Lost

[Ugggghhhhhh]

I hate myself. I absolutely loath myself. I feel like I’m not and will never be good enough for anyone. There’s literally nothing special or exciting about me. Literally everything about me is below average. What’s the point of life

I assume that you struggle with depression? If so, you probably already know that because of the negativity bias of the disease we often only see the worst. Its tough to have an objective unbiased opinion of yourself when there is a filter in your brain that only allows in negativity. You are absolutely a valued human being and have alot to offer the world. If you are willing, it may benefit you to get into a daily practice of doing positive affirmations. I will say a prayer for you. God bless you!

Hi Ug sounds like your having a bad one . Just remember we are all one of a kind including you! You need to ask yourself why am I putting myself down? If you think something is wrong you owe it to your self to try and fix it. When I was younger my fiancé was murdered while I was at work, I did not want to live after that. But I knew she wouldn’t want that, so I tried to live the best life I could and continue to do, you have a gift called life so don’t waste it . I’m sure you have loved ones that care about you , hang in there things will get better I’m sure of it! I’m still dealing with anxiety and depression it come and goes but I’m still here . It helps to come here and vent and health unlocked has resources here to help also. Don’t give up!

I agree with below comments. Although I also feel like this sometimes. I try not to listen to them thoughts. They are just thoughts and not fact. They eventually pass.

I feel this one down to the core. No matter what happens I feel this way

Hi Ugh. First, I want acknowledge your feelings. I often feel the same way. It stinks and the fact is that not everyone has supportive family members or friends close by. That being said, through therapy I've learned that these feelings are not fact, they are not true, and it's the depression and trauma I've experienced that is speaking. I have to fight these feelings every day, and people like to dismiss it as though it's trivial. But the Truth is Depression is a liar and a joy-stealer and gives us tunnel vision so we only live within our negative thoughts. Feelings NEVER tell the whole story. If you have the resources, a therapist can help you to process and learn ways to fight or neutralize these negative thought patterns. You may also need to see a psychiatrist. Remember you are not alone and that even if you don't feel it you are valuable and worthy of love, not because anything you can achieve or any qualities you may or may not have but simply because you exist. If you've never heard that you're hearing it from us. Thanks for reaching out and keep trying to fight for the help you need. You deserve it.

First off, the line in the song "live right now, just be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else" is 100% true. That said, loneliness is a b**** and everyone needs to feel loved and cared about by someone.

Second, I'm sure there are interesting and perhaps even exciting things about you; that is to say, interesting and exciting to someone. You just need to find those people. There may be fewer of those people, but they're out there, for sure. Find the things you love and advertise them in your actions and words, online or in person. You'll find at least a few people who respond.

I’ve always had similar thoughts that come and go. It’s hard to shut that voice up because sometimes it can be all you hear is the negative things about yourself. Your a beautiful human being and everyone is special in their own ways. Feel free to reach out

Who are you trying to become good enough for?

Average is just a mathematical construct.

To me, the point of life is to work hard to help other people (or critters or the earth) in some way.
