>>6988109I just got my financial aid suspended at the community college I started attending in order to get my grades back up to get back into the public university I had to leave because I failed too many classes after getting almost a full ride despite having mediocre HS grades (135 IQ, nothing special but high enough that other people think I'm smart, plus I just test super well). Despite being somewhat funny and fairly agreeable and empathetic by nature, my massive alienation complex and paranoia coupled with social anxiety meant that I have made exactly one decent friendship since highschool ended and subconsciously isolate myself from the 6 friends who actually like me enough to still be around me half the time.
But do I go around feeling sorry for myself? Absolutely, but clearly I'm the perfect example of what not to do. Get out of this despair loop, do whatever works best for you to brainstorm exactly what you did wrong, exactly what effects it will have, and how you can move forward. But identifying degenerate behavior patterns is only the first step, you need to be willing to identify and execute a solution. Seems like you caught whatever problem early, so you've already got a big advantage, the behavioral loop can't be too deep. Grab your problem by the balls before it grabs yours.
And on actually telling your parents, don't bother thinking of a way to tell them that won't psych you out, because there isn't one. But the longer you wait, the more mad they're likely to be. Believe me, the worst part about this kind of thing is admitting you fucked up to the people who you lied to about not fucking up before, and the longer you wait the longer you're effectively lying to them.
>>6988138This. Most parents can't even start to resent their kids until 25+ years of fuck ups. You made one mistake, they might be super fucking mad but they're your parents and they love you. They want you to be successful and happy.
