i am dissapointed in myself as a person

You should be, you suck 😉

To be fair, I think everyone is a bit disappointed in themselves. I know I am. I am capable of great things, but I lack the motivation and drive to make them a reality. That pattern has repeated itself multiple times in my life. For example"

1) I had a legit shot at playing pro baseball (threw 90+ MPH as a sophomore in highschool) but lacked the drive to work out and was severely injured as a result )(snapped post medial epicondle tendon in right elbow = bye bye career).

2) I went to college and got a degree in chemistry. Because I wussed out of grad school (I "took some time off") I effectively denied myself access to jobs allowing my to enjoy one of my true passions.

3) After my first year in a top tier law school I was number 16 in my class. After that year, i subsequently decided that "it wasn't worth the effort" and I am now barely in the top 25% of my class. To be fair, I almost quit law school, so sticking it out for another three years was a big achievement for me

4) I tell myself 2-3 times a week that I need to start working out, but I never do. If I start, I end up quitting in a few months because it is "too much work," even if I have made substantial progress. Last time I worked out hard I lost 20lbs in a month and a half. I've now found everyone of those pounds.

5) I currently work in a law firm doing patent prosecution. Although the work is interesting and challengin, I have absolutely no drive to become partner. In fact, i have already decided that I am going to retire from practicing law within 5-10 years, get a teaching certificate, and go teach high school chemistry. We'll see if it happens though.

Man, I am depressed now. Sorry to hijack your thread.

Get some exercise. Walk along the road, picking up trash. You'll feel better emotionally and physically. Of course then you'll be disappointed in everyone else.

that is all.
