Question by mojo2509: i am tired of my life..alcohol is my only relief?
I am 21. College student. No friends. No girlfriend. Only people who care about me are my family(but they are far away from me). Spend all friday/saturday night home drinking beer alone. I am young and alone. I waste my life. Reason..Low self-esteem..Can’t stand up for myself..Fearful of everything..always nervous (especially in front of attractive girl). I wanna change myself. Every morning I tell myself so. I wanna change. I want to be fun to be around..I want to enjoy life..uh..for the rest of the day I feel awkward in front of my fellow students. I can’t make friends with an attitude I have right now. Moreover, English is my second language. I feel people are laughing in their minds when I make grammar mistakes. I feel terrible about myself. I try to convince myself that Iam a good guy. Everything is fine with me. But I can’t get rid of the feeling that people see me as a looser. I always worry what others think about me. I am a total wussy.
I would appreciate any inspirational advices (i’m in need of some)..Maybe I need to see a professional. Sad that a young guy in his 21 needs mental treatment((
I have no choice but to go see school counselor..i just want be myself..but I hate this freakin inner voice telling me “you are loser, you don’t worth anything” “what? you wanna go talk with that girl..screw that..you gonna look awkward.” tired of it.

“Sad that a young guy in his 21 needs mental treatment”

You are NOT alone! Alot more people suffer from what you are describing!
Dont be so hard on yourself!
You sound like you are depressed, and I promise you that sitting at home alone drinking IS making you feel alot WORSE! (alcohol is a depressant and WILL make it worse!)

PLEASE call and make an appointment to talk to someone.
I think its wonderful that you are a 21 year old guy that is mature enough and stable enough to understand that you may need help.
MANY guys your age would not be MAN enough to see that there is something wrong.
Get yourself taken care of. You sound like you know there is a problem
the ‘sad’ thing would be if you refuse to do anything about it!

ADDED:
Those voices you hear….thats just ‘you’ keeping you down.
You are going to HAVE to learn to ignore those voices.
Its like when you get a song stuck in your head that drives you nuts! lol

You can get rid of it if you try hard enough. Its just annoying as heck sometimes! I am a 37 yr old woman w/ 2 teenage boys. Believe me….the longer you live the more you learn about life and you CAN teach yourself to STOP putting yourself down. Some people just have to struggle at it longer!
I AM one of those ppl! I can relate to what your saying, you will get it! We ALL deal with issues of some kind. No biggy as long as you take charge and control of the situation!
