Answer 2

Hi. I relate with you, these feelings are not uncommon. Many people experience at one point in their lives.

A lot of this can come from having an negative inner voice. What are you telling yourself? Are you telling yourself things that you wouldn't say to others? Negative things? Self-destructive things? Was there a traumatic even in your life that you never really examined? Are you very self-critical?

One thing you can do is change your inner voice to saying positive things. It makes life so much different, it opens your eyes to true happiness.

You can start by keeping a gratitude journal. Write two or three things a day that you are grateful for. Try to see the positives in all situations.

You might also want to see a counsellor, this way you can really examine why you feel this way. Keep in mind that these feelings are temporary, and don't tell yourself you're worthless! You're not!

Answer 3

I dont know what makes you feel insecure and worthless but until recently i felt like that because of my job situation. My advice to you would be to think about how you can change the thing(s) that make you feel that way. Figure out what can be changed and change that and then realise people, all of them are pretty amazing, you included.

try having a make over buy some clothes that you feel comfortable in and make you feel confident especially if they show off your best features, colour your hair or have it cut and styled to suit you and buy new make up, if you look good you will feel good, also make a list of qualities that are good that you think you have not what others do, for instance are you caring or a good listener have you got any talent can you cook or sew or type are you good with children or people, then focus on your good points try and do something different everyday to boost your confidence maybe put your talents and intrests to the test and apply for college courses or jobs or clubs that do stuff your intrested in or take up a hobby once you learn to accept and love yourself others will to, plus remember if someone calls you or gives you a hard time take a long look at them are they really that perfect that you care what they think, maybe they are fatter than you or spottier or nasty to people, folk who always put others down normally have some sort of insecurity about themselves that they try and force it on others to make themselves feel better, if you cant get the nerve to go out and meet people get a dog it will be a loyal friend and you will have to take it for a walk and go out and seepeople try smiling at them even strike a converstation up, im sure you have good qualities you just have to search your soul and find them and believe in yourself and others will follow..if you still feel worthwhile it may be a good idea to see your doctor as you may be suffering from depression or he may suggest counciling to helpyou through stuff and come to terms with things..good luck

Answer 6

Do you feel the way others see you have you feeling that way or is it that you see yourself as being like that?

there are tons of people out there who always seem to value someone ONLY WHEN that person is able to do something they need done......fair-weather friends can be that way.......

What do you value about yourself........regardless of how you think others might view you.....what is there that YOU value of yourself? Focus on your talents......develop conficence by mastering those things that you seem to be reluctant to do.

It will take work and that makes it valuable to you.

Answer 7

see a psychotherapist, working for me, though takes much of your time and heartache- though if you really do feel bad now, you begin to see the only way is up.

You can find a good therapist via you doctor or search for one in yor area through websites of places- but please make sure that they are BPAC, qualified and experienced.

You can also ask you friends and people you know if they know of anywhere they can suggest, "interview" afew to see which works well with you - each therapist of any dicipline isan individual peraon as well as a therapist, you need to get on with them before embarking on any therapy.

Been there and it's really difficult. Takes a very strong person to not let it get on top of you. Talk to your doctor, they can be very understanding.
