A lot of things have changed since the last time I posted here.
I am no longer the same person I was.
Currently, I have been posted to SCS... quite surprising considering my attitude and what I've done for the past 2 months .
During BMT, they made us do reflections on our BMT lives, I dreaded it. I never expected I'd do one out of my own will now:
My CSM taught me a lesson in week 1 of BMT. Trust, being soft, was no way to go. We had to be forceful to get things done. "If I could, I would walk over to the next person I see and piss all over him."
I am no longer the same person I was as compared to 2 months ago. The cocky, self confident Ben is no longer. Sadly, the tendency to piss people off hasn't gone away. In the midst of BMT, I began to doubt myself, question myself. I began to wonder why I was here, what I was doing and so on and so forth.
Since week 3, I began to do retrospections on my life so far. Being the buddy of a national triathlete has made me realise how unfit I am. 10.15 for 2.4 vs his 7.57. Also, the pain in my left arm(think I might have injured it) during chin ups has forced me to do under-graft method instead. I looked at my driver/storeman/medic friends, there was a longing. Do I want to slack? I think I do.
During one of the the interview sessions, I was asked "why do you want to be a leader". I honestly have no idea. For a slacker future? For fun? Because I wanted to? Bragging rights? Peer pressure? Balls. I have no freaking idea. (Some)People expect me to be a leader. The pressure has caused me to wonder, do I want to be a leader? Or do I want to please/ answer to the people around me.
I'm lost, and I don't know what I do. Escaping is not the way to go. Time to face up to reality. I owe her an answer. I owe myself answers.
*Edit*
I think its the stress. And nagging.
*Edit 2*
Yup, lost confidence in myself
