Relationship and Self-Worth

Hi I have this problem feeling like I’m not good enough, I’m not pretty enough, and that I’m never gonna be worth anything... I have this issue in my relationship I can’t get over. I’m jealous of my boyfriends girl best friend, and he’s never givin me a reason to not trust him.. I’ve talked to him about it and he understands where I’m coming from... however when we are in groups hanging out he will accidentally call me by her name every time.... he says he doesn’t mean to do it and explains how he’s been her friend for 8 years and he’s only been with me 8 months.... but it still hurts... and sometimes I feel like when we all hang together he has more fun with her... may not be true but I’m not sure anymore.... he says he loves me and doesn’t want to ruin the relationship we have... but I always worry he’ll end up liking her instead and that kills me... ps she’s nice to me all the time, and he said he’s had plenty of opportunities to date her and never did because he only ever saw her as a friend...so is this just all in my head or do I have a reason to worry?

Any advice please?

you are good enough, and have more worth than you may realize sometimes. This sounds like a confusing situation emotionally. I don't have a lot of experience here so my advice might not really apply, but it does sound like they are just friends as long as you feel he is honest with you about his feelings then everything should be okay. that being said, i think its normal for you to worry about something like this and if you have anxiety and or depression it will make these worries even worse, so it’s something you might have to spend some time working through

I understand you pretty well. Anxiety/depression does these things to us. It always makes you doubt yourself.

I see, that you are a beautiful soul, you have an understanding boyfriend, let him be your anchor. Trust him. If he has more fun doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

Don't let this dark cloud affect your happiness. If this situation is still getting on your nerves - find her a boyfriend)) ;)

I hope everything will be ok! I wish you all the best!
