Though it would make sense, don't tie this into my last comment.
Ever feel like a lot of stuff is just..well futile?
U try to do something but secretly u know there's nothing u can really do to 'help.' and you feel awkward as hell and frustrated, you feel stupid and 'insufficient.' Like there's a solution that's hiding in the shadows, if you'd only look hard enough you'd make everything better. It makes it that much worse when you reach into the shadows and come up emptyhanded. There's no 'pause' button in real-life, let alone a rewind so what you dont' figure out on the spot just doesn't get figured out. "Help?" How can I, as much as I might say it- i'm not omnipotent, nobody is. And as arrogant as it sounds, it sux. One feels, and by one i mean I, that he or she SHOULD fix everything. If one is asked to help, one must help-and must solve the problem. Otherwise you'll let them down, you'll fail. (i know i'm jumping around from I to one to you. but 1st person is arrogant. 2nd person is accusatory and 3rd is impersonal)
I guess the biggest problem is that we're not accustomed to failing(we now) or at least we won't let ourselves fail. And as a result when we do, it's that much worse. If you expect to succeed and fail - the failure is that much worse. Now, it's obviously not a solution to just "expect failure" (I have low expectations so I can't get dissapointed! or even better, whatever life doesn't mean anything so fuck it)
