I think part of the reason I've give up so easily, and don't put too much effort into things anymore is because I don't believe in myself anymore. Certain circumstances made fall quarter difficult to pass, and winter I got sick. Now I have no excuse, but I just feel like such a failure based on my performance here so far. In fact, it seems to have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because I don't believe in myself, I feel burnt out, and when I encounter something difficult, I just give up. I assume it's beyond my abilities. I really wish someone would believe in me. Someone would stand there and say, "Danny, I know you, and I know you can do this." I need someone who will listen to me bitch, and instead of making me feel like an idiot, or saying "Jeez, I could never do that kinda thing", tell me that it's really not as hard as I make it out to be, and that I'm perfectly capable of tackling such a problem with just a little support.
I don't have anyone to impress anymore. I used to love taking home my grades every day to my parents, or to Cambia. Now I have no one who will look at all the effort I put into something and say, "Wow, good job!" I need someone to just stand there, look me in the eyes, and say 'I believe in you'.
