“Why Does This Keep Happening to Me?

I settle into a job for one or two years, then I have to leave—either I am fired or I resign. After that, I struggle with EMIs, health problems, family issues, social pressure, and financial stress. Then I start searching for a job again. This cycle has been repeating in my life for the last twenty years. Family problems, health issues, age-related worries, and societal pressure never seem to end. Since my birth, my life feels like a continuous struggle. The same problems keep coming back, and I keep asking myself—why is this always happening to me?

You sound like you have the same problems we all have. It's just that you dont seem to handle them very well.

You aren't alone in that type of cycle. I don't know why it happens to some people like that but I have seen it before in some work colleagues. I'm sorry that happens and wish somebody could figure out why it happens and how to make it stop.

I don’t think you’re alone as I’m sure others have experienced these bad things too. Have you ever thought about seeing a counselor? They might help you get an understanding of what you can change to keep these things from happening. I know counseling has helped me have a few “aha!” moments.

This is a very touching confession. I am sorry about that but let me assure you, you are not alone. Many people go through the same. You only need to fist accept you have a problem, then face it. Facing it means you will have to practice these two important traits: PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE. You may have to fail once or twice more but once you get through, you will have come up with a methodology for sticking to a "job" whether or not you're enjoying it. Best wishes my friend. Regards from Kenya.
