ARE YOU ME?? I turned 20 last week & all is the exact same. I’ve never had any romantic experience and am convinced it’s just me. Like maybe I’m just not pretty enough to grab anyone’s attention. My grades also suck. I have a job but…idk. I feel like people there don’t like me & think I suck at it. I kind of feel like I have nothing to offer in life honestly. BUT I have been talking to a counselor & she’s amazing

Since going to her, I guess I’m less stressed & not as sad. Her advice so far has been: to just take it one day at a time, fix what you can & don’t waste time stressing about things you can’t, trying to have a more positive view of yourself, and writing everything down (whether it’s a journal or planner). So far, this advice has helped me-especially when it comes to academics
