In today's era, there's a lot of stuff in the internet that could get you questioning your entire existence leading you to self-doubt and insecurities. I have a friend, his name is Tom and I am his personal friend. I would like to share his story to all of you.
Tom is currently 14 years old. He likes to surf the internet thus leading him to understand things much quicker and made him question his upcoming future too much. He spents most of his day questioning who he would like to become, what he wants to become and most of all, if he could have a good future. He also thinks that he overthinks too much. Everytime he walks out in public he would feel like everyone is stealing glances at him. He was anxious of his looks or whether he is out of the ordinary. Due to a lot of good looking and talented peers becoming viral in the internet, he was insecure of his own talents. Back at home, he would always think of how to improve his own talents and what talents does he even want to start with.
Tom wants to be popular, like an idol or a celebrity. But he knew that it would never come true. He is a reticent person and is afraid of speaking out his dreams. He felt like he would only be looked down upon. Tom always question himself, thinking if he's overthinking stuff and if he was already quite mature. He envies his friends that all looks like they're free of such thoughts. There is also a heavy feeling in his chest that he can't explain. It isn't an illness or something but more of a psychological problem (I think). Please help Tom be clear of such problems.
