She had slept with another dude, therefore we broke up and are just friends. Not to mention she had slept with 16 dudes before me and is only 20, I am 23. - My boss gives me a force resignation. I move home an now work as a night auditor at a hotel. -I am going back to school in the spring and getting into GIS (Geographic Information Systems). -My family considers me the never do well of the family and use destructive criticism against me. I am the only one confident of my future success. So why am I looked down upon?

1. man it doesn't seem to be your fault. you're just on a bad streak. hopefully things will look up for you. the job, the next girl, and that kind of stuff. just remember that you have worth in God's eyes and that he died for you.
2. you shouldent you should be the best in your familly some people would kill for that kind of life wow your faimly is dumb for saying that
3. forgive them for being dumb but screw them. if your going to be successful, then don't let them hold you back
4. YOU ARE NOT BEING LOOKED DOWN, I ASSURE YOU! Your parent just have high expectation and your gf betrayal is simply her character of being unfaithful. You still work despite being terminated and your going back to school shows you're very learned. No one can look down on you except urself!
5. they just don't appreciate how far you've come and honestly you shouldn't care what people think of you be happy with who you are. and Your ex is just not worth your time. hope i helped
6. First off, you are doing fine for yourself. Most of this country doesn't even make it as far as graduating college, so props to you for that. Second, tell that 'girl' that cheated on you to kiss your ass. I wouldn't even be friends with her if she cheated on me. Third, good move getting back into school and furthering your education. That's a nice way to set yourself up for future employment opportunities. Fourth, screw what your family thinks about your jobs and successfulness. As long as you're supporting yourself, you are doing fine. I think you're mostly bummed out about the girl cheating on you and your family downing your achievements....Just keep working on yourself and making your life the best you can make it, and in due time, the women thing should take care of itself. (As far as family goes, if they don't want to support you, there's nothing you can do about it....just make sure they aren't all in your face when you do hit the big time and things are going well in your life. (Same principle applies to the women as well. LOL)
7. I wonder if you are a gentle soul who is kind to others, but not so good at being kind to yourself? You have nothing to be ashamed of you have made the effort to study and to work, which many people avoid, so you show good character by doing that. Dr Phil says "you teach people how to treat you". Could you have invited criticism or attack by being too 'nice' to people who weren't nice to you? (That was me until my 30's.) Some families pick on and belittle us because they get away with it. I've had this problem - now I leave the room if talk gets negative, or tell them directly not to talk unless they have something nice to say. Don't put up with it. Stop calling or visiting until they realise they have to treat you better, still remain polite. (Some parents/ siblings get jealous because they've done nothing they're proud of.) If you have let others be mean or bully you, that might be why it just goes on; let them know by changing your behaviour, that it's not acceptable. It may be uncomfortable, but you are worth it! Sadly, you chose a girl who was not a good match for any guy wanting a stable relationship. It was nothing personal against you. She has problems that cause her to sleep around a lot; not the behaviour of a heatlhy young lady. The sad part is not seeing the warnings as you got to know her. You didn''t protect yourself from being hurt by her, by choosing a better person, with good values. You will get stronger as you see little things you can do tha make you proud of yourself, as you stand up for YOU. You could read books, get counselling, find wise advisors and select more positive people to be around. All the best! You are going to make it!
