I dont know why I feel like quiting. I am pish at boxing. Iv been bullied in the past it gets to you. I just cant box for some reason its not possible to be this **** lol. I put my hands up to you guys who box amateur or professional. I love the training but im just a **** fighter I get really demotivated when I watch boxers in my gym they are fighting winning medals and they box so natural I am 23 years old I should have began at a younger but I had no one to push me I want to be able to stand up for myself I feel like no one takes me serious. Sorry if im babbling in the past I was really bullied to the point I was nearly suicidal no joke. My ipod which costed 300 quid was stolen and my phone was stolen by the same guy I had no guts to fight Sorry guys Im like a tape on and on. I feel like i can talk to you guys if you feel this is a rubbish post I will remove it I dont want to break any rules
Maybe, work on getting in shape first ( if youre not). Set up a daily run and challenge yourself. You don't have to spar right away... in my gym most people wont stay for sparring, and when they do its at least after 4-6 monthes of just classes. Another suggestion, find someone in your gym who wont beat you up too bad, but will allow you to work so tk speak.
I was training 3-4 months then stopped due to injury tendonittis been back week I had the worst sparring session I could not throw a punch it may sound silly sometimes in my head those guys that bullied me I can still picture them. I get negative thoughts of how I let them bully me it was my fault everyone told to stand up for myself I was scared I was 14-15 years old and I chickened out.
I was sparring they were going light but some reason I could not box. I love boxing I do this self defence I also wanted to compete but im a joke lol I would get destroyed
I really feel like a loser nothing has been going good. I have a part time job delivery driver. i have no qulifications. I have members of family doing well earning good money good jobs. I am 23 done nothing in life lol. Thank you for the words of encouragement
Everyone sucks and gets beat up for a good number of months before they begin to build up some level of skill. Don't let that get you down. Seriously, everyone goes through a humbling phase for the first several months. We had a guy in our gym start at like age 45 or 46. He gets his ass kicked by everyone every time. He had his first fight a few months ago, and got a tko, over a younger, but evenly matched opponent. Don't let the fact that everyone's better than you in your gym, cuz we all went through it. This year, I just incurred more losses on my record than wins, and i'm reaching 40. But the love of the sport, and what it's done for my life and my confidence is worth everything. Even if you never compete, if you enjoy it, and enjoy learning - then keep doing it. It's never really about the trophies anyway.
You sound depressed mate. Find something that brings you enjoyment. Don't look backwards or forwards too much, you'll just feel down or anxious. Focus on the moment, on the things you can control. Don't compare yourself to others, just focus on doing positive things for yourself. Maybe find a team sport to play, that social group can make all the difference in the world. Life isn't that serious pal, have some fun. Achievements are overrated, enjoy the journey.
So change things. Get qualifications. Aim to earn more. Easy to say, but take action. Feeling sorry for yourself will get you nowhere.
Thank you I do activities like boxing or gym to get out and forget depression sometimes it is there waiting lol. I will look on the future forget the past Thank you
Thank you, You are right feeling sorry will get me no where I had a bad day yesterday feeling better today
