[QUOTE=lucky;26634345]Hello, Mr. Facepunch.
You're 17, right? Oh, um, sorry, 18. Or 13? No, 20. 24?
Hey, good news: it doesn't matter. It never had and never will.
I heard your IQ is like 140 too. Or maybe 80. Maybe I heard 100. I'm a bit hard of hearing.
How are you doing at school right now? A's? D's?
How's your job? Do you have one?
Oh, but wait: that doesn't matter either. Not the least bit.
What do you do for fun? Draw, code, write, play an instrument?
How good are you at it? I bet you're pretty good. Maybe not though.
How's your social life? Got many friends? Any [i]romantic interests? :D[/i]
Whatever the case, it's okay.
Lets say you are some dumb secluded guy with no particular talents who fails at almost everything they try.
I will now say three magical words to turn all of that around.
Are you ready?
Fuck the shit.
You are no longer that guy. [i]"Oh great, it's another one of these guys who thinks they have life all figured out and is going to give me some stupid advice about it that I'm pretty sure will get me nowhere."[/i] Nope. See, I haven't told you to do anything yet. You just did this all by yourself. How does it feel? I bet you feel pretty good. But lets not sink back into that hole you just climbed out of. You're on the edge of it right now, holding yourself up by your toes. Step forward a bit. Good.
Here is what you should do:
1. Take 1 risk every day. Do something you've never done before every single day. It doesn't have to be big, it just has to be something.
2. Prioritize things that you need to do over things that you want to do. In the end, this is a lot less stressful. Don't go crazy with it though. Leave yourself at least like...2 hours, let's say, of free time every day to do whatever you want.
3. Every time you find yourself focusing on what's bad about you, remember what's good about you. You're a lot more than you think. If the others' judgement seems to define what you think about yourself, you are not doing this. If you constantly find yourself comparing yourself to others, you are not doing this. Remember what's good about you. Do this.
Give this stuff a legitimate try. Here is where you walk a thin line, and make a big choice. By "choice" I don't mean "the choice to succeed." That's bullshit, if you put it that way. I'm talking about the choice to try those 3 things listed above. 99% of the time, they will help you a ridiculous amount. You won't even believe it.

So basically you are saying do whatever the fuck we want? I already am.
I'm all for realizing what is good about yourself and not thinking "negatively", but to not think about your flaws period is detrimental. That puts you into a state of delusion. "Oh, I don't need to practice speaking in public I'll just ignore it."
A week later in a public speech.
"Well, like, if you, like push this, like, button... you can like change the window and like make it totally go to a different color."
I know that is a bit extreme, but you should think about your negatives and your positives. Don't dwell on your negatives, but think about how you can change them.
I would critique the rest of your post, because it sounds like its from one of those life coaching books that are utter bullshit, however, I have to take a shit so I'm going to let you finish, but I'm going to take one of the greatest shits of all time.
