It just feels like my life is like Groundhog Day, you know? If I do 
something well, nobody comes up to me and says "Hey Andrew, you did that 
really well." If I have a bad day, nobody comes up to me and says "Don't 
worry Andrew, it'll be better next time." Basically no matter what I do, 
the outcome is always the same: nobody comes up to me and says anything.

You say I should have more confidence in my abilities, but when nobody 
ever tells you you've done something well, you start to wonder whether 
you really have, or whether you're just overestimating your achievements.

It's just really hard to find motivation when no matter what, whether 
you did really well or really badly, the outcome is always exactly the 
same. You start to wonder why you're bothering...
