I really want to know what people struggle with the most in their lives. What is your biggest problem in life? What is the most problematic thing in your life?

Mine has to be my mind. I think of so many difficult questions that end up messing my life up. I over think so many deep questions, that I end up twisting the truth. Then, when I apply whatever thing I have thought of to my life, it screws everything up.

>>2 wow.. I honestly can't possibly relate more

Another thing I struggle with has to be worry and stress. I overwork, worry, and stress all the time and it's become such a big part of my life I break down if I try to change. I care so much about other peoples problems I somehow convince myself that my health is much further down the ladder than someone elses. Even for people too far gone, I can't help.. trying to help, and it ends up hurting me either way. Struggling to look the other way, or struggling to help the un-help-able

It is impossible for me to make a decision, because I am always trying to please everyone and that is hard.

>>4 >>2 I have to agree. It is really a problem for me...

I'd have to say my biggest problem is lying. I'm a compulsive liar, to the point that I convince myself of things.

My biggest problum is love. I can never find a girl I truely like, or stay with one for more than a month that im still remotly interested in. I can never say I have been in love before.

My biggest problem are relationships. Not nesessarily bf-gf, but thats not going too hot right now either, but just relationships in general. I've distanced myself away from my parents, and while my dad is ok with me, never really argumentative, he drinks and I avoid him for that, and my mom just finds every excuse to yell at me, and make an argument, I swear she tries to make everyday things harder on me... Right now, my relationship with my ex-gf, we recently broke up, I knew there was a problem, but instead of confronting it directly, I tried to see if it would change... I just don't know where it all went wrong or how, and it eats me up...

>>8 I just simply agree with you.. Its really hard for me at my house too. Its no that I hate my parents or whole family, I just dont want anthing to do with them anymore. I simply dont like them. If I had the opportunity to have a house for me alone, without my parents or brother and my money is well placed, I wouldnt even think about it , I would definitly go .. The same day.

Indecisiveness and fickleness are the source of most of my dilemmas. I'm the kind of person that thinks as many steps ahead as possible before making even the smallest decision. I also can't do something unless I'm in the mood for it and lose that mood as soon as I'm interrupted. When these combine, it makes me easily irritable, especially when I can't find solitude as I'm working. When I do make a decision and am in the mood to work on what I decided on, I can keep at it for hours without taking a break so long as nobody gets in the way, but it seems like there's nowhere that I can keep that concentration anymore.

That's another one of the major reasons I want to move out so bad; I want to be somewhere alone so I can do what I have to do. With the paper thin walls of this trailer and the lack of locks on anything, I can't even rely on silence in my own room. So frustrating.

My biggest struggle is my stress and anxiety, if I don't control them, they take control of me. I have had them take control again and it took a long time to take back my control over them. If I could throw them into a box and lock them up, I would, but I can't. So I have to fight everyday to keep them under control, but facing your shadow self is a lot of struggle.

Mine would be feeling inferior to others. I lack confidence. Even though I know I'm not stupid or ugly. It sometimes makes me not wish to try to do something, because I think I will fail and be mocked by others. However, I'm doing great at overcoming this fear.

>>16 Condolences.

Confidence. I fear that I can't make people like me for who I am. I can't please people yet I want to. It's just hard when I'm surrounded with people who doesn't think the same as me. I over think too much. I get lots of negative thoughts in my head, making me stress myself and often lead to contemplating suicide. I'm trying my best to be optimistic.

Being happy is tough.
It takes a lot of hard work and...well, struggling.

people not likeing me

I want to be smart, intelligent, but I am not. I really feel stupid when my classmates know the answer and I don't , I feel depressed that I don't want to go to school because I'm ashamed.

Being isolated

I want to be successful in life, but at the same time I don't want to conform. People put so much pressure in society. All I really want to be is a recluse, but financially independent.

I'm don't hate people. In fact I find them interesting. That's why I like reading, history, and geography. Those things are about people, their accomplishments and how they live. I am not interested in socializing, however.

I don't wanna be lonely and I'm trying my best to keep all the people I truly care about close to me,but I feel like I'm only pushing them aside and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong.

I spread myself too thin and set my standards too high. I make myself take on a shitload of responsibilities and then get mad at myself if I don't do them all perfectly.

The biggest struggle in my life is unfortunately not letting go of the past and learning from my mistakes. Although I may fake being "okay" I still have this feeling of regret and sadness. It brings me to depression a lot but I've found ways to vent. (friends,family members, etc) Without those guys, I would be a shitstorm of depression and self-hate.

