Why do I feel like a failure?

[Anonymous]

I hold a federal position, own my home with no co-signer, have a 2022 vehicle, own my own acreage with livestock in it. Yet…I feel like a failure. I feel like I’m in the bottom and I’m not enough. I’m 26 by the way

First of all, I am so sorry you are feeling like this. You should be so incredibly proud of yourself for where you are at such a young age. Do you are definitely not a failure, you are an amazing achiever. I think you are trying to fill the voids and lonliness of having no family in your life. Please see a counsellor if you can, as I don't know your situation and I really think you will benefit from their help. I'm only saying this because they helped me and turned my life around. Please reach out at anytime if you ever feel like you need to talk x

You are putting yourself value in material BS that one day will be destroyed, sold or whatever happens to it.

Those things don't bring fulfillment, it's all vanity.

Your value is found in God and being a better person and being rich in things money, possessions or positions money can't buy.

See a therapist. Seriously. Are you chasing approval from an unsupportive parent?

I’m not on speaking terms with any of my family members except for one of my sisters. Maybe that’s taking a toll on me.

It sounds like you didn't grow up with a lot of love. Therapy could help. It helped me.

lol. It's because you're chasing material possessions, and not meaningful relationships.

You’re not by most standards tbh

Are you married and do you have kids?
