Useless

I have never thought to myself I'm useless tho - I go into a task or whatever with a positive attitude, plan everything out, research things I'm not so sure about...yet everything seems to go wrong anyway and I never seem to learn anything from it. Its like I don't have the capacity to remember anything at all - I mean for exampple every morning since I started my job (going on three months now) i have to send out some excel reports to several people within the company (we're talking like 4-6 people) - to this day I cannont remember which people I send things to and I have to look at the list I drew up. This can't be normal can it? When I tell anyone about it they say I'm making excuses and being lazy...but thats so far from the truth...I just want to be able to do my job properly and I can't because I can't learn anything and I can't remember things.

Exactly. Everyone makes mistakes and few people are good at something straight off - we have to work at it. That may be work, relationships, hobbies. You need to accept your shortcomings then you can analyse them and find out why you're going wrong.

Getting something right first time is dull - the real satisfaction in life comes from achieving something you initially felt was difficult or impossible.

For me, at the moment, it's flying a light aircraft. I know I'm not a natural born pilot and I've made some seriously foolish errors even early in my training but when I get something right, the feeling is incredible. I know that while I'll never fly a fighter jet or a 747, with enough work I'll be able to fly a small aircraft on my own, across the channel to France without dying or even getting lost!

It sounds to me like you're having concentration problems (difficulties having a conversation, short term memory, etc). Perhaps it's your diet, too much (or too little :p) caffeine, eating poor quality foods, drinking too much?

Low self esteem is a vicious cycle which you must break yourself out of.
 
I'm guessing you have something on your mind. Something is clouding your thoughts and mind throughout the day and you are getting sidetracked in thought. Do you get much sleep? I would think not.

It sounds like you are trying, and if your trying your best, then there is nothing else you can do. It might not be as good as others, but it's your best, and that is what matters.

You ever thought of taking up a hobby? I recently started painting, its very rewarding and most relaxing.

I have a hobby - computers and world of warcraft hehe, I do bike riding too. As for self esteem - I've always suffered from low self esteem, I was bullied at school quite a lot and my parents haven't exactly helped...plus I suffer from a rare kidney problem which means I have to take x number of drugs at certain points just to keep it under control. I've nearly died 3 times now from it...

not looking good really is it? :(
 
Why not have a look through these to see if anything jumps out at you:

http://www.waterstones.com/watersto...do?ctx=1000010021201443070841176&searchType=7

You can get similar in text but it's usually better when the message is spoken to you. I only linked to Waterstones since I think that shop named after a south-american rainforest might be viewed as a competitor due to the other products it stocks. It would be the better place to look though since it is has a better selection and is considerably cheaper.

I was bullied in high school

My "Best friends" decided to say that I wasn't cool enough to hang out with them the day my mother went into hospital and nearly died.

I have great self esteem, because I see them now and think:

"God, I was friends with those ****wits? glad I got out then and did something with my life - they haven't changed one bit"

No one changes life but you, grab it by the horns and shake it - being miserable and saying it all goes wrong and doesn't work at the only chance at living is a bit sucky.

TwistedFaith, you sound just like ya average awkward young fella that hasn't quite found his niche yet. Avoid situations were you can hurt yourself or others, but continue to experience as much as life can throw at you, and I guarantee mate, you will find your niche one day.
 
I also don't seem to be able to learn anything new at all - my last boss (before he fired me) said he'd noticed that I would learn something and then not progress, or just forget what I had learned - despite how much effort I put into learning new things and trying to do the job properly.

I can't even listen to people talkng properly! I often get a light headed sensation when people are talking and I completley forget everything they have told me and don't understand a word they're saying.

Sounds like it could be head cancer. J/K. But what's with the light-headedness? Are you getting enough sleep?
