Positive thinking really helps though it can be hard when you feel people are watching and judging your actions. It is like they don’t really understand the person and their feelings. They expect me to do well as though I have no problems at all. It makes me anxious a lot of the time and I feel like I’m living up to their expectations rather doing it for myself. My parents and their friends tell me that it is for myself but I get the feeling of being pressured. All their questioning about whether I found a job and what kind of jobs I’m looking for are just driving me crazy. They wouldn’t think I’m much good if I didn’t succeed or if I’m just stuck in a rut.

Chad,

Thank you for your kind reply. One of the advisers who helped me cancel some of the accounts was also named Chad. He was very understanding about the situation which I didn’t expect from the staff there. Another adviser said that she appreciated that I was being honest after I mentioned feeling guilty about what I had done. She told me not to worry.

After situations like these, I get to understand more deeply that people don’t always do the thing right. In the past, I used to feel angry or annoyed if another driver disobeys the traffic laws or if someone does something bad. But recently I’ve become more understanding and I will try to help them if possible. I will research the topics you have mentioned.
I appreciate the time you took to write a reply to me. It is very helpful.
