I’m not good at anything. I’m a dissapointment. Why would god put such a dissapointment on this world.

Thanks. People have convinced me that this is who I am. I guess they’re right.

i don't think they are right. it's not who you are, it's the illness you are suffering from.

Hi there is one thing you can be a world beater at and this is being yourself. No one else can do it as well as you can so this is what you need to strive for.

Why do you need to be good at something? I'm not and call myself uniquely untalented but that's fine. As long as I can be me then all is right in my world. Find yourself. x

Did you suffer emotional childhood neglect or trauma? Was someone always giving you negative feedback? Is that why you feel this way?

Whoever made you feel this way is wrong! Something is wrong with them not you.

We are all special. We all have something to give this world.

I suffered childhood emotional abuse. I was never good enough. So if this is where it stems for you I can 100% relate.

If you feel comfortable share a bit more. Realize how strong you are for writing the post. There's nothing disappointing about that. It shows bravery.

I feel that sometimes but is just depression I push away that thoughts and say to myself over and over again: GOD LOVE ME, GOD GUIDES ME, GOD IS SHOWING THE WAY! Everybody has unique talents and abilities, believe in yourself and be patience with yourself. 💖

You are not a disappointment. You are here for a reason, the same as we all are. My mum always talks about "God's big plan". Two weeks ago I felt my life was falling apart at the seams and without going into too much detail, things have got a lot better. I had no job - I now have a job. I had fallen out with my family - we have since talked and made up. I hated getting up in the morning - now I cant wait to get out of bed and enjoy my day. I HAD to believe that things were going to get better and they did.

You are your own person, you are different from everyone else because you are YOU.. Years ago I went to counselling sessions because I was convinced I was a horrible/bad person and I hated myself. I was told to look in the mirror every morning and tell myself I was a good person and that I liked myself. I felt really stupid at first but I did it and the more I did it, the more I believed it, because deep down I knew I was not a bad person. I deserve good things because as they say in the L'Oreal advert "I'm worth it!!" and I believe you are too!!

Sending you lots of good luck and best wishes!!

Keep your chin up and keep talking!! :-) :-)
