Polish term

(osoba) niezaradna zyciowo

Polish to English Social Sciences General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
W swoim odczuciu jestem głupią osobą, niewartościową i bardzo niezaradną życiowo. Wszystkiego się boję i od wszystkiego uciekam. Prawie w ogóle nie odczuwam radości, ponieważ w mojej codzienności dominuje lęk, stres i strach, który wszystko inne przyćmiewa. Czuję się przegrana.

a tak mi odpowiedział ChatGPT :-) I'm really sorry to hear that you feel that way about yourself. It's important to remember that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's common for people to struggle with self-doubt at times. However, it's crucial to challenge negative self-perceptions and recognize your own worth.

You are not stupid or worthless. Each person has unique abilities and qualities that make them valuable. It might be helpful to focus on your accomplishments, skills, and positive qualities to counteract these negative thoughts. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and faces challenges in life, and it's through these experiences that we learn and grow.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling with specific areas of your life, it can be beneficial to seek support from friends, family, or even professionals such as therapists or counselors. They can provide guidance and help you develop strategies to overcome difficulties.

It's also important to practice self-compassion and be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with the same understanding and patience that you would show to a friend who is going through a tough time. Remember that you are deserving of love, respect, and happiness.

wrzuciem to zdanie z kontekstu do Google Translate i wyszło "helpless in life" .. bardzo neutralnie .. ;)

Zastanawia mnie jakie czynniki decyduja o klasyfikacji danej cechy,postrzeganiu jej (w tym wypadku niezaradnosci) jesli chodzi o skale negatywna/poytywna/neutralna.
Czy tlumacz ustala swoj "wybor" tylko na podstawie kontekstu czy tez takze na podstawie swojego osobistego "czucia", rozumienia jezyka? Pan Jacek przywoluje deficyt mentalny. Akceptuje ,ze jest to cecha niepożądana, ale czy nie ma ona natury losowej i przez to jest neutralna a nie negatywna ?
Jacek Rogala Jun 24, 2023:
Pełna zgpda z Dariuszem! Poza tym, z całym szacunkiem, ale niezaradość życiowa, zwlaszcza u doroslych, to raczej symptom negatywny; niezaradni zyciowo to osoby z pewnym deficytem mentalnym lub udające niezaradność, czyli cwaniacy, którzy naciągają państwo na finansowanie "niezaradności".
Chyba, że kontekst pytania dotyczy braku umiejętności czerpania (lub ułomności w czerpaniu) z otoczenia wspomagającego "niezaradność".

Robert Adamowicz (asker) Jun 24, 2023:
It only occurred to me after some demeaning this trait answers were posted.
Robert Adamowicz (asker) Jun 24, 2023:
Przepraszam, nie zauwazylem. Dziekuje za wszystkie dotychczasowe propozycje. Przyznam, ze najbardziej jestem zainteresowany tlumaczeniami, ktore nie przedstawiaja niezaradnosci zyciowej jako cechy negatywnej. Bardziej takie neutralne, non-judgmental.
