Title
Honestly, I'm a huge disappointment and I really haven't accomplished much in life.
Getting too old to give excuses, but hey at least I'm decent at writing.
Probably not gonna read this thread much so I don't get too envious of people ahaha

I'm quite satisfied with what I've accomplished in my schooling and in my career. I like what I do, where I work, the amount of money I make, and who I work with, and hope to keep that going for many years to come.

As far as relationships, I've too often attached my satisfaction and worth to who I've been with. So I'm working on remedying that aspect of myself.

I'm just living my life man, do I need to be proud of anything? I think just being happy is enough to justify living.

I don't really feel pride, if I've taken the time to get good at something I'm thinking more along the lines of what I could do to still get better. If I'm bad at something well it will depend on how much effort if any that I've put it into learning it in regards to how I'll feel about it and if it's useful to be good at t.

I'm proud of myself for how I've handled some things, like relationships, but not proud for how I've handled things like school and disciplining myself.

There is a lot of life left to live for me, though.

Dang this one is getting personal, but I like it

Short answer, definitely not.

I'm taking the bachelor's for business administration, but as far as the timeline goes, I don't think I'm even a QUARTER of the way there, even though I graduated high school back in 2016... TWENTY SIX-TEEN. That should probably give you a good idea of where I'm at now. It's mainly due to me being lazy asf, put me up there in the world's top procrastinators.

But for the most part all's good. I still got my loving family by my side and have a stable part time job with people I know and am pretty close with. Maybe I'm not there from a point where society sees where I should be, but if you ask me personally, I'm happy and content, and I've got all I need and want. But yeah I should probably work a little harder lol.

hmmmm a fine/good (maybe?) looking slim guy who's about to become a historian, maybe archeaologician in 2 years.

Anime fan, Buhurt fan, Bleach fan, Video Games fan, Star Wars enjoyer, who's trying to date a girl from time to time.

A slav who's often going out with buddies to drink beers/vodka/whisky enjoying the free time and visiting other cities or countries.

Well despite of how it sounds like I actually am proud of who've I became.

All I know is that I become great at anything I do. So even if my path is blocked in one direction and I am forced to change course I will still come out on top. But it's hard to be proud of myself because I can't take the credit. it is God who has blessed me and given me the ability to learn and overcome.

Somewhat... I never really thought I'd be as independent as I am and have my own place, as my parents were very protective of me and didn't really prepare me much for all of that. I'm also quite proud that I've not lost my mind with all that I've experienced.

So far, I feel ok with what I've become. Proud? No. I hope I can be in the future though.

Many things happened and realizations and secrets have been brought up into my life that it literally changed how my brain functions and I feel like I've become so different. It's eerie sometimes because I don't consider myself as "normal" anymore. I can never be the same person I was again.

I often see people bragging or at least show off whenver they've accomplished something to be proud of, hence you'll feel pressured for being left behind as a minority--but in reality, many others are also facing your situation, they just refuse to show it.
Accomplish things at your own pace and stop comparing yourself to others, which I also need to work at lol

This question might be tough.
But yeah I am half satisfied who I am.
I love to be introvert but due to this irl I might lose my friends.
I have so much free time but I can't utilize it properly.
I have eager to learn new thing but always get distracted by something.
I have so many friend but I don't have a good friend(idk why I write this)

And yeah I can make a full list about it.

I am NOT AT ALL proud of what I have become. Not only did natural selection fuck me over, but I just don't have the looks and personality I wanted... I guess that's what makes characters in things like anime and video games so resourceful though, because they have identities and whatnot that we either see some of our inner-self in or just straight out want. I think some of my best qualities is my tastes in what characters I like and what fashion sense I like, but everyone can say that about their own personal tastes. Overall I'm nothing special... though not to say this in an envious way... even though I do have that characteristic trait in me. I'm more so just being honest.

Hey, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, just try to focus more on the positive
A little bit hard work can balance everything out tbh

Like, try to highlights your strengths more than your weaknesses.
For example, the only thing I'm probably decent at is writing, but I won't get anywhere just being decent.
So I keep working hard to improve my writing so hopefully it can take me somewhere someday.
Just sulking will do nothing for me, so acknowledging at least some of your strengths is the important first step to not only balance things out but improving yourself.

The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.

There was a time I was young and foolish enough to think one day I'd be able to save the world from war, poverty and foolishness.

Now, I'm happy if I manage a good deed once in a while. That doesn't make one less proud.

Dang, sounds like you got it rough then
Nothing wrong with pretending to be normie though; do just the bare minimum in life to be happy.
Maybe that'll slow the downward spiral

Not exactly, but I'm trying to work on it. I feel like I've lost myself in some ways due to depression. I don't do things I used to enjoy nearly as much as a few years ago. However, in the last few years I've been through some very tough times including loss of a parent, and I think it's only natural for such things to have an effect.
