I'm a waste of space

[Useless_loser]

I have absolutely no friends and everyone I've tried to be friends with has been disappointed by me. I'm a useless back of garbage that not a single person on the planet could ever give a shit about

I just wanted to let you know that you are loved.. . By everyone in this community. ...By everyone who has ever felt this way before (and trust me...theres a lot of us!)

It may not feel like it today, but one day you will see that you are so much more than you think. We are all here to help. You are not worthless. Dont ever let yourself believe that.

I believe we all have a purpose in life...you just need to focus on yours and the rest will fall into place!

You’re not alone, a lot of people feel that way, myself included. In fact, people actually physically move away from me for the same reasons. Have hope that you will one day meet people who genuinely care about you and less about what others think. They are hard to come across.

Hi, it has been a few days now that you wrote. And I do hope you come back.

I have felt this way too and it does make me feel sad that you believe this about yourself as well. It is such a awful place to be in. I do feel for you.

This may sound strange and not natural at all. As it does not come easy to me. May I tell you what I am practicing doing?

We have to work on our belief patterns. Like in our minds. It is possible to do. Every time we start to have these thoughts about ourselves. Thoughts like we are just a lot of garbage, we are a loser etc. We say no that's not true. Even say it aloud so you can hear it yourself. Then say Thankyou I am loved, thankyou I am worthwhile. Thankyou that I am precious. Which is the absolute truth about all of us.

Like I said it may not seem like a natural thing to practice doing.

But we can change these pathways in our brains to think differently about ourselves.

Anyway I for one believe there is no way you are a loser. No way you are a pack of garbage. And I care so much about you even though I have never met you.

And welcome to Beyond Blue. Hope you read all this.

Much care for you

Fake it till you make it!! It actually works. When I was young I used to suffer really bad from social anxiety. I had such low self esteem that I believed that I was useless and not good at anything. I was very popular at school and had heaps of friends but I was shy and felt like I didn't connect with anyone. I guess u could say I was suffering in silence. As I got older I forced myself to get jobs by pretending I was confident but I got taken advantage of alot. It wasn't until I moved to a huge city and did my hairdressing and beauty apprenticeships that I gained confidence in who I was. I had to force myself to be confident and changed my belief system about who I was and how valuable I am.
