Have you ever seen the Middle? It's a lovely hilarious show about a family in the lower middle class working through the reality's of life. Frankie and Mike have three children; Axle, Sue, and Brick. The only one we need to look at, this time, is Sue. Sue is the middle child who is looking for attention and a future any way she possibly can, with an annoyingly bright personality. She's perky and oblivious, which makes her a happy fool. Her walls are plastered in inspirational quotes, and her determination drives her to constantly do new things. Regardless of the admirable traits she possesses, she has some problems you can't help but find depressing. Stress about the future, being forgotten in her family, and not being good at practically anything, and therefore trying everything.

However, there are two things to take into consideration. You only like certain things. You've liked the same things for years regardless of how many other things you've tried and you cant see yourself doing anything else. You never get challenged in the things that you are best at because no one lets you. You are at the mercy of your peers.
The second difference is that Sue Heck is an exaggeration. She is a fake character played by the actress Eden Sher. Everything that Sue Heck is is a scripted dialogue brought to life by payed professionals. Regardless of the fact that she is fictional you can still compare people to her, including yourself. Sometimes you know that you are her at times, and then you see that you are her all the time.
When you self reflect and realize just how annoying you've been/are you begin to wonder if you should even bother with the things you love. You're never going to get better. Nobody notices you. Your efforts seem useless. Even if you bleed for the things you like, they'll never accept you. So you push. You dig in deeper and look at other ways you can help the thing you love, but you realize you just don't enjoy doing them. Regardless of your other sets of talents (if any) you hate every other career path. You obsess over the elitist society that would allow you the life you want to have, but it just wont happen. So what do you do?
You sit at home and practice and change who you are to be with them. Researching interests and Facebook pages until your eyes go numb, attempting to talk to them only to be ridiculed about your thick attempt(s) to associate with the mighty gods of your teen age mental system. You realize determination, is failing, and try again pushing harder every time, only to run short of breath, and you begin to realize, you're nothing.
