Sounds like you might benefit from trying new things. Make it a scheduled thing: once a week, month, or whatever works for you, do a different new activity (like making a content calendar — but way better — bc it’s for your life). Pottery, a 5k, whatever feels new and challenging. If you’re not usually a thrill seeker, maybe switch it up and pick something a little more edgy — something that scares the bejeesus out of you (but also ignites a spark).

Actually, this is the BEST time to find a new passion. Bc you’re not frantic or trying to fill a hole; you’re simply asking more of yourself/life. Psychologically, a super healthy place to be coming from☺️

Does the goal have to be about attaining a physical thing? How about making an impact in your community? Learning an instrument? Trying your hand at any artistic pursuit? Solving a large issue that plagues your community, your city …. The world. Something you are passionate or can become passionate about. There’s a lot of suffering in the world that you could work toward alleviating.

My teacher thought I had it was a kid, I was tested for it as a kid but nothing came of it. I was tested for it again as an adult and I think the psych thought I had it, but don’t remember what the conclusion was (he talked a lot). I have every symptom though at work, pretty much every day.

I think reading up about self sabotage can help you. It generally happens for one of several reasons including:

*success is scary because if you get good, you may have to work harder

*your self image is poor and succeeding at stuff would conflict with that which would feel uncomfortable

These are just two, but I think they are more likely than some others based on what you've written.

Good luck, and remember: the only time it's too late to take action is when you're dead.

Make one of these with empowering quotes for little boys.

Seems like the media is awash with empowering females while disparaging males. Sucks that people seem to think that in order to make things equal, you have to pull others down to lift yourself up. Sounds like what happens when people are drowning. I wish the world would lift everyone up, that way everyone can be awesome, together.

Oh I'm flattered that you would ask but I don't have a page, I just recently got an iPad and started doodling, I'm really new to it, but I let my lack of skill deter me from trying, and I know I need to just keep drawing poorly so I can eventually get better. This op is what I needed to hear I think
