In ten years,their lives may end up a train wreck and no one knows their name while you will probably have a steady job and a stable home, you'll wonder why you even cared.

[dar-actually.livejournal.com]

OP? You have NOT failed. Life isn't a competition or an MMO or anything. There's no high score, there's no winning or losing and there's no

I'm telling you this, because this is something you need to learn to nip in the bud right now. This is how some of the earliest stages of depression manifest, by negatively comparing yourself to others. You start thinking "If I had their looks or their money or their family or friends or their connections or their opportunities", and once you get started it doesn't stop. You start resenting the qualities you think you lack that you see in others. Then you hit a point where you think almost everyone else is somehow "better" than you. It's a downward spiral, and one that feeds itself. The only way to be happy with who you are is learn how to be happy with who you are, NOT that you've managed to turn yourself into someone else. You don't have to be like somebody else, you can just be a better you. Life isn't about being more or less like someone else or having the same kind of life that they do. It's about finding out for yourself what makes you happy and doing that.

You have NOT failed, OP. It's impossible for you to have failed, you haven't even begun. But good grades and on your way to a good college is a hell of a headstart. You've done good, and you deserve better for yourself than to go to college depressed. And what's more, you're doing it for yourself, not at the whim of some record company or publicity machine. Don't be fooled by the glamour. Life's still yours for the taking. Now more than ever, actually.

Whoops, typing fail. Meant to say there's nobody keeping score.

[aeonamber.livejournal.com]

This, absolutely.

[jezmitt.livejournal.com]

Yes, this. This is good advice.
Well said, dazz. :)

Don't measure their success/life choices against your own, anon; you've just taken a different path than they have. Anything could happen throughout your lifetimes and - not that it matters really - you could end up far more successful and content in the long-run. Keep on working hard towards what you want to do, and enjoy it. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I feel the exact same way, with one difference: what I want from life is to be big in their business. The fact that they're so successful by my age or younger is depressing; the fact that I'll have a hard time attaining and maintaining success in life due to my severe mental problems is more so; and the fact that that is what I want to do, well, people like that make me feel like if I'm not famous by now, it's too late. And that's the most depressing of all.

It sucks to look at people who are already so far ahead so early on, but it sucks ten times worse when you look at them and know you've passed right by your only microscopic window of opportunity.

("negatory perform"...really, captcha? really?)

[(Anonymous)]

Capcha's a bitch, can't read it half the time lol

[(Anonymous)]

Oh honey. I can't say this with 100% certainty, but those idols are not self-made. They were probably discovered by a music industry professional who told them exactly what to wear, what to say and what to sing. It's doubtful that any of them have done it alone! They are the "creation" of someone else.
Meanwhile, unless someone did all of your homework for you, your accomplishments are your own! Don't negate them. :]

[manatees.livejournal.com]

OP, I totally understand what you mean. So many people around my age (21) have achieved such amazing things, yet it took me three shots to get A levels and get into university, and even then with awful grades. Fortunately the career I want to get into (politics) isn't age-limited in the same way showbiz can be, but it still makes me feel like a failure.

[cykstar.livejournal.com]

I think it's interesting how there are people my age are able to make it big in more than entertainment, but I wouldn't draw my jealousy from pop idols. It's really tough to be a public figure. And there's a lot of dark things that go on in that kind of industry. All of it is for the sake of money, and there's the whole crazy fans and anti-fans thing and budgets and if you make one mistake it sticks with you forever.

I'd much rather be living a relatively quiet life with a steady income than be an idol.

[(Anonymous)]

SAME HERE, ANON. I also use to get good grades but I feel so frustrated when I see those successful girls. I've wanted to learn Music and playing guitar, piano or violin since a while but this fucking degree and my parents' expectations are like a stupid pressure.

(ps. Excuse my bad English.)

[(Anonymous)]

You'll soon discover that the majority of things you did in high school were pointless anyway. Life doesn't technically start till college.

I ttly get this - I remember feeling freaked the first time I fancied a celebrity who was younger than me (Rafael Nadal, the bastard); I'm almost as old now as Douglas Adams was when he first wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I am never, ever going to be awesome; if I ever had a chance, it's long gone.

And that's okay! I mean, it's not like that makes us any different from 99.9% of everyone else, so we'd better get used to it.
