During most of the last year I have felt similar feelings. In that time I've been left unemployed, left my ex and moved back in with my parents, racked up some debt, lost a few "friends" and some other stuff. I never did very well in school and anything after that (IT qualifications) are practically useless to me because of how different working in those areas were to what I imagined, It's so easy to choose to hide away from everyone but it only ends up with you being on your own feeding yourself images of how you think you are.
It took me a long time to start standing up again and fighting back the negativity but trust me when I say it's the best thing that I've done. I applied for many jobs but I always made a half hearted application because of how I felt about myself, now I've picked myself up somewhat I have started thinking harder about the applications and finally I can see I'm getting more responses then I was before (even happy to see the bad responses as I never got those before), even landing an interview for Monday. A small bit of positivity is potentially getting me kick started into being back within the world (and workplace even though it's a temporary job for the christmas period) on a regular basis.
You don't have to be the most educated to be successful, success isn't about what job you can get or what money you earn but how well you feel about yourself and what you have achieved in the current climate. What other people are doing should be the least of your concerns also, what you see on the outside isn't always how it seems behind closed doors, these so called people getting over "big obstables" may have even bigger obstacles which they don't want others to know about. Chin up and look at what you can do rather then what you think you can't do then you'll realise that you needn't put yourself down so much.
