I'm 21 also and feel incredibly lost and disappointing... I feel like everyone in my life is let down by me, since I usually don't hold down jobs for too long. I've been lucky in that when I "flake out" on a job I can usually do it on good terms and move "up the ladder", but in reality it just makes people see me as unstable and worthless. I've also had school issues... I failed half my classes the first semester of college, then got into business school and dropped out, then did an EMT program and didn't take the job after passing and have just been floating around. I've put a lot of effort into training horses but no one in my family gives me credit or considers it a "real" job even though thats where I made most of my money....

Just hang in there. I think a lot of us have been through this. We just need to remember that we're young and have time to figure life out! Reading Dalai Lama books have really helped me, since it's a different perspective on where values should be based... and the meditating makes me feel worthwhile, I find myself in such a better frame of mind. Usually I meditate after I realize that I spent the day or even week telling myself how worthless I am!

*hug* Just tell yourself others have been there and the fact that you are breathing makes you worthwhile!
