I get the point of community service, I really do. I get why so many people need or want it and all the benefits it provides individuals and family. I just from previous experience have't gotten anything out of it and I guess now realize my lack of care or numbness on it towards if it helps others.
Not as much an issue at the moment seeing how the last few dozen volunteer gigs i've applied for have said i wouldn't be a good fit (no car, lack of references (no network) and differences between myself and conservative region live in. Ex-homeless shelter are runned by church and i don't believe in the bible deal).
For a while I kept thinking I was just making excuses, though realize now I've just really numbed myself to humanity without a means out. (notes-have seen shrinks, don't love myself or able to grasp how to do so, though no worries, given up on suicide).
So, any ideas? Guess just of the standard answers. I mean I clearly can't grasp how to get passed this.

The point of community service is to give of yourself - freely without expectations. Why don't you love yourself? You are an unique being with your own set of of talents and traits. Practice looking in the mirror and saying: "I'm a worthwhile, loving person and I love you." Keep on with the counseling.

maybe just take a break and take care of you, keep seeing your therapist.
you are experienced when you have been there, you understand that life.
hang in there, maybe to you just need a different field of community service.
