Right now for having to deal with incompetent coworkers and management that likes to bend the rules for a certain few.

 

[Blablurn]

looking for a job after bachelor degree, for quite some time, actually made me feel like a loser.

 

[Burgess_101]

When I was looking for a job and filling out my CV and applications. I got a C in all of my GCSEs and I couldn't shake that feeling of mediocrity.

I'm only 20 though, got an apprenticeship with the NHS. Everything's coming up Milhouse.

 

[toadsworth]

When both of my teams make it to their championship games and then both of them lose.

 

[SuoGrey]

Alotta you guys just need to say fuck it. I'm a 310 pound security guard who is dating a 20 year old 105pd cosplayer. Do I need money or a girlfriend to be considered a "winner"? Fuuuck no. The only thing I ever need in life is my happy go lucky attitude and a place to draw my pin-ups. Just stop focusing on other people and do what makes you happy the rest comes naturally.

 

[Spikematic]

Whenever I play Dota 2. Or try to do basic math.

Felt like that basically from around 7yrs old till I was 21. In my youth, everyday there was no shartage of people telling me what a loser I was, how I didn't belong, that I was a freak, I wouldn't amount to anything, the world is better off without me etc etc. Get told that enough times, and you start to believe it. WIth a shitload of counceling and help from my parents and family, I managed to pull through, barely.
Around 21 I finally saw the light, and realized I was actually proving all those motherfuckers wrong. I was on my way to a Bachelor's degree, while the people who were putting me down were stuck in dead-end jobs, trapped in a life they were not happy with, and became what they promised me to become.
Since that moment, I didn't feel like a loser every day, but occasionally. And those moments are getting more sparse the older I get.

I'm 21 and had 1 real girlfriend which is not that bad, but it took me until I was 19 to finally meet a girl who doesn't just wanna be friends, what if it takes 10 years until I meet another one?

People around me have either been in a shitload of relationships/long term relationship or are single, but constantly have sex with different people. A random fling with someone is something that seems totally impossible to happen to me, but it seems to happen to everyone I know regularly.

 

[Goldenroad]

When you see somebody waving and you wave back and it turns out they were waving to the person behind you.

Things like that mostly.

 

[How About No]

I don't know that last part sounds like a decent afternoon. Not so much the hurting or ziplock bag part but still

OK I must be experiencing divine retribution for this reply cuz I've had to go to the bathroom 3 times for ~10 min stretches in the last 3 hours

 

[CDV13]

When most of your friends you used to talk to don't even send you a check up text or call for no reason.

It pisses me off, but I can handle it. Also, when you sit at home all weekend to save money. Pretty boring and awful.

 

[LordCiego]

Booked a Flight, just right after and only after confirming it and paying it we notice that we have a weeding in that weekend. Had to change the date and eat a 140€ fee.

Fuck you Ryanair.

I'm 20 and haven't had a girlfriend whatsoever. I know plenty of people at my school like this as well. You are not the only one, so don't beat yourself up about it!

 

[SuperOrez]

Lately it has been hitting me pretty good. I'm 29 and I'm still trying to compete in video games. All these young guys are just passing me by and getting so much better. I'd never been better than above average but it sucks just seeing it all go away. There's no way I'll ever win a local tourney and me continuing to practice is just a waste of time. But I can't stop. That's what's making me feel like a loser.

 

[Tunavi]

I usually feel pretty great. I'm pretty happy to be where I'm at


But when I see people my age traveling the world I feel like a loser

 

[Armadilo]

After high school I should of gone to college, community college to be specific. But I was scared because I had no money and no job, I didn't want to end up in debt.

I graduated high school in 2012 and we are in 2016, so I should of been in college but no..fuck man I need a time machine

 

[Yopis]

Mother had spinal injury year after highschool. I dropped college came home and helped. None of my brothers did. She was able to recover and is doing well. We have a great bond from those tough years.

Saying that...when I look at my brothers and the progress they made during those years. Or friends from school it does make me feel like a loser sometimes.

Bummer it all happened that way and feel like stepping up and helping, screwed me long-term in some ways. Always playing catch-up and some things I missed out on because passage of time.

