There is an idiom: “A man is known by the company he keeps”

This is really the case in every social situation from school to workplace. What I’m really trying to say is that being upset about your weaknesses and shortcomings day in and day out actually means nothing. That stuff just inadvertently digs a deeper hole for burying all of your dreams, your passions, and even your future. In fact, our life won’t wait too long for anyone to wake up, so if a man just keeps spending a whole day in torment about his mistakes or failures, he will certainly continue to fail.

In order to get yourself out of that muddy hole, it is of great importance to try to be friendly and nice to someone who is better than you. Unfortunately, the sufferers of this phenomenon often only play with each other because they think they are not alone with those messy feelings in their head.
Chances are, you should embark on a conversation with people that give you “peer pressure” so as to learn and experience. I firmly believe that the best lessons are the ones we learn from our own failures. To this end, talking with your “superior” friends might be a good choice to be considered. Somehow throughout their stories and experiences, I believe that you can find out the appropriate lessons for your journey.
