How to stop feeling like a burden
I often don't say things or get in contact with people, cause I can't stop feeling like a burden. I feel like I'm always negative and down and don't want to drag people down into that.
Do you guys have any tips on how to get over this hurdle more easily?
@RichardSG25 hello. feeling like a burden around others can often be a sign of low self-esteem issues. Do you feel like you are a confident person? Do you know when this feeling started, maybe after a bad experience with others?

I have basically no self-esteem to speak of. Not really sure when this first started, I grew up with a narcissistic mother belittling me and my sister, I'm pretty sure that's the main source of most of my personality disorder problems. Never really been in any kind of healthy relationship, family, friend or romantic. So I guess I'm not really sure what the boundaries are.
@RichardSG25 i am really sorry to hear that, that must have been really tough to deal with, you definitely did not deserve to be treated like this. i do have to ask you, as you are on your listener account, to log into a member or guest account in order to seek personal help. This is one of the forum and main guidelines here on 7cups

I've not been able to switch between the two for the last few days, I've contacted support but haven't heard anything yet, sorry
