Maybe this can help me...
I may need guidance.
Ok- I am middle aged. (8/19/1968)
Married, 3 kids, house, regular kind of life I suppose.
The problem is not in my home life though. I am having trouble professionally.
I grew up smart, fast and independent. Never had any 'real' friend type things.
I was cocky, confident (to the point of arrogant) and very good at everything I did. I was constantly bombarded with praise and opportunities.
Of course, I'm older now.
Why is it that now that I am older and not the king of the world can I not find 'anything' that will sustain me? And why can I not see that the 'real' world is not what I think it is?
Why am I unable to understand anyone at all?
Lastly, why am I unable to build lasting friendships?
