Earlier today at lunch, a friend of mine started to consider signing up for the Navy (they had a table in the lunch room). Doesn't sound like a big deal, right? Well thinking about it really started to bum me out. I just started thinking about how I haven't been able to accomplish a single thing in life, while other people are leading successful lives. I've thought about joining something like the Navy myself but I'm too weak to be able to excel in it (Though I took the survey anyway, I also got some free stuff from it).
Idk, I guess seeing my friend looking into joining the Navy made me realize how little I've been able to accomplish....

I'm so sorry you feel this way. But, you still have your whole life ahead of you. There is plenty of time to figure out what you're passionate about and apply yourself to it. And I don't think you're a failure. Honestly, you seem very kind, humorous, and friendly from what I've seen. Don't vein yourself down now, just try to keep your head up high and reflect on what you love doing, or want to try doing. Experimentation could be a good thing.

Don't worry about it, Sour. We can be unaccomplished at life together. *pats back*

I'm also kind of mad at myself at the moment because I got in trouble with one of my teachers for being loud and disrupting the class, and I guess the whole ordeal made me really mad (the teacher wasn't even mean about it, however) and I snapped at my friend >_>

I'm so unaccomplished too. My anxiety and depression gets in the way of me doing so much. I'm with you.

There is so much you can still do, it just depends on your priorities. For some people, it's to travel, for others, it's to fall in love and raise of family, for others, it's to be successful. Figure out what's most important to you. If you really wanted to join the Navy, nothing should stop you from doing so, but if you don't, find what you do want to do!
side note: even if you're not physically the strongest you can still be good at it. my "weak" cousin passed Marine training with flying colors because of his awesomeness at marksmanship. But that goes for everything, sometimes you can be good at what you'd never expect.

It's never too late to discover what you're good at. I'm currently in a state of sitting at home, all day every day, not knowing what to do with my future and people judge me or look down on me for not doing something with my life. If you find even one little thing you think you might like to pursue, it's worth trying. You're still young, if it's not for you, it's not for you, you can try something else. If it turns out you like/enjoy it then good! Either way, it doesn't matter, it's never too late to find something you might be good at.

They do train you rigorously. but that isn't fun. Yeah, that's the main part I'm worried about. I don't exactly have a history of being disciplined.
