Do you get angry when you realise you miss out on stuff. Like you have not many (no) friends, you have no relationship, you are jealous of people who have stuff you don't have, you don't feel happy at school, you have no job, you are unemployed, you are still living at your parents and you feel they do not understand, you never get invited to parties, you hate spending time at the computer so much??

That's how I feel. And I get angry sometimes. How should I not be angry about it? And How to believe I can change it? It's so hard when life is sooo dull.

Have you been reading the book? I'm part way through it.

Still a lot of anger about my situation and that others have caused all my misery. They deserve revenge. Not nice to turn negativity into magic pleasure.

I want to rebel.

Mostly at myself, but it's motivation to start looking for more ways to build skills, start studying harder, start fighting paranoia in new ways, and stop procrastinating because I want to get out of this life.

I used to feel miserable that I don't have most of these things, but now I pretty much accept my lot in life.

How does self acceptance work?

I found happiness being by myself. I actually like doing things on the computer. Living with my parents isn't so bad either, compared to all the previous sh** that I went through. And why would I want to get invited to parties anyway? I get super nervous and awkward around lots of people. I have a few close friends, and that's better than having lots of shallow friends.

I think the key to self-acceptance is 1) knowing yourself, 2) knowing what makes you happy, and 3) knowing that happiness does not depend on materialistic desires. I realized that I am an introvert and being alone makes me happier than attending all the parties and social events around the world.

Definitely, all the time. More so when I want to be somewhere else in every aspect of my life yet my SA prevents me. But it is a new year and I'm hoping to take small steps to change things.

I guess you have to take small steps to feel better about yourself. A friend said to me that no-one can make you confident, you have to do it yourself. A kind poster on this forum gave me some tips on how to changing things, e.g. working out, visiting a gym etc as a first step.

Adding to what jaim38 wrote...
2) knowing what makes you happy: Finding your PASSION/s .. and then aranging your life so that you can indulge in them for as much of the time as possible. This means (if sufficiently absorbed in your passion) your mind will then be focussed on positives, which greatly helps to prevent negatives from taking hold of you, or getting you down (providing you can quickly return to your passion)

3) knowing that happiness does not depend on materialistic desires: Realizing that peace & hapiness both start and end in the mind.
