feeling worthless

MermaidSinger

hello all...Just felt like I needed to vent. I'm in high school and am so fucking sick to death of this damn inferiority complex. It hurts me so badly to be ignored by certain people who I try the most to please. They are the ones who sent me searching for perfection, and I ended up finding nothing but anorexia. Whoop de fucking doo. And you know what? They STILL don't care. In fact, they think it's pathetic. Funny, even. I swear, if hearts could break from longing, I'd be dead. I was just wondering...does anybody ever fell like just losing hope? I just am losing my will to fight anymore. I feel like, what's the use? No matter what, they still will never love me. Sorry to be a bother...just thought maybe I'd come to you guys, since you've saved me before. :)

Have you ever thought about why you care about pleasing those people? Why should you only focus on pleasing yourself? Are those people really that important and warrant your time and energy?

Those stupid people are not worth your time! Don't even bother with them. THey are not friends if they treat you that way and I am sure there are many other kids in your school who are more worthy of your friendship. But you gotta keep fighting and having hope for YOU not them. You are worth it and there is so much more out there than those people and what they think of you. Trust me, if I could go back to highschool, one thing I would change is giving even a rat's bumm what people thought of me. You gotta just be yourself and those who are worth your time will love you for YOU! Hang in there, I know it is hard, but later on, you will forget all about these people.

It used to kill me if somebody didn't like me. I was the biggest people pleaser out there. And guess what, none of them became real friends. They used me to vent but when I needed them they were gone. So why would you want to be friends with them. You will never be perfect, that's what makes you human and special. How boring if we all would be perfect. Look for people you admire, who have a good heart and try to become friends with them. If you have just one real friend you are rich.

Sorry -- a correction to my previous post -- a word is missing!
