I sometimes feel like I absolutley love my life. That things couldn't get better. But then it's like soon enough I feel totally oppisite, I feel worthless and that I mean nothing. I'm 15, I have my 3 close friends, a boyfriend, and some friends who I talk to during school. I live in a nice house, I have a decent family. I have average looks. Still all of this feels invisible and the only things I see are the things that are wrong. I sometimes feel like my friends are mad at me or don't like me, and deep down I know it's probably not even true. I feel lost because I really don't know who I am. I act different around who ever I am with. I wish I could just break through my shyness and be more friendly. I always feel like my life is worthless. I know deep down that I should be happy and love my life, and I really want to, but I can't break through whatever it is seperating me from it. It's SOOO frustrating. Help?

baby girl, what's going on is absolutely normal. finding yourself, discover who you are and the purpose in life, is a part of life. this is the important time for you, find your value and virtue. discover what make you happy and what is right. look inside yourself, you will find your direction. this might take some time to discover, but eventually you will. this thing will take time. so, be patient. you will emerge.

Wow, I'm going through the same EXACT situation. Well, except for the fact that I'm 21 years old, but everything else is basically the same. I'm a pretty girl, I live in a huge house, I'm going to college, have a boyfriend that I absolutely ADORE.... and I still feel depressed, like life isn't worth anything.
I don't know why I start feeling this way out of nowhere, it just hits me. Although last night, I think I had a panic attack, and after it was done, I was back to my regular spunky self.
I don't know if this is going to help you at all but it definitely helped me realize something... I get bored easily. And I might be bored because my life is too good right now... when things aren't going so good, that's when I'm more focused and on my toes.
I really hope that this helps, and if you find out what the problem is, I'd appreciate it if you'd post it in your feedback to the the "Best Answer" choice.
Good luck in your journey.
PS: And one more thing: expect a lot of people not to understand what you're going through... most people are too dumb or oblivious to realize what they're feeling anyway.

Sounds like you are finding your soul sweetie. With age you will know what the value of your life really is. But worthless that's a word you must that out of your vocabulary when it comes to speaking of yourself. Especially at your age there's no way you can be worthless. You are young, intelligent enough to talk to someone about an issue on your mind, full of energy and have a big future ahead. It's not all about loving your life its about LOVING YOURSELF and the rest will follow. What is separating is your uniqueness. Enjoy your life by giving peace to yourself rather than taking up time that you could be using to realize how beautiful a person you really are.

Everyone gets like that sometimes especially when we are younger b/c we are trying to find out who we are. You have mentioned many things to be happy about in your life. Focus on those things rather than the bad things. I know how you feel about feeling around your friends sometimes and feeling like their mad at you. I get like that sometimes, so I think its normal for everyone to feel like that. If you feel like your life is worthless, just take a look at the people who love you and who couldnt live without you in their life. If you werent there how would your parents, friends and boyfriend feel? If you want to feel better maybe you should try to volunteer at a hospital, shelter or something else, helping others can make you feel more better. When you help others you may realize what you have that they dont. Or discovering what you like to do like play guitar or learn how to surf. You are unique and there is no one in the world like you. Take care.

To put it short: life is hard. You can feel like you have the world, but then, if you really have a want that is not being met, it will make you seem like you have nothing. I have heard it called the 80/20 rule. That people will have 80% of what they want, but will then focus on the 20% that they do not have. MAKE IT A PRACTICE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU ENJOY ABOUT YOUR LIFE EVERYDAY. Even if it is something as small as giving your parent a hug or having a bowl of your favorite ice cream.

Most of us feel that way. It will pass as time goes by, but for now I would pay attention to the part that is lost because you don't know who you are. This is an excellent time in your life to find out who you are and see how it feeds into who you want to be. Go here http://www.sasknetwork.ca/html/JobSeekers/careerplanning/knowyourself.htm

for some tips
As for the rest of it- the feeling that your friends hate you etc. Dismiss these feelings as being false- you already know they are.

You are 15. Its called puberty (spelling?). Or maybe not... but ALL of us feel that way from the moment we can think for ourselves. I think that way sometimes, and most of my friends do when I'm not around (I have my sources). High School Musical. Get it on DVD or listen to Stick to the status Quo. Choose your path.
Good Luck!

My daughter is the same age and I can see her feeling the same way. I believe this is when you turn to your family. In the end they are the only ones that will be there for you. Open up to them. You may feel better, and feel the feelings that you are missing.

I think you need to talk to the guidance councellor or a therapist about this before it becomes a real problem.
