Cutting yourself shor..
Lame title.
moving on.
So i’ve been pondering over the idea of age, how it can describe a person. There are so many stereotypes for ages. Children: Either adorable or loud and annoying. Teenagers: Girl/Guy crazy fast drivers that listen to music way too loud and stay up way too late. old people: out of their mind, lots of stories you aren’t sure are completely accurate or not, slow moving, slow thinking beings. (Also very huggable.)
It’s so easy just to fall into those categories, in my case, just to be a typical teenager, without a care in the world.
Because of the situation i’m in, with the majority of my friends/coworkers etc are 20s+ in age. I’ve skipped my teenage years in that aspect. Being in the situation of everyone being older than me, it’s really easy for me to feel as though people won’t take me seriously and don’t respect me because of the stereotype of my age. And honestly, they won’t take me seriously and won’t respect me, if i continue with that mindset.
Having confidence in yourself makes or breaks a persons opinion. Without confidence in myself that i can do my job well, or that i have an opinion, or that i contribute to things: i will become of less worth than someone with confidence in that area.
My thoughts are kindof everywhere right now as i glance over at my clock reading 1:44 AM as my head spins delaying my sleep, but my main point here is: i feel as though because i’m only 18: I’m less intelligent, i’m not as talented, less educated, and of less worth than those around me. Nobody is making me feel that way, and until i gain enough confidence in myself, i will always feel that way. I keep thinking, just wait until i’m older and then i’ll be just as intelligent, talented and useful as them. That’s just not going to happen unless i gain confidence in myself. i am who i am, i’m not going to magically change as i grow older.
So thats what i’m working on. and to be a little more extroverted than i am. I hope that makes sense.
