What holds you back in life?

[Reecejackox 349]

Shyness probably for myself 

[J.J 918]

A "reputation" built off of unwanted and disregarded sentiments of "infamy". I would be in a much better place, socially, emotionally, psychologically and even spiritually if I had received the benefit of the doubt more often. I would say it's how and why I really relate to Sunset and Starlight BUT I was NEVER "that bad", and it would be unfair to even suggest that. But yeah ppl change, they evolve in ways interpersonally that make them a completely DIFFERENT person, realization, recognition, respect. I will find some genuine friendships, I can't live a life of regret for not valuing the ones I had more deeply, and I can't replace a true friend, I can just hope our paths cross again and that I may meet other new friends on this path...

Whoa I'm just going to say this really meant alot to read I can relate in ways with your post. Just remember... you are still here despite whatever mistakes or regrets we may have... we can move past these things and become better/stronger along the road. Wishing and hoping the very best too you in everything!

Depression and anxiety

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

Lack of motivation and learned helpless. Plus procrastination.

[Winter Storm 207]

My lack of social skills, shyness too maybe.

[DubWolf 16,619]

Lack of privilege and opportunity. Life doesn’t have to be described like in those pitiful memes.

Depression and anxiety. I've been struggling with them for years now, and they have been part of the cause of why I haven't been making as much progress as I desire.

Putting my own priorities aside in favor of doing things other people want me to do. By the time I’m done doing stuff for others, I have no time or resources left for me. But it’s okay; I’ve come to terms with it and it’s all good. Very good in fact.

[TBD 17,228]

It would be the fear of failing thus lead to lack of motivation.

I don't even know. Like in terms of music, I'm yet to figure out what's holding me back, but here I go with music again. Third time's the charm, right? Really hoping I can figure it out this time.

I think being introverted has held me back a lot in terms of relationships. But it's more than that, I don't really have any way of meeting people. I don't go to church because I am a non-believer so I can't meet people there, I don't go to bars or party because that's totally not me. I'm certainly struggling how to find someone. I feel like I'm in a very strange place and don't know how to navigate. But honestly, since I'm making plans to move to a far away state, it may not be the best for me to find someone right now anyway.

There's also health issues. Which I could go on forever about, so I'll spare everyone that though.

Pretty much my life is holding me back. But it is okay

I’d have to say money.

Time is holding me back. It takes a long time to do things, and who has time?

[Cash In 21,517]

Motivation. There's a lot that I could do, but I don't have the energy or motive to do them. I guess you could call me lazy, but I wouldn't really want to go further in life doing stuff I don't have any passion for.

[Winter Storm 207]

I have no confidence whatsoever I don't know how I'm supposed to fake that.

[Justin_Case001 4,857]

EVERYTHING.  I have pantophobia.

[zerox 1,050]

Lots of things sadly. Been having health issues since I was born. I have bad immune system, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia. Felt tired and useless most of my life.
