hello all.

i use to be a high achiever during studies . now after ten years out of school and without any solid experience. and watching people going above and beyond who came to me for help. i just feel bad myself.

due to some personal reason i didnt do proper job. just 8 months of part time and then small ventures. i never set my foot into the corporate world or working life.

meanwhile i moved to another country learn that language not master it being fluent in it. these are my small wins. struggle with anxiety and depressio. and came out of it.

but when i think of starting work again i have imense fear and shame. yes shame is the right word. for not trying enough not doing what others did. i lack confidence. i dont trust myself anymore.

its not like i didnt try. but i got plenty of rejections, failed business, but now i feel like its not enough. ! i just feel like im a lost cause.

why im sharing all that i dont know and i even dont know what im looking for here.

thanks

             I feel many who were high achievers in school have issues adapting into work world. school is designed as controlled environment where there is only one right answer ...  life is not like that.  there is no shame in not being able to fit in like others have you just have not found the right fit for you. 

moving to another country is a big thing many are too scared to do... you tried with a business and even if it did not work out, some do not make it for various reasons.  many people never have the confidence to try that .... you can do things you just have to keep trying new things in life or work.
