainly worked on my nutrition and fitness. I am proud of myself, but in some areas, I feel like I let myself down...

thank you, you helped me

I’m writing this at 3am I’m in my second year of architecture school. And it’s only been a couple days into the semester and I already feel exhausted. I’m starting to rethink if I even belong here. Everyone else around me knows exactly what they’re doing and I just feel that I’m not creative enough for this, and that I’m just piggybacking on others. But I don’t have a plan B and actually want to continue with architecture but there’s just so much work. For just one of my classes I got 20+ drawings a model, and a building re design all due by the end of the week. a lot of my friends that I met have already dropped out for this very reason, and the ones I do have left feel distant. Last year I had to sleep in the design studio days upon end and all throughout the weekend, while my friends who are in other majors are going out and having fun. I just don’t know what to do anymore

Zephaniah 2 : 1-3 Gather together, yes, gather yourselves, O nation that feels no shame. 2 Before the decree takes effect, Before the day passes by like chaff, Before the burning anger of Jehovah comes upon you, Before the day of Jehovah’s anger comes upon you, 3 Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger

I found this video because I searched up "I feel behind in life" TLDR: I feel like I wasted my childhood on the internet doing meaningless crap. I'm 19 and in my sophomore year of college, and finding it very difficult in my classes. I was a good student in high school, solid 3.7 GPA, and 30 on the ACT. But college is a different beast. Also, I find it difficult to relate to people. I don't know much about music, pop culture, health, or sports. I feel as if I have no personality. This video gave me hope that all I am doing is measuring myself by someone else's measuring stick. I am doing better than I was 6 months ago, but I am still not where I want to be.

Nearly 30 and I still haven't figured it out yet.

Thank you for posting this friend this helped me a lot with what I'm going through.

I've been feeling behind ever since i was in 3rd grade, idk why it's here and how to get rid of it

Jesus christ is the only way to heaven only savior only healer only answer 💌✝️♾️

This is a feeling I have had since my early 40's all I wanted was to find my tribe of people. I left home when I was 18 went to a foreign country to escape my manipulating parents, I am now in my 60's and still cant find like minded people interested in new acquaintances/friendships, was always surrounded by people when I was younger but as we all split up when older and follow different paths some of those paths lead us to dead ends.

I have accepted I will likely always be alone and would rather that than be where I am not welcome, or understood.

❤

Your content always gets me on the right path!

Thank you for sharing <3

I’m an unemployed 24yo and can’t really find a job that is related to my course. I keep wondering if I should keep searching or maybe I should try something else. Does anyone here have any experience or maybe little tips on what I should do?

Watching this video because I feel like I’m only getting older and I want to better my life and I feel like I can’t get above.

Got very ill in 2018 at age of 41…cancer…great career, money….barely made it, according to my oncologist it was a miracle I was still alive. I am still here, but life never been worse. I work part time, low skilled job, lost will to do anything, trying to pick up myself but can’t really. Life is much worse then it was before my diagnosis, I just kind find my new self and can’t accept it. It’s horrible as this is not me and this has been dragging since I was told I am cancer free in 2019. No plan, no will, ignorance and sadness. This is so so hard.

"that might be an ugly thing to admit"

This is true. However, the very act of acknowledging and confessing of this aspect of your character is beautiful. The simple fact that we can acknowledge ugly parts of ourselves and still accept it being who we are and learning to Love our self despite how ugly our contents many be. It's all required to be YOU.

This is what’s been holding me back for 5 years. I was a perfect student throughout high school but had little motivation or passion. Depression contributed to me dropping out of college my sophomore year and picking up a gambling addiction. Even being slightly down or behind drove me crazy. I gambled to try and catch back up. This has been the last 3 and a half years of my life. I’ve been free for a week and don’t plan on looking back. I’m planning to start school again in January. It’s hard facing the feelings of being behind my friends who are graduating and getting good paying jobs. Meanwhile I’m still living with my mom. I try to ignore these feelings because I know they only serve to continue the cycle. It’s very difficult.

Thank you 🙏🏽✨

wow, a lot of populist unhelpful bullshit.

All pain is an invitation to destroy ego ❤

Nathaniel … SO value your video! I’m at “what/where now? There are always others which is reassuring and motivating. So grateful you posted this.

It's crazy to think that I made this and then a month went by before I finally decided to post it because I wasn't sure anyone would relate. I'm glad I did - thank you for all of your wonderful comments. Let's stop beating ourselves up so much.
