friends help: i don’t want to be a burden. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

i don’t want to be a burden.

i feel so terrible. :(
i’m afraid to make new friends… the old ones probably hate me… my family’s probably ready to murder me… i’m embarrassed to ask for help, even anonymously over the ******* internet… PATHETIC. where did my self-esteem run off to?

at times it seems that i should just slash my head off, but thankfully my common sense perks up, sometimes. is it better to cut myself off from civilization so that i don’t harm myself out of self-pity? because i’m starting to think that’s the only answer…

Why? Why do you think all of this?

You want to give a little context?

people have told me so, ever since i was little. i have always been that person who is dragged around out of obligation. no one ever wants to actually spend time with me, talk to me. i’m practically invisible when i do open my mouth and have a conversation. i’m that ignorable space.

i don’t really know how to really provide any context because there are so many factors… so many different things that are whirling around in my head that are all contributing to this. i guess in the end, i’m just confused and lonely.

You have to find your niche, but believe me it exists. Perhaps your trying to be someone you’re not subconsciously. The sad thing is, usually the ones that care most about us never tell us like we need them to. I’m here to talk with, if you want that. :-)

to be honest, i would rather not talk. it’s almost hypocritical because my mind knows better, but i really don’t think this is worth anyone’s time.
this was just a bad idea. thanks anyways, though.

Right here and now, in only moments you have two people who don’t think you’re a waste of time. :-) Don’t let people get to you.

Don’t cut yourself off, don’t treat yourself like nothing. If people have been telling you that they spend time or take you places out of obligation, it doesn’t mean anything about you expect you have bad friends. Free yourself from them, a live your life as someone who can see their own worth. You’re a wonderful person, because all people are wonderful.

You are a member of the human race. You are a child of God. You have a valuable contribution to make. You are NOT inferior to other people. You only THINK you are inferior. And, already, you have people who care about you and want you to enthusiastically embrace being a valuable member of human society. You have nothing to fear but fear itself!

There is no reason to be imbarresed. Its okay to feel down sometimes, i mean my parents are in the next room screaming at eachother i know, but anyway, its just a part of life, sometimes LIFE JUST SUCKS!!!

dude, relax. just take a big breath and relax. you know what helps when u feel like that? turn on the computer and make a list of your favorites songs and just listen to them and sing.
make new friends. I had loads of problems with my old friends and making new ones is great. you may be shy, but it’s worth trying :)
and dont worry, i think everyone had gone through a similar situation at least once… my family hates me and so did my old friends, so I can of get what you are saying.
relax. that’s my advice
