Being a Realist Is Not the Same as Putting Yourself Down

Hi everyone, today I would like to talk about something that really bugs me, which is people saying that I put myself down all the time... I do not put myself down all the time, I am just being realistic! It really irritates me when people say that I put myself down because I wish they could see it from my perspective, I can't see myself putting my abilities into practice in a job and workplace.

This is not me putting myself down, I'm just scared that I will have nothing to do with my life, and I don't want to be sat at home doing sweet FA. I do want to work, but I don't know how because I can't do as much as an able-bodied person, therefore I don't think people will employ me if another person which applies for that same job can do double (or more) the amount of work in the same time frame.

I don't know what job I can do... Alright, yes, there are probably accessible jobs out there that I could do, but what? This is the problem, people say things like "do what makes you happy" and "you can work", but they haven't looked deeper. Think of it as a huge mountain and you're at the bottom of it looking up, but you can't see the top, then you start climbing, but just when you think the top is in sight, the mountain seems to grow from every direction, and you fall few feet... This is what thinking about employment is like for me.

So, I really do appreciate your support, but please do not tell me that I'm putting myself down, because I'm not. Being a realist is not the same as putting yourself down.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time.

Bye for now.
