[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are much too hard on yourself.

It is indeed rare that writers have overnight success.
I think it’s commendable that you even got as far as you did by getting something published‼️

I also think that you are letting the success of others impact your own self-esteem.
A lot of people compare how their lives turned out to others which if you do this - then it is only a matter of time before you will feel like a failure.
Because comparison in life definitely robs one of joy &gt; bar none.

Also, could you also be suffering from depression?
I only bring this up because you sound like you are in a very bad place emotionally & feel that depression could be a factor for that.

I think it would be a good idea (regardless of depression) to seek out a counselor who you can talk to about these negative feelings.
Because if you continue to believe that you are a failure - then your quality of life will always be very poor.

Wish you the best in your future endeavors OP![/quote]
