So I'm the family's "fat one".
I'm also the family's "gay one".
And last night, I learned that I'm also the family's "failed one".
No kids, no house, no SO, lowest earner...
I thought I had SOMETHING going for me.
I don't.
Quite a kick in the ego, NGL. And not like I had much to begin with...

Been dealing with this for over 30 years at this point. Every now and then, I dip... but then I get back above water. :X
I appreciate the thought, though. <3
Not to my face, anyway.
But I'm absolutely the only LGBT+ person in my generation of the family. And the only geeky one, too.
And I don't own anything in terms of real estate - living "at home" with my disabled mom to support/care for her. So... :S
But still thinking "At least, I got something going they don't"... and realizing that no, I don't have that.
Just another hit on my barely-existing ego.
Edited for briefness.
God, that "all my dreams ended long ago" felt real.
But I also realized that it all boils down to luck, and you can't control that. But you can control what you do, and what makes you happy. For what it's worth.
