Many of the ideas and frustrations we have, like "I must be successful", "Why don't people like me, they are supposed to like me, what's wrong with me", "I have a right to X,Y or Z ,it's so unfair" to "This world is fucked, it's not supposed to be like this" are just ideas and social pressures that we have been thought by our culture, whether it's mainstream culture or our own subculture or the counterculture in general.
REBT? It seems much more healthy and rational to think, "I perfer to be successful, but I can probably still be happy otherwise", "I would perfer that these people enjoy my company, but if they don't, I'm sure I can find others who will", etc.

Exactly man, what people think of me no longer matters to me. I found my heart again as deep as it was burried in darkness and despair it was still there. That gave me so much joy I went insane again. LOL

If I'm not mistaken, this would belong in the 'Physical and Mental Well- Being' forum. Sorry you are ill though...don't intend to seem rejecting, but these forums are largely for hobby, recreation and virtual sociality. Not to say that learning or healing can't occur through this medium, but one really shouldn't put any expectations on them for that. Still, the other forum would be more to your point.

To be honest, I'm not sure, at all, what you are saying. Yes, you're right when you say I feel broken (empty is a good word). I'm not going to elaborate on what I am going through unless you wish to do so privately. I know my life is not bad, I'm just in a rough spot, a place I haven't been in before or at least with no similarity to anything else I know.
I think, though, you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I'm not terribly worried about success or people liking me. If those things happen, great, if not, then alright too. Additionally, I didn't say I was having a nervous breakdown. I know my situation stems from uncertainty. I'm not worried about fitting into society's ideas or ideals. But I'm not willing to become someone else to make it easier on myself. This isn't saying I'm not willing to change, because I feel something is about to happen if I don't; I feel like I'm on my way to breaking down, and yes, this is because of everything else around me and that always has been around me.
I'm not at peace, but I want to be.
This is not a well forumlated thought, so I hope it makes some sense, and please, come back at me, maybe we can understand each other's meanings better.
