longlegzs80 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I would love to get away from myself. I hate being me. No one accepts me for who I am and I am just a waste of life. Wish I was dead. Hate everyone around me, family, people I work with everyone. I love how people are so quick to judge me when they don't even know who I am. I hate living. Life blows.

UCFKevin Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Here's what you need to do. Watch a special on a typical day in the life of an Ethiopian or Afghanistanian, then tell me your life is really that bad. You have family, you have a job, you have your health (I would assume), things some people would kill to have. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Bah. He's a grump. However, if you watch Jerry Springer for a while, you will for sure be glad of whatever your life is! Really, longlegz, everybody feels this rotten from time to time. If you find you feel this way often, then see a doc because your body chemistry could be out of whack and that can make you despair.

UCFKevin Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Or watch Blind Date and Elimidate, my GOD, those shows make me feel so good about myself. Link to post Share on other sites
cindy0039 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 longlegzs - What makes you think that people are judging you? Has something in particular happened recently to make you feel this way? I agree with Moimeme that you do need to see a counselor and possibly be put on some medication to help you feel better. Link to post Share on other sites

I love how people are so quick to judge me when they don't even know who I am. I hate living. Life blows. YOU have to accept you. If there is something about yourself that you don't like - change it. Get a haircut, practice smiling, learn some jokes, What kind of person do you want to be? Think about it and find one trait or behavior that you really like and then start applying it to yourself until it becomes part of you. And quit worrying about pleasing other people - if someone doesn't accept you then you don't need them and it does not matter what they think. It's their problem not yours. I've felt that way too - I think everyone has at one time or another. Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 yep to Hokey's and Cindy's assessment. things might be going crappy and you might feel like you're under fire by certain people, and that's okay ... for a short while. Remember there's something about you that is solely your own, something that no one else can do or claim, just you. And that unique thing is what sets you apart from the rest of us monkeys! You're special. try not to put so much stock into what others think or feel or say about you, because, really, they just don't know you. Heck, even your mother doesn't know you fully, and she gave birth to you! now go get 'em, tiger. Link to post Share on other sites
Clancy Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Seriously, Longlegz if you truly hate to be alive then you are suffering from a severe depression and you should go get some help. You could choose to die but then you'd be doing that under a faulty, broken, misfiring thought pattern. Why not seek out help and perhaps medication to get yourself on an even keel so that you can then make a fairer assessment concerning how desperate life really is. Everybody feels like sh*t sometimes but what you are describing is too painful and dark and you shouldn't have to deal with it alone. We all want you to get well. Link to post Share on other sites

Or, b/c everyone views you as something, you in fact feel that you are a particular way??? Link to post Share on other sites
jenny Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 i apologize in advance for the cliche of this: BUT you are a sweet, lovely girl who has ambitions and takes steps to acheive them. you are articulate and healthy. you are kind and sensitive. you sense your potential and the struggles that will come. all of these are blessings, in the non-religious sense. given all this evidence, if you are still depressed, seek help, please. there is something going on that logic cannot encompass. i hate seeing talent going wasted. i know you are lonely, i expect most of us are. but you are young, rich with resources, and the world is waiting for you. love and support, j Link to post Share on other sites
mattdad Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 If you are, then I recommend the following two books. They will aid in revealing faulty thought patterns and beliefs. The first is entitled "Feeling Good", by David Burns M.D. The other is called "You Don't Have to Suffer", by Judy Tatlebaum. Both of these show us that we are indeed our own worst enemies, but that there is a way to overcome these self-destructive thoughts. Good luck to you! Link to post Share on other sites
ThisGirlNameKD Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 People won't feel good about you unless you feel good about yourself. If you have low self-esteem, people can usually smell it and identify it and treat you accordingly....low. If you hate being you, change yourself. But don't do it to get other people to accept you or like you. Everyone is not going to like you, just like you don't like everyone you meet. Don't make them make you feel bad. Do as the others say in getting evaluated for depression, possibly medication, and read some good books to help you build up yourself esteem. Link to post Share on other sites
