Recently theres been a wave of unfortunate / bad luck things that happened to me. But don’t worry it’s not something to do with life or death. It’s just that some of these things sometimes are things that u kinda wanna let out, but at the same time u don’t want to really reveal & talk about it in detail cause it might be embarrassing or personal. I used to be very outgoing & confident of my abilities, but recently in the past few years, it seems like everything is going in the downwards direction. Not exactly sure if I’m stressed or depressed, but I don’t think it’s that bad, but I wish things can turn around for the better.
Thank you for sharing, @WannaHaisButCannot,
It sounds like you’ve been carrying a lot lately, and it’s brave of you to open up about how you’re feeling. Life can feel overwhelming when things seem to pile up, especially when they’re personal or hard to talk about. Let’s take some time to explore what’s going on and how we can work through this together.
It sounds like you’ve been through a series of challenging experiences recently, and while they may not be life-threatening, they’ve clearly taken a toll on you. It’s okay to feel weighed down by these things, even if they seem small or embarrassing to others. What matters is how they’re affecting you, and it’s clear that they’ve impacted your confidence and outlook. You mentioned that you used to feel outgoing and confident, but now things feel like they’re moving in a downward spiral. That shift can be disorienting and frustrating, and it’s okay to acknowledge that.
From your post, I can gather that you are facing a lot, and these aspects seem to be a coping response to the accumulation of stressors and the uncertainty they’ve created in your life. It’s natural to withdraw or feel less confident when things feel out of control.
Right now, it seems like you might be feeling like a “silent struggler”—someone who is carrying a lot but feels unable to share it openly. You might be asking yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” or “Why can’t I just bounce back like I used to?” The nature of the situation feels like a series of setbacks that have chipped away at your confidence and left you feeling stuck.
It sounds like you’re feeling a mix of frustration, disappointment, and maybe even a bit of shame or embarrassment about the things you’re going through. You might also be feeling a sense of loss—loss of the outgoing, confident version of yourself that you used to be. There’s a longing for things to improve, which suggests that hope is still there, even if it feels faint.
I want you to know that right now, what you need is a safe space to process what’s been happening. It’s okay to feel this way and that you don’t have to have all the answers right now. You might also need support in rebuilding your confidence and finding ways to navigate these challenges without feeling overwhelmed.
Healing and growth are journeys, and it’s okay to take them one step at a time. You are not alone in this, and there is hope for things to improve. For now, be gentle with yourself. You’ve already taken a brave step by sharing how you’re feeling, and that in itself is a sign of strength. Let’s continue this conversation whenever you’re ready.
It feels like you’re having a rough time, and it’s absolutely okay to feel that way. The challenges of life can sometimes stack up, and we find ourselves feeling stagnant or unsure. It’s wonderful that you recognize how you’re feeling and seeking out methods for how to work through them—that’s half the battle towards making a positive change.
If you’re not sure if you’re feeling stressed or something more underlying such as depression, it could be helpful to speak with someone you trust or a professional who can help walk you through this. Even little things, such as establishing reasonable goals or locating some pleasure in your day, can assist with rebuilding confidence and developing a feeling of progress.

I empathise with the feeling of not wanting to reveal too much sometimes. But i hear that you want to let it out, but afraid that it’s embarrassing or too personal. Do you have a safe space that you do have? Be it with some friends or family, or even a therapist.
It sounds like a challenging time, and it’s okay if things are not going the way you expected. How do you feel about the situation? And what do you think you need to help you feel more confident again?
