All ive suffered is pain, am i doomed for a crappy life. Like today i busted into tears at work. Someone plz help
You are quite possibly depressed because of the environment you are in, if so, make a plan to change it.
In order to be properly liked you MUST properly like yourself first, otherwise people will treat you according to the way they see you treat yourself, improperly.
How do you properly like yourself first?
You treat yourself lovingly, you put the love of yourself before another, because if you fail to you will have no idea how to properly love that other, and you would come up empty handed, would you agree (I'm guessing most of your relationships are hard work because you have to work too hard to make them successful yes?)?
Self-love is the greatest love of all, it is that great that it is the only love you ever need in your life.
Remember this also, only one person in this world is responsible for your ultimate happiness, it ain't him and, it ain't her, leaving but one then, and that one would be ...? Beginning with "y", ending with "u", with "o" in the middle.
In order to accomplish something meaningful, and something that will guarantee you future success elsewhere, you must make a plan, set yourself a 12-month goal to achieve anything of your choosing, and refuse to give up until the 12-month period has expired. If your goal hasn't been achieved by then, then extend it by a further six months, if still no, then another six months, keep on extending until your goal is achieved.
I will suggest an easy goal for you to achieve in the next 12 months. Part (a) In the next 12 months you will stop judging yourself, you will stop labeling yourself, you will stop calling yourself stupid, foolish, an idiot or anything else negative for that matter, deal?
Part (b) For the next 12 months you will stop judging other people in any way, you will simply accept them for who they are, deal?
What are the benefits of achieving this goal: 1) You will start liking yourself, thus making you likable to the outside world. 2) You will begin loving yourself, thus making you lovable to the outside world. 3) You will stop being short-sighted in your views, and open minded instead, thus making you even smarter than you already are, yes, you are very smart. 4) You will become empathetic. 5) You will become a good listener, and be loved for it. Overall you WILL become a happier person.
When we meaningfully achieve in life our self-esteem rises along with, if we do nothing, our self-esteem fails to move upwards as well. When you meander, your self-esteem remains stagnant and, your feeling of worthlessness fails to disappear.
Remember always, the sum of nothing is nothing, do nothing then and you will achieve nothing, make sense?
My dear, though I don't know you personally, please know that I prayed for you as I read your message, and I will be praying for you. This song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KIhYZQ_ovw has been very encouraging to me lately. I hope you like it.
