I dont know what to do with my life anymore... i have failed at everything my entire life...?

Im 18 years old, i failed at everything i did so far.. and i mean everything..

i have been failing academically since i was in the 2nd grade... and it kept getting worse even after graduating high school and entering university.. the only reason i actually graduated high school was because it was very corrupt and they didnt mind altering a few marks here and there...

no matter how hard i try i always end up disappointed... i try to think positively but that just makes it soo much worse since i end up getting crushed again...

i sucked at absolutely everything except physics... physics was the only subject i actually loved... and was the only subject i actually did well in... wait actually... i got an average mark...

im horrible at tests... im extremely slow and i never finish any of my exams...

i have never ever felt any sense of pride for my achievements...

never had any talents... and have a learning disability...

i majored in physics.. and failed the first semester of university and the uni is considering my options...

i havent told my parents yet...

i feel like a complete failure...

i come from a place with very high standards... im expected to graduate university with outstanding marks which im not...

its stressing me out...

i dont know what to do with my life...

i want to quit and give up... but ill never be able to face any of my family members...

im such a disappointment..

i always thought that maybe i was special.. maybe i was one of those under achievers who end up making it big... like Einstein,,, i thought i would be a famous physicist... but im losing hope, my dreams are getting crushed harder day by day... i dont have girlfriend because of my self esteem.. i cant even make direct eye contact with her... im very quite and shy too...

although ive been told by many of my close friends that i am one of the most intelligent people they have ever met and thats coming from the top student in my former high school...

but im starting to doubt it... the truth is im not special im bellow average.... and my marks prove that...

my siblings all did great... which makes it even worse when im compared to them... i feel left out... ive always been a disappointment to my parents

i just dont know what to do with my life anymore...

is there any hope left? please if anyone could bring up some good logical points?

    I think the best thing for you to do with your tests an exams is study hard to a point were you feel great on the subject and you will feel better about going in and doing it also there's got to be something your good at besides physics work hard on that as well don't give up on your self because when you do then you start going down a bad path

    Just work hard for your self and not for your family and get a grip on life and not let it get the bast of you

    You've gotten through it all and passed physics, I wouldn't call it failing, you fail if you haven't done your best, YOUR best, not anyone elses expectation. DO NOT give up yet, I guess you could say this your last chance at proving yourself, you need to work harder than ever before. And if you don't make uni, you could still be like Einstein, you just need to invent something, no degree can stop you from inventing. Even then if that doesn't work, with your knowledge of physics, you'd make a great electrician.

    Here are some pointers. Wake up, look yourself in the mirror, and stop lying to yourself! Grow up. Stop wasting your time crying and make some changes! Maybe you are like Einstein, but he didn't sit around crying that he failed high school algebra, he challenged himself, now go do the same!

    Relax stop putting yourself down that's most likely half the problem

    Don't give up and don't ever think your siblings are better

    Your parents love you and believe in you don't think they don't

    Your life is not even half over you have to know that

    Good luck;)

    Merry Christmas

    It appears that you are not academic, and that your time has not been well

    spent on advanced studies.

    What you need to do is to discover where your talents and abilities *do* lie,

    instead of trying to study material which does not interest you and for

    which you have little talent.

    Many people like you, who are not strong academically, manage to live

    rewarding lives. They find out what their strengths are and develop

    themselves in those directions.

    You need to take a comprehensive ***aptitude test***!

    It will tell you in what direction to head in order to make a happy life for

    yourself.

    Okay, visit two doctors. One who specializes in learning disabilities like ADHD (I have this) and stuff. Also visit a shrink, not because your insane. Shrinks help you get your feelings out and help you with them. Hope you feel better.
