Why am I not successful?

Question

I try, and I try, and I try. Nothing gets me nowhere. It does not matter what I do. I always fall short of accomplishing (quite literally) ANYTHING. I put a lot of thought into what I want to accomplish, but I get little to absolutely nothing in return for my efforts. These are but a few things compared to others. Any advice can help.

When I am at work, I see others talking for a long period of time and yet still manage to make top performance. I keep to myself and focus on my job, getting it done the best way I can, and my production numbers fall beneath those other top performers mentioned before.

I create YouTube videos to make people react and laugh. I created pages for people to Like/Follow me in hopes of building my audience. Many hours of production and money put into the videos, only to get maybe a few views and maybe 1 subscriber every once in a while.

I play an online game with others, with the concept to survive in game. I am always the one taken down easily. Or in a gameplay tournament I always rank in the top 33% that fall short of advancing, instead of the top 10 to 20% of winners that do.

I cannot even find a relationship with someone. I introduce myself, and they just instinctively know to stay away when all I want is a friend. I cant even have a friend. Sad.

I appreciate your zeal for trying to become successful. Your brain is large and lonely, and will work for you if you give it a chance. There is a technique called, Power-of-Suggestion, where you give your brain instructions and commands to try and improve your tasks. When I was an university student, I took Organic Chemistry in Summer school that required 3-hour classes three-times a week and three-hour laboratory on early Saturday mornings. I gave commands to my brain a few times a day to awake me at 6 AM on Saturday morning during Summer school to attend class. I would say aloud, "brain, my friend, please awake me at 6 AM each Saturday morning for 9 weeks." I would repeat this command a few times a day. I made three attempts on a Friday night, and my brain awoke me at 5:59 AM each Saturday morning. It takes a little practice, but it is worth a try. Choose some task that is easy in the beginning to test your brain. Another example, I ordered my brain to seal all noise while I was trying to fall asleep. I lay awake thinking of the most solid object I knew like a door knob, but chose a bowling ball. I kept the bowling-ball image in my mind's eye as I tried to become sleepy. Whenever a thought tried to go around or under the bowling ball, I concentrated my thoughts that repelled the attending thoughts. After 15 minutes of pure concentration, my brain became tired and I began to fall asleep. I am not African-American, but I used the phrase that Rev. Jessie Jackson used with Black youths, " I am somebody, I am somebody."

Good Luck with whatever tasks you try to make yourself somebody. Steal any ideas you see illustrated by smart people and use for your own skill.

Don't put yourself down so much. I'm sure you are an amazing person inside and out. You just haven't met the right friends or romantic partner yet. Also, the gaming, YouTube, and your job are all small parts of your life. I feel the same that I'm not really good at much but there is always something to improve on or be good at. There is always going to be rejection and sometimes lots of it. Focus on you, not on others, and you will find happiness within yourself.