 

[braves01]

Every god damn day

 

[ryseing]

I have this paper that's overdue that I haven't been able to finish because of anxiety reasons. It's not like I haven't tried to work on it, it's just that every time I do I freak out and just almost end up in tears.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Playing League. It's the only multiplayer game I'm not that good at. Feels bad dominating at everything else and then playing League.

After finishing my degree, I moved back in with my Mom so I can build my savings up. Since then I've had no luck finding work relating to my degree in the neighboring city, so I ended up taking a job at a department store in my hometown. Been working there 9 months and rarely had any interactions with friends from college or high school.

While working the register on Christmas Eve, a friend I knew from high school, and several musical productions, rushes to hug me and ask what I've been up to. We talk for a bit, finding out that she and her fiancé are back in town to spend Christmas with her family. We start talking about movies and she asks if I want to see The Force Awakens with her and some friends. I ask would she be interested in seeing it late Christmas Day (only day I was off), in which she replied that this would work for her.

I played it cool while at the store, but I was bleeding glee on the inside. It had been so long since I had hung out with anyone in my area. Christmas morning comes and I Facebook message her to see if this was still happening. She says it is still on, so I go about my Christmas day. When the time comes, I drive over to the movie theater, arriving about 20 mins before the showing, and I message her to see if they were already there. No response. I keep messaging at 5 min intervals but still no response. I decide to buy my ticket and enter the theater, hoping to see them already in there. I don't find them and I continue to message up until the title card.

After the movie I still had no response from her. I went back to my car and just sat there for a bit. The movie was good and all, but I wanted to share this experience with friends, not alone on Christmas Day. After awhile I just went back home, met up with some family and that was that.

A few days later she messages me back saying that her phone was busted sometime after our last conversation and that she had no intention of standing me up. I'm still hurt by it but I figure it was easier to forgive and just be cautious of any future invites from her. Still didn't get a reason why they changed their mind or why she couldn't have jumped on a computer to message me on Facebook that they weren't going.

TL;DR Loser gets excited to hang with a friend and others after months of no social interaction. Ends up seeing The Force Awakens by himself on Christmas night.

 

[Liljagare]

All those awkwardly wrong "you too!"s in my life.

 

[Octavianus]

meh

 

[Ogodei]

Mostly when i get ignored, either off of job applications or on OKCupid, though the latter doesn't sting as much when you realize how bad most girls have it on there.

when my GF of 8 years left me

 

[Kolx]

This thread is depressing yet makes you feel good for not being the only one who feels like this.

 

[Glendemonium]

Being that scatterbrained guy who causes wipes in a raid (or just dies a lot to unfair mechanics), despite putting in best efforts. While others seem to pull it off flawlessly.

There are people in this town that used to give me so much shit for not being married (or having children) by my age, going to church and tithing or "giving myself over to God" because of all the negative stuff that's happened in my life. Which ironically has come from people who associate with churches. Most of them are of gone from my life, but the couple of them who remain I don't hang out with anymore for that reason.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Basically every second I'm awake.

[Kas]

Working a job I hate, supporting 2 people, having no real friends, and having nothing to show for it makes me want to die every single waking moment. And usually in my dreams as well.

So every single second.

 

[NandyRewman]

Christ I joined a month and a half before you and have barely broken 1,000.

So to answer your question, right now OP. No one knows my name on here!

I joined a month before you and I haven't even hit three hundred!

If it makes you feel any better Distortion, I'll keep my eye out for you in any threads o frequent.

 

[WetWaffle]

First time posting on GAF, nice to meet you guys.

Anyway, the most recent was this weekend. I dedicated my sunday to watching my favorite movies as a kid(Shrek, Mulan, Akira etc) and I decided to get up and take a leak in my shared bathroom (I live in a college dorm). The moment I enter, I look in the mirror and see a girl topless wearing nothing but panties, instantly says "oh shit!" with my neighbor as well, who apparently started showering together after I left. I spent my day watching movies for nostalgia, and my neighbor was presumably porking it.

Didn't feel good.

 

[Uncle_Classy]

I'll always be a loser, and that's okay.

You made a sacrifice for your family. In the end, that's the most important sacrifice you can make.

You should be proud of what you did.

If it takes 10 years man then so be it. Put yourself out there, join some clubs, chat some girls up, and who knows what can happen? There's no clearly defined path for what's normal/abnormal in regards to sexual relationships. When you're ready, good things will happen.
