Discussion Wasted Potential

[loser4ever4life]

I feel as though I could've done so much, helped so many people, researched and perhaps discovered something new in my field, I feel that I've wasted what chances were given to me. With the reality of what I'm about to do growing on me, I feel as though I have to say sorry to everyone that I wasn't strong enough to carry on.

Anyone relate?

In a way, Yes. I'm basically old now, too late to change anything even if I wanted to. So I'm not throwing away potential, I was just stupid and couldn't figure out what to do with it and now one way or another am close to death. I've been a stupid waste of time. But for you, I would say, you don't owe anyone an apology. It's nice of you to feel that way though.

I'm nothing special. I never claimed to be. But I do believe that I'm an intelligent person who could improve the world in my own small little way if I decided to stick around. But I feel so much pain these days and I'm so disgusted by the world these days that I feel little interest in helping it, besides my family and friends. For sure, I am wasted potential, that's exactly what I am.

I think that's something special. My humble opinion!

if something is still there, waiting; then it isn't lost forever :)

Mine was stolen from me. So maybe slightly different. But net result is the same.

yes in a bit. It's wild to see headlines of people my age dying and people mourning the loss of someone "so young" .
I don't feel young. I feel like I've lived a thousand years and just wasted them all. I could've done more if I had focused more on studies, maybe even joined the army as an "easy" way out. I wanted to be an engineer first, cars and technology were and still kind of are my passion but too many drugs and useless attempts to die killed off the smart parts of me first. I'm lucky to even be able to focus enough to see and read a single page clearly.
I'll blame it on being born poor and fatherless with a bitch mother who breeds like a dog but really I'm just a loser who wasted his time being angry and depressed instead of doing anything that really mattered.
I'm mostly sorry to my sweetheart who thought I could be more— yet here I am giving up again browsing a suicide forum . I hate to think that I'm giving up on her.

I gave my all to follow my potential (creative career.) It was my coping mechanism. I think I had the potential to be happier though and more open/ loving/ kinder. So, weirdly, the thing that did always 'save' me and that I always thought would be enough has been faultering for a few years now.
