Wanting to be extraordinary is not just the wish of a loser.

I was once a "loser". I was suicidally depressed. I had no sex life and considered myself unnattracitve. I had no money. I used to spend most of my free time using drugs. This was when I was 19 years old - practically the same as you. I loaded a shotgun and put it down my throat and pulled the trigger. It didn't go off.

I started to read self-help and decided to start visualising what I wanted more. I started to take exercise (do this!! it will change your state). It wasn't easy.

I'm now 24. I earned $160,000 last year. I'll earn more this year. I've had 3-4 beautiful girlfriends in the past 3 years, and an active sex life. I even fell in love. People have said I'm 'charming' or have good 'people skills' whereas once I was so shy that I didn't want to go outside.

I feel your pain. But you need to rely on the part of yourself which indicates you're able to accomplish and be more than you are right now.
