I came here to share my feelings again. You, mylotters, are really my best friends, far away from me, but can really be good listeners. Thank you all. I feel I am so small when I get along with some big potatoes. I am not just referring to the age. That is because of experience, knowledge and many other aspects. Do you have the same feelings in your life and how do you overcome this feeling and get a peace in your heart.

Yes, I know how you feel. After many years graduating from college, I find that I am a failure in my career when I compare to my friends from the same school. They have achieved so much in life. When I read their Facebook, they are so successful, they are now respected figure in their industry. One girl who used to sit in front of me in the class is now a multiple award winner in movies making. She won Best Director, Best Movie and many more. She is also the Top 40 successful person below age 40 in my country. Another classmate of mine is a country editor for a prestige/privilege magazine in Thailand. Some are lawyers, entrepreneur etc. So, the only thing we can do is admire them, modeled their mindset and move forward to be successful in our life too. Looking back and regret, or complaints bring no benefits at all. We should have right mindset and right attitude from now if we want to bring ourselves bigger and higher to the next level in life so that we too can enjoy the best in life. It is never too late!

No I don't and I never had. Even not as a kid although I had all the reasons to feel small, to feel a completely nobody/loser. Since my parents did everything (esp. my mother) to break me, to humilate me, they told me day and night what a terrible person I am, useless, unwanted and beated me up in the worst ways one can think of. But I did believe in myself although I had hardly contact with the outside world. Already at a young age I understood that it's only me I need, I have to live with me so I should find me, stay me and cherish me. This is still what I am doing. I have my own view on life, I stay away from gossips and frequently from people too. Especially if they take away my positive energy (feelings) and exhaust me. I also am not willing anymore to jump and run for people who are not worth it and only abuse me and still stab me in the back. I created my own safe place (which you can do in your mind as well) and don't feel the need to let others in (not in my house, not by answering the phone, not by forcing or manipulating me to do things I don't want). After all happiness is a choice and we all are different. What is important or of value to me doesn't need to work for you. Accept and respect yourself. Also treat yourself well and pamper yourself. This way you will be able to love yourself. There is no need to be like the others. Plus remember: those big potatoes can look big but the inside can be empty or have a terrible taste. Good story tellers you will find everywhere but it doesn't mean the stories they tell all happened to them!

We sometimes go through this phase. And the best way to overcome it is wanting to get over it and not be affected too much. Friends and families should will always be there to hear you out whenever you need somebody to express what you feel and think.

Sometimes I have that feeling too when I'm with some big potatoes too as you have said in regards to status, wealth, etc. Maybe because some people made you think that way when you are with them. What I do and think is that as long as I'm not doing anything bad to them, I will regain my composure or not be ashamed that I'm not wealthy as they are. I also think that every human being has its own way of doing in life. That every person has its own intelligence and purpose alott by God. have a nice day!

Yes, but most of the experiences come from age. Of course the more number of years in the age, the more steps had been taken, more roads had passed and more crosses had carried. No, I am not finding myself so small because I know how to express myself. If I want to say something and for the goodness of everyone or just express myself, I say. if no one listens, i don't shout i just keep quiet and keep to myself and say... "you will see my point in the end".

Yeah,that is true. The people I am admiring are much older than me. But I think my feelings is not only from gaps of ages.

Do not have inferior complex. Feeling small will make you lose your self confidence. Just remember you have an equal chance to be as good as them. Just observe what makes them better, do it and I believe in no time you also can be a successful person too. Many successful people today was once a nobody too!

I often got that feeling too,Speaking of financial status, knowledge and power i can say that i really don't have it.And literally speaking i am just a small girl and from that they just always making me feel down.But i just think of it as a challenge in my life, i must show them that i cannot easily be drown by them though i have nothing to be proud of but i guess having confidence with my self and being determined will be enough to stand up straight.

We are often feeling that. I think the most important thing we can get a peace in our heart is enjoy our life. Although we are not that great, we are living. Spend more time with your friends and you will feel better.
