You might be too hard on yourself. Nobody who has survived and is surviving is a loser.

I agree with tommy. Being a survivor is a big feat, and you are surviving.

TC, I wish there were some way I could convince you that all the negative things you think about yourself are not true. I've read many of your posts and you seem like a very warm,intelligent and sensitive young lady. It's good that you come here to post so we can know how you're getting along.
People tell me I need to learn to love myself also. Why don't you take a day to pamper yourself? Don't think of anything else, just take care of yourself and do things that you like to do. I do that sometimes and it really helps. Take care of YOU. (((hugs)))

TC

I think there is some really good advice here....

Your temporary job ended because it's a temporary job not because of anything you did. That's not being a loser. (((Hugs))))

Language is huge TC....Even if this is the way you feel it doesn't make it true
I think if you made a commitment to you to change the way you talk to you it might really help... I hope that you will consider it... God 'spoke' the world into being... Words
If we talked to our friends the way we talked to ourselves we wouldn't have many friends for long... I read these words on a journal here and I found them to be really wise... Big hug...xo

Tc, there are some great words of wisdom from everyone here! I know it's hard to break the cycle of negative self talk, but going with what others have said here, how about trying a new approach? I know for me, it helps on this board, for example, to jump in on some other threads and try and offer encouragement to others, or stop by that big long 'unwind in the lounge' thread and have fun and be silly. That may sound simplistic but it helps to focus those negative self talk into a renewed set of Words, like Sun was explaining. Baby steps. ((((Hugs))))

Hoping that better things and opportunities will come your way...and soon.

I feel the same way that everyone else here feels about youyou are a very warm, intelligent personand you keep on going--you persevere!

You are not a loser. You seem like a thoughtful person. You may just be having a streak of bad luck with jobs.

As for me, I know the feeling. I have been having not so great luck with jobs either. Or I should say staying employed. I think I am ok in other aspects of life, but jobs and getting a paycheck are not one of them. Try to look at your life in a whole. The job part now a days is important, but look at other aspects of your life.

For me, the job thing is not working out either. I don't even get calls for interviews. I now try to focus on what I am good at. Being patient, listening, trying to be a good son. Now I added trying to be healthy by exercising and watching my food intake to what I think I am good at... just my two cents.

carve 'winner' or survivor instead and lose the loser. you keep on keeping on and that makes you one incredible survivor who keep fighting the good fight. hugs.!
