How do I forgive myself?

Look, I’ve never gone out of my way to insult anyone—not even that one guy I can't stand. I don't wish bad luck on anyone. Deep down, I’m a believer, but I just can't seem to find my way back to church. It's hard when this constant, gnawing anger just won't let up. To make matters worse, I spent four years in a classroom environment that was basically a pressure cooker, and now I can't help but feel like the whole world operates that way. It makes me want to close myself off from everyone. I'm just disappointed in people, plain and simple. I've become "cold" toward others, and let's be real, that isn't the true ME.
Whoever came up with that cliché deserves to be taken out. When I went to my 10-year reunion a few years ago, almost nobody was "the same," not even on the surface. That whole idea is nonsense. Just relax. Try going out with some people from your college or pick up a hobby where you'll be surrounded by a new crowd. Personally, I’d suggest martial arts to build up some confidence, or maybe even dance classes (you'll meet tons of women, and you'll be one of the few guys there). Cheer up, man—life is beautiful when you've got enough cash for a Budweiser.👍
