I make more than $220k now but OP 100% makes closer to $800K+ He definitely doesn't think people like me are human.
There is no help that will stop me from being an untermensch and failure? It's not going to get me a 1600 or get me into a top school or make me earn $800k a year.
Us, we have go strive for living. That's the unfairness in life. It would have been so much easier if lucky ones would acknowledge their luck than attribute for hard work and what not.
Everyone discounts luck while it is the biggest factor. Only action you can do is increase the surface area of your luck.
Try to find meaning beyond career. There are multiple ways to get lucky. Find your own luck. After all we are in an era where people get wealth screaming on top of their lungs to the internet.
I say this as someone who earns much less than you (never mind 800k), and who didn't go to a top school.
I'm no psychiatrist but your posts suggests that you see yourself as a failure, or possibly you've gotten that feedback from others directly. Perhaps at Amazon or elsewhere.
Projecting that feeling onto others suggests you would really benefit from talking to a professional about this.
I don't think you're a failure, I don't know you. But from what little you've revealed I'd say you're not a failure. But perhaps you had your own goals you failed to achieve?
I have no accomplishments, nothing to be proud of. Freshmen at MIT have more potential and prior accomplishments than I do.
You might need a refresher on the meaning of the word "under".
There is nothing wrong being under accomplished. Let me tell you a secret that helps with mental sanity. All humans are sinful creatures. We indulge in lot of these sins. If you go through this chain of thought you arrive at conclusion, everyone is inferior to one another. The material superiority you yearn for is a momentary fleet in the river of time.
Sometimes just reflect on yourself. One perspective of life is your world governs you. If you are happy in your own world, try to let go of it. Just enjoy the moments and don't hold on it.
You are the actor and creator of your reality. Your objective reality is making you feel inferior. Define your role, change your actions, and act accordingly.
The inability to act according to your role is the probably reason behind your feeling. You probably see yourself through some different lens where your actions and objective reward do not align. All you can do is control your thoughts and actions. So act.
>"i have no accomplishments"
give me a break
Objectively, you. are. not. a. failure!
Ninety-five percent of US households earn less than that. Ninety-five!
The material fact here is you have this made up story in your head that's not supported by the limited facts you've given us. I'm not going to change your self image by yelling at a stranger over the Internet; if traditional talk therapy with a human didn't work, discuss it at length with ChatGPT, or go see a sex worker, they're surprisingly good for talking to. You're also welcome to email me, link in bio.
Why are you equating money with self-worth and dignity? That's a losing battle since there's always a bigger fish.
