Everything I attempt is like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"

Nothing I do is good enough

Constantly outnumbered outsmarted overpowered

Wounded scared surreal dissociated detached disturbed misunderstood pathetic hateful inarticulate

No hope

Been rapidly on the decline for a long time

Exhausted all the time

Nature versus nurture

Failure

Embarrassed

Living in the past

Vulnerable and fragile

Hard time adapting to change

Exhausted all the time

Exhausted all the options

I knew I'd seen the sows ear expression somewhere yesterday

Dreams is your mind's way of trying to de-stress, recover, & heal while your sleeping. Dreams are a temporary escape from life BS.

It sounds like you're going through an incredibly tough time right now. Just know that no matter how hard things seem, there’s always a way forward, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the moment. It might be worth talking to a counselor or someone you trust about what you're feeling, sometimes it helps just to get things off your chest.

That saying rings true with me. I have a very German manner to me. The more Canadian I try to act, the more it goes the other way. I pretend to enjoy having people in my space and I try to joke around and it comes back to bite me in the butt. The thing is that I was actually born in Canada.

I can relate to this. Seems like every attempt I've made to get anywhere in life falls flat. Been unemployed for over a year now and will likely end up moving back in with my parents.
