Original Reddit post

I don’t think I wrote the title correctly but what I’m trying to say is how do I stop feeling intimidated around successful people who are like so confident, smart, and overall well set in their life such as financially secure, solid career or business, socially active and strong. like I guess I’m lacking identity or character that I just seem to be comparing myself towards others as if I have insecurities or low self esteem. like I wish I knew my life purpose so I could have a proper job and a solid education. because most successful people or well set people silently judge you when you don’t have your life together. instead of supporting and giving advice they end up making you feel small and then you feel afraid to ask for advice because you look up to them but I guess their mentality is something else. submitted by /u/Lemonade2250
