I Blame Myself....for everything

[Liam007]

I have trouble with self acceptance. I find that I constantly blame myself for EVERY mistake that goes wrong.

Friend is upset and when I try offer support they only get worse = my fault

Friends don't want to talk to me = my fault

I try to help someone but they don't want my help or I feel they are annoyed by me= my fault

I embarrass myself when I'm talking to a new person I just met= MY FAULT

and so on....I don't feel like I have general shyness I feel like I'm coming across as an idiot whenever I stuttered or stop for a second to think about I want to say next. I feel like a weirdo. I don't know when something is actually my fault or if it was just bad luck or the situation was out of my control or if I made no mistake to begin with. I feel like I'm doing something wrong constantly. Am I worrying too much? Should I give myself more of a chance? Thanks, Liam

Hi Flex,

Thanks for the reply, I just thought I would let you know I've booked an appointment to see a youth psyhologist to try and face these emotions and negative thoughts, I'll let you know how it all goes/ what I discover etc.

Thanks, Liam

Fantastic Liam!

I'm very proud of you mate for just having the courage to ask for help with something like this & don't forget you'll be in good hands! In regards to getting on the booze its ok to say NO most people don't use this word enough..

Kind regards,

Flex
