Ever wish you could just be honest with people without being an ass for saying what's on your mind? Yeah, all the time.
I wish people would understand I'm not trying to hurt them or piss them off, I just have a tendency to say things wrong and over commit to trying to solve other people's problems that aren't my responsibility to solve.
You don't like that your fiancé doesn't spend time with you:
Talk to him. If things don't change now and he's not willing to listen or compromise now, probably not a good idea to get married... Commitment takes compromise and the willingness to actively make changes to oneself and sacrifice to make the relationship work. Marriage is commitment. It's forever, not for now. Don't marry unless you're ready, not just because you've reached a certain age and all your friends on Facebook keep posting their wedding and engagement photos.
You can't afford to live on your own:
Stop frivolously spending your money on junk. And I mean JUNK. Trying to fill a void in your life with material things isn't healthy and won't make you feel better about yourself. Stop making bad financial decisions. Learn to live below your means. Sacrifice. Being financially independent will make you feel better than any thing you can afford now,
You have a sucky job:
Update your resume, go on interviews, don't turn down a job just because it seems like a challenge or it's not your dream job. A lot of successful, happy people found their dream job by accident. Most of them didn't get it by just sitting around complaining. Jobs don't just fall into your lap, they're found when you work hard enough, put in your dues, and prove yourself.
You're overweight, out of shape:
Love who you are no matter what size you are. Actively attempt to make good, healthy decisions. Eat fruits and vegetables, even if you hate them. Eat to sustain yourself, not make yourself happy or because you're bored. Force yourself to take the stairs, park further away from the entrance, do 10 jumping jacks before bed. Anything. Prove to yourself that you're worth more than the label on your jeans:
Stand in front of a mirror.
Touch every stretch mark.
Point out every fault.
Cry.
Pity yourself.
Then look yourself straight in the eyes and tell yourself you love you, you accept you for the way you are and you'll accept nothing less than respect, love and sacrifice from others because You. Are. Enough.
