my life doesn’t matter

[honeynectar]

Not sure if I can say anything to make you feel better about yourself... like they say happiness is an inside job. But, I’d like to tell you... you matter in this world and never measure yourself by likes on social media. People use filters and promote lives that they want others to think are perfect ❤️

Oh, honeynectar, your life does matter. But I definitely understand how you feel. I have no friends right now due to my social phobia. It makes you feel very very alone.

Try to find something good to get into like volunteering in your community. Right now, things are a little weird. But if you can put yourself into a community service that makes you feel good about what you're doing, you'll meet others with whom you can easily relate to & as you bond with them, they will begin to Blossom into your support group.

I am married almost 30 years now & just recently found out that my husband wants to leave me because my mental state over the last few years has driven him to depression. He's always been stronger than me. I feel terrible about it but I am taking major leaps to try to help him get back to his normal lighthearted self but I'm afraid that it might take a long time to fix him. It's terrible to be told by your family or friends that you have driven them to depression or even worse, suicidality. Keep your chin up!!!

Sorry u are feeling like that. I don't think u are ugly maybe u are too hard on urself. Are you not a perfectionist? I have a sister who is a perfectionist, sometimes she sees things about herself which I don't see. I also know a lot about people personalities and can tell of it as I get to know them and believe me, perfectionists are hard on themselves and critical of themselves and others and everything. Do you know that many people have acnes under their make up? U can do that bcz acnes tend to take away confidence bcz u think everyone is paying attention to the acnes. You can also find friends here as well.

I'm sorry that you are feeling so low atm and glad that you are here to get some support and encouragement. That's exactly why we are all here together. I agree with pp that the biggest lie is believing that what you see on social media is reality. Every person and organization uses social media as a way of projecting the best possible image which is why we can't compare our real life with what we see there.

This is super hard but sometimes we need to take a break from social media when we find that it is affecting us negatively. Find something else to do with your mind and your time that will have a positive result for you. This is different for every person so what could you choose to do that would be positive for you?
