| My IQ was tested around 147 back when I was 13 years old. But people who are way less intelligent are getting what they want while I cant. So is it social skills, continuous effort, having mental health or just luck, that makes the difference? I feel like I'm missing something |

| Last month I had a talk with my cousin who has a well paid job and hassle free life. I checked some high school classmates on social media and they also seem to have achieved a lot. How do these guys get all they want while I struggle to get what I deserve. Is it luck? |

| I'm going to be 27 in a few months. And i can't really keep up with peers and life in general. Not feeling like a 27 year old. My social skills are regressing. Also, my conditions, autism and anxiety are holding me back. I see my face tired in the mirror. |

I'm just like my 13 year old self at 26, no difference or an important achievement.
Putting more effort doesnt give any results. It just leads to burnout.
Sometimes I believe that I can't change at all and it's my destiny. |
