Question, Is it okay to feel worthless or that you don't belong anywhere?

I started feeling that i was worthless and that i dont belong anywhere last year, So i would tend to stay in my room and try to stay and not see my family as much as i could. It hurts to get out of bed some mornings.

Milohere, I would recommend that you watch an old movie "It's a Wonderful Life". If you have already watched it, watch it again. It has a wonderful message for those who think that their lives don't matter.

I can relate. When I wake up I feel like I don't want to be alive because I am alone. Going for a walk helps. I connect with the beauty of nature. I pray for help from the Universe.

It's on a number of streaming services. The most common are Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, etc. You might have to pay a fee (approx. 3.99) to see it, but it's worth it.

Hi Milohere, I have felt the same way. Causing me to isolate myself. I think about whether am I needed. Yes, I am. I have two disabled adults who live with me that still need me in certain ways. My grandsons need me. You impact people all the time. A smile. It is very tough. but please do not isolate yourself. From experience, it will make things worse. As hard as it is surround yourself with your family. It does not have to be all the time. Gradually, say today I am going to spend 10 minutes with my_______. We can watch a show, chat, or play a game. Sometimes my kids want me to watch anime with them, and I love anime. There are times I just want to be on my bed with my weighted blanket. I make myself go watch an anime with them because deep inside I know it would be good for me. Sending hugs

You are not worthless. Every human being as in it worse. It is probably you're thinking that makes you believe you don't belong anywhere but that is not true. There is some place where you belong, maybe many places, but you have to overcome your inertia and your thoughts to get there. The more you isolate yourself, the more negative thoughts you have about yourself and the harder it becomes to re-integrate with other people.

What you're describing sounds like some serious depression. You might benefit from therapy, medication or self-help books. Most important, you must motivate your self to get out there and see what you can do that is worthwhile. Like many people who are depressed, they do not want to do things, but when someone pressures them into doing them, they feel better. Think of this as an experiment in which you were going to test your ideas about yourself and your ability to fit in.

I wanted to make a correction. The sentence that reads "every human being has as in it worse" should read" every human being has worth."

i belive like you said it's just a feeling, but the problem is, you belive in that so much that you started to act on it, have you noticed it? You isolate not because you need it, but because you belived at some point that that is really the truth about you. I would tell you to question that belief, and acknowlege that once a belief is formed, it's obviosly hard to not belive it anymore, i would just put that into question

Why am i worthless, why do you belive that my friend? talk to me you can be honest, and i will not try to change you into thinking differently, just wanted to see your perspective
