Love help: Read if you have the time. - Help.com

Read if you have the time.

I’m 18. I have no friends, no family (no real family) and no relationship. I’ve never really had any. I’ve failed everything in my life. I have no purpose to stay alive. But I wont commit suicide. I am to much of a coward. If someone were to try and kill me right now I would not fight it. I’ve lost reason to keep trying. My heart is filled with sadness and anger. It’s all I feel. My past is ridden with scars. I’m ugly as sin. I was fat. I didn’t like that so I stopped eating relatively. I went from size 42 inch belt to 30. I only drink these days. My stomach is always in pain. I was cutting myself a few years ago. And now I’ve started again. I have no job. The economy went sour and I lost mine. I’m not doing so well in school. I dont like going anywhere. I know alot about alot. But for my pros they are out weighted by my cons. I smile at people but inside I’m screaming and crying. I lie all the time to hide who I am. I even find myself lying to myself. I have no real talents besides crying. When I was young my father beat me and drank; and my mother used drugs and told me I was worthless. I was raped when I was seven. I’ve never liked by my peers. I was suicidal from an early age. I had one somewhat friend who betrayed me in grade seven. I had one sort of girlfriend who I loved (whether she loved me or not) who died in grade nine. My friend who betrayed me died that same year. Since then I have had no real contact with anyone. There are people who I will talk to but no friends. I do not wish sympathy from anyone. For all the horrers that have been introduced on me I have done horrible things. I’ve stole things, hurt people. I’ve thought worse things on people. For all that I have done and haven’t done I’m ashamed. I implore forgiveness on the world. But I do not deserve it. I wish I could fall in love. I wish I could be a good person. People refuse to give me a chance.

You asked for no sympathy, so I won’t give you any. All I can say is that you’ve made a good attempt at finding contact with people by signing up with this site. I’ve found that if you take “a chance” on other people here, at one point or another they’ll take a chance on you. It won’t be the revelatory, OMG-this-is-what-I-needed-to-hear answer I bet you’re aching for, but it’s something…just something. It’s better than nothing, right?

Thats a silly stupid answer. I have seen that before. It’s not a matter of time when no one talks to you. In case you haven’t noticed I’m not a fifteen year old kid with crushes.

I’ve been where you are for the last, oh, year of my life. i know that it hurts, like someone keeps sticking a sword or a knife into your body over and over, every minute, right? believe me, i can empathize. talk to me.

You really dont understand. This isn’t a temporary problem. This is my whole life. You’re entire answer is incidental.

One. Time does not heal all wounds there are lots of people like war victims who would disagree with that.
Two. Waiting for love to just “happen” doesn’t work, thats stupid. You have to go out and try to find it.

There isn’t much good about me. My main problem that so far no matter who I ask is How do I become a good person and how can I start a relationship? With the relationship part I know I’m not good looking. And because of my life a little screwed in the head. But women just see a freak in me no matter what I do. I guess all people see that.

The fact that you feel sorry shows that you arent a bad person though. The reasons you did those things is out of reaction to things that happened in your life. I wont look down on you or pity you or laugh at you or insult you or hate you but i will give sympathy because i do care even without knowing you and without you wanting it, or so you say. The very fact you posted here is because you do want people to care, and guess what, even if you dont want it they still care. I havent had all those things happen to me but I do understand a lot of it. I too have no friends and never really had much to start and feel as if I have failed at everything. I wont refuse you a chance to be good or refuse anything from you. Yeah some people dont seem to give a chance but you deserve it more than you think, they just dont understand you all the time thats why. Let them knkow the good you rather than hiding it and pretending your all bad when your not.

you are still making negative statements…. say instead, I have done things I regret but I now do good things.
Love will happen when u change the vibe u give out by giving up all the negative thoughts and stuff.
A misrable person doesn’t attact others.
The book the secret I mentioned talks of the power of attraction as in like attracts like. negative to negative, positive to positive.
In other words, play some up beat music, pamper yourself and watch a comedy.
When u can smile again u will attract the same vibe back

Dont worry about them okay.

If you feel so bad for doing bad things and cant seem to stop, maybe you need to go to a therapist and find out why you cant stop.

hey i do understand what you’re going through. i’ve been there. everything seems to fall apart from the very start and everything around us just falls apart. the worst thing about it is that you dont know what makes us like that.. it just feels so weird and so hopeless… so unreal but so real. then you try to do everything you could to make life more meaningful. still not. that was why i was contemplating suicide too…. but not anymore. i figured that there is a god-shaped hole in every man’s heart that only a person god-sized can fill and i found that in jesus… i;m not preaching, but just offering my experience and perspective to you. have you ever thought to seek help from god? though you might think he doesnt care, he does really care… and listen. and he loves you more than you know…
hope for the best for you and know that you have a friend that’s praying for yo

this one is for borderline personality disorder therapy but the low self esteem and hurting yourself and having trouble feeling right is close enough in my opinion to at least ask

You have mental problems it seems, your not good or bad for doing bad things because the cause or why you do it was not made by you. I think it could be related to your OCD or maybe you have something else and were misdiagnosed.

You cant find love because you think so low of yourself so much. Thats pretty simple to understand. I found love when i wasnt even looking for it. Love shows up in unexpected places but you have to take care of yourself first so you can live to see it.

So you enjoy being miserable and alone? You have to change or else its always going to stay that way. Things dont change if you keep doing the same things all the time.

Why cant you go to a psychologist anymore? or a therapist? Out of money? What is it? I think you really need to go.

Well if your doing bad things when you dont want to its from a mental condition or sorts. You should be able to stop, if you cant do it yourself you need help. Just be constantly aware of your actions and maybe it will help you stop doing those things.

Dont worry about finding love for now, it often finds you first. Take care of your problems with how you feel about yourself and everything else will fall into place

Change your attitude for one thing. Its obviously so negative it influences your thinking. Try and do things you havent done before so you can get yourself out of the same conditions that are holding you back from changing. You do not have to change if you dont know what to change, no reason to change something if you like it. I am kind of doing the same thing right now, i want to change but im not sure exactly what but i at least have a rough idea of some things I can do and I bet you can come up with some. You want to be loved, but if you make yourself into something you are not and dont want to be then anyone who likes you wont really ove you and im sure you would rather not have that than to be loved in a lie. You really arent that bad, your just troubled like everyone else and all your bad stuff in life has come too close together, but that makes for a clearer road ahead though.

Sorry if i sounded a bit mean before
