12. I’m 42 and still feel like a poser at everything I do – it is border line debilitating

    Work – I feel that my successes are fake and given to me for pity and tenure been in the same building for 20 years, I’m a manager now but feel like it can all be taken away at any moment

    Motorcycles – I am not biker enough for bikers so I have always ridden alone

    Music – grew up playing in punk rock and hardcore bands but never felt I fit in even with the outcasts

    Friends – I don’t have a lot, I used to but I let them all drift away because I always felt I wasn’t good enough for them

    Wife – of 19 years, I know she loves me but I sometimes feel she stays because her job doesn’t pay enough to live alone. I really hate myself for thinking this, she is my everything

    ​

    there is so much I want to do but I never get real enjoyment from the activities because I always feel like I have to put on a performance. don’t get me wrong I have had fun in my live but always looking back my insecurities rob me of those positive memories, sorry this kind just vomited out, thanks!

    I guess if I were stuck 20 feet in the air on a ladder I wouldn’t really loosen the grip and it would hold me back.. IT BETTER DOES!
