Why can't I do anything right?

I for some reason have never been able to do anything right in any way or aspect of my life. I'm 31 years old and I figured I would've gotten it by now. I've been in therapy for a while now and my family says they've noticed some improvement. But, I still can't stop screwing up. I know that everyone screws up sometimes. But for me, it's literally everyday. Some days, it's multiple times. I just want to be someone that nobody is angry with and not always hating themself because they do everything wrong. I sometimes feel like the only way I can fix this about myself is if I just stay out of everyone's way. I enjoy having a life and a family but I'm always unknowingly sabotaging everything.

    Your friends will support you and help you. Get their support because that will make you stronger to help yourself. Now you didn't really state how you're messing up your life and stuff so Ithis make answering this question really hard but I'll give it a go. First of all yes you can do plenty right so you're just lying to yourself and putting yourself down. Tell yourself you can do stuff right aloud since people find that helpful in situations like this. Play some video games. That gets my mind off things and they're quite fun. If you don't game I'll give you a few suggestions. Start off with The Walking Dead by Telltale, if you liked that go onto Dragon Age and Mass Effect, others I can suggest are The Last Of Us, Champions Online, Assassin's Creed, InFamous, Prototype, Black Ops, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Hitman, Deadpool, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet, Shift, NFS Most Wanted (the original) and that's all I can think of. You can also listen to msic. I'm sure there's plenty of songs out there that speak to you. Try Macklemore, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Passener, Shontelle, 50 Cent, Grey Ghost, Adelitas Way, Imagine Dragons, Dropkick Murphys and Robert Delong. Trust me when I say you are exaggerating without knowing. You can do a lot of things right don't worry about it. Another tip, try yoga. That'll probably help big time. Try watching YouTube Videos that may cheer you up. My suggestions, Tobuscus, JacksFilms, Pewdiepie, NigaHiga, Dtoid, ShaneDawsonTV, TeamFourStar, AngryJoeShow, PBGGameplay, JustKiddingFilms, JennaMarbles, TheFineBros, FreddieW, ERB, NicePeter, KassemG, TotallySketch and MaxMoeFoe. Hope I helped somehow. :)

    Well I'll just call you lefty because you just ain't right. Look, you're not the only one that feels like that. This is a messed up world with messed up people and at least you can acknowledge you have issues. You have to get in tune and know yourself before you can even try and understand anyone else.
