none of that will help me, my physical reality is that no one has ever liked me, ive been outcast since i was in preschool. I can never be happy.
I get what you mean. I had to learn to be happy by myself. Its difficult and even I'm not there yet. The truth is, no matter who you are, someone will like you. Maybe not the ones you want, or in ways you notice, or in the way you need. I found out the hard way, constantly seeking validation. People say you have to love yourself for others to love you. I still hate myself a lot of the time. I still struggle to accept love. But it is there. I've been incredibly alone. I've felt hated and worthless. That feeling changes nothing. Try just existing. Just live one day looking at the world and only the world. Nobody else, not even you. I'm sorry you feel the way you do and I know no words will change your reality in an instant. But reality does change. Be the person you would want to be if you were the only one left in the world.
@ahhlo I know that you feel this way, but feelings are temporary! I really love @opheliawon response. You may feel that the world is against you, but I promise you that someone cares about you. It may be hard to see, but it is there!
