Why can't I get rid of this pain?

[Anonymous]

I feel inferior and powerless. I grew up without love and approval. Nobody ever told me they loved me. My mother left me, my education was not very successful, I had no friends or boyfriend even at university. I'm not very beautiful or attractive. I hate myself. A life without so much love is very difficult. All doors are closing in my face, I don't belong anywhere and I'm ashamed of this life.

Awwwww, I feel ya luv. That sounds super tough growing up without that kind of love and support. No wonder you've been feeling so down on yourself.

But listen, as crappy as your past was, you can't let it keep crushing your spirit forever. Beating yourself up ain't gonna change anything or make you feel better.

Instead of focusing on all the things you think you lack, try redirecting your energy into things that build you up. Pick up a hobby you enjoy, hit the gym, spend time in nature - find simple things that make you feel alive each day.

You're also definitely not alone in dealing with these kinds of insecure feelings. Everyone struggles at times. But reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Have you considered talking to a counselor? Might help you work through some of this hurt and see your worth isn't defined by your past. You got so much potential ahead.

You deserve to be happy too. I know it's hard, but you gotta start being your own best friend from now on. Believe in yourself the way I believe in you, alright? You got this luv, just take it one day at a time.

You should probably consult a doctor or psychologist

You should try to do something you like

All doors have been closed to me so far and I don't have the face to knock on doors anymore.

You could try some sport?

[Asker]

What will this do?

[laraWM]

It could help you feel better, see other people

[Asker]

Nothing can save me now

[laraWM]

Just call anyone you know

Give yourself the love and support that you didn't get growing up. Saying you're ugly isn't going to help you.

have you tried counseling?

[Asker]

I tried once and it didn't work

Go to church.
