I’m currently a freshman, and I always feel like I’m not doing enough. I constantly compare myself to others and feel like I’m not good enough to be here—even though I know I want to be here and that I’m capable.
I keep comparing myself to my roommate. We’ve been friends for a while, but it feels like he’s way ahead of me. He recently got a job that we both applied for, and I didn’t get it. Now he might also start working in his field soon.
On top of that, we’re in the same major, but while I’m struggling in these classes, he seems to be doing great.
I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m stuck in an endless loop of mind games with myself—just constantly comparing. I want to do better and be better. I want to experience these opportunities too. Honestly, I’m just ready for this semester to be over.
I’m honestly disappointed in myself.