My biggest problem is progressing into an adult. I have some disadvantages and ultimately am not at the point I should be considering what my age is. I'm very far behind and find very little support from my parents to actually help me going. They are also at disadvantages as well. Plus my own personal issues so I don't mean to imply it's simply everyone else's fault.

I'm at a mentality where I almost need to be forced to do things or I won't do them. I've always been that way. And it's not really a good thing. Half of it comes from being enabled and the other half comes from confidence issues and fear.

I have trouble expressing myself and people often think I'm insensible and cold, but I just don't know how to express that I care about them

My biggest struggle is not being able to communicate well with people.
This stretches from small talk to asking for help.
I can't talk to people because I usually can't read them well. Say they ask question. To the average person it would be something they can answer even without thinking. For me I have to stop and think what they're even asking of me. And when I figure that out, I can't find a way to reply.
As for asking anything to or of anyone, I can't. My therapist says it's just social anxiety but I think it's a little more.

Mine is telling my family how I feel. Sometimes before I would go nod tell them, they would say "I don't like people who are.." So that just puts me on the spot and makes it harder.

My biggest struggle is trying to figure things out. Like, I don't care about figuring out math problems or science questions, but instead I have a problem with big questions like what is life? Why do I want to live? Will I ever make a difference? And I tend to just brood for hours. Some days I can go without thinking about that, but some days it just comes across my mind and I struggle to answer the questions.

im only 15 so i dont have a huge struggle yet, probably this next year in school ill get one

My biggest struggle is my social anxiety, this probably comes from me being the black sheep of the family.

My biggest struggle is escaping my addiction to pornography. Even though the people I have told about it all agree that it was normal for me to think about such things growing up, but it has hit a point where I need to escape it, and I'm doing my damndest.

>>31 Struggles are no joke, Sodemo. Be glad you have nothing major to worry about so far, but you will overcome all adversity in time.

I've had multiple issues over the past 15 years since I was born. Looking back most were caused by me but to summarize all of them; My parents broke up when I was little, I'd only just started school at the time and no one would talk to me let alone be friends with me... due to this I became an intro-vert and never learnt social skills

Compared to other's problems this is probably small and a lot of people would tell me just to "suck it up and move on." So I live by my favourite saying; "Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow for the heart has no metrics or form of measure and all of it irreplacable." I've had one issue with other people which had nothing to do with who those people were and now at the age of 15 I'm just dragging myself out of it... and I wouldn't change a thing of my damnable past, instead I focus on giving others an escape from their own present.

So now, my biggest struggle is never to forget my past ones and to carry them with me.

I was always top of the class so I guess my biggest struggle in life is to accept failure and let go of my pride. Sometimes I feel like there's so much people expect from me that I try too hard.

Actually, everything I do in life is more or less a struggle. I keep thinking too much about rather unrelevant stuff and I have troubles with concentrating on one thing. I also struggle with self-confidence and hence feel insecure very often. Nothing comes to me through accident or fate, I always have to work hard for the thing I want to achieve. And that's also the only thing I'm good in, I would say: Never giving up.
But it's really exhausting, too.

This probably isn't my biggest struggle but it was the first that came to mind

My brother who is a little older than me hurts himself out of deepression and I'm the one who always tries to help him although he also has a friend who has he told that tries too but nothing really helps he says he's done with it but I'm not sure I just hope so

I'd say the biggest struggle is to just to keep on living. Not giving up and getting back up when you fall down. To keep on dreaming, hoping and having goals to work towards. It'd be so so sooo much easier to just "let go" and not care.. Still, because living is such a hard and scary thing to do, that's why I keep on living.. I think?

I dont know everything about humans

My biggest struggle in life is definitely going through depression and anxiety. It's been especially hard with school just starting and everything, as I'm now constantly surrounded by people which only makes me more anxious. But hey, we all have our own problems and we all gotta make the best of 'em. :)

My biggest struggle is being self conscious, because of this even group discussions among friends give me heart palpitations. Public speaking also screws me up pretty badly.
Furthermore, this is the reason which prevents me from taking the initiative on certain things. I feel as if I'm a level below others, seeing them able to express their ideas and opinions upfront.

My biggest trouble or struggle up until now is choosing my future. I don't know what do to about it as I have no "dreams" whatsoever, so I end up depressed pretty often thanks to this.
