The negative thread

Yeah, I'm absolutely not cut out for marriage - at least, not yet.

I don't think I am either. I'm certainly not gonna force the issue.

That's showing maturity in you that others could learn from.

Why does other people's good news make me feel depressed ? I know it reminds me what a failure I am and that my life is completely futile.

Why does other people's good news make me feel depressed ? I know it reminds me what a failure I am and that my life is completely futile.

You know, I get this, too, and then I feel bad that others' good news has made me feel bad. I feel like I'm selfish, which is probably true.

I guess the best way to combat this is not to dwell too much on the good news. Just congratulate them and move on, knowing that your life is still worthy despite not having your own good news to share.

You're not a failure.
