    It may look to others like I've got my shit together, but I'm the only one who knows just how many things I'm neglecting to do because I can't find the time or motivation for them.

    On the outside I look like a responsible adult but on the inside it just feels like I'm swimming in place, only achieving a fraction of what I set out to do.

    this cat never understand get shit together concept
    as long as you live you will have problem, as you grow older experience will teach lil wisdom about how to see problem and how to handle it that all
    as for your current problem you need to identify root of it then choice appropriate way to solve it
    this lazy cat often see other cat like to make simple matter become so complicate and vice versa~
    anyway let it go~

    Eh, once you start working, you'll realize that a lot of people are unbelievably incompetent and you'll start questioning how on earth human civilization hasn't collapsed yet. :blobpeek:

    Ai-chan has lost count how many times Ai-chan had to cover up for some subordinate's mistakes and getting scolded by the boss for their mistakes. Ai-chan also sometimes raged when a superior demolished Ai-chan's good record with one totally dumb mistake. Such as ordering non-returnable goods in very large quantities simple because it sells but he didn't realize that it sold because Ai-chan did very good job at convincing customers to buy the old stocks that wouldn't sell for over a year.

    Some people are high energy and some people are reeeeaaaalllly low energy, like me -_- hi. Recharging takes more time than the actual social activity I had to do, including my job. School was a bloody nightmare until I got a computer at home to read fanfiction on and de-stress. Some people will tell you there are ways to schedule your time and rewire yourself to live that kind of active life. I mean, sure, you probably can. What do you really want tho? If you want to be in a club, go be in a club. If you study slowly and have difficulties, spend more time on your studies or change your major. I don't know your life. I'm perfectly happy meeting my friends once a month and spending the rest of my free time chilling at home. Oh, just recently heard from a youtube video, that socializing more actually helps your brain's activity, so it'll help you learn more reliably. I have a friend who has social things planned for every single day. It actually brings her joy. So if you're just not that type of person, I don't see why you have to force yourself. Try to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, but no need to chase after a made up ideal. Comparing yourself to others is rather unhealthy in the long run.
