Feel like an absolute useless, worthless, colossal failure.

Posted , 104 users are following.

Right, where do I start?

I'm 26. Male.

Working but on a zero hour contract but usually work the whole week (45 hrs).

That's where the good ends and the real crap begins.

I have no qualifications after getting two C's at A-level. Studying is something I find almost impossible.

I am socially awkward. I'm always afraid of what I said sounded stupid. I actively avoid any form of social activities.

I have zero friends. Yep nobody to hang out with.

Sure I say a few words to work colleagues and I think they genuinely like me but who really knows.

I've never had anything remotely like a romantic relationship and pretty much given up hope of ever finding anyone. I mean who would want to be with me anyway?

I'm boring, stupid, and unsuccessful.

I've tried taking to some girls online but after a a few sentences I can tell I'm being nothing but a boring drag.

I'm a nice guy but that gets me nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. I think I've gotten to the point where if I had a button that would kill every human being on the planet I'd push it.

When it comes to physical work and actually producing visible results at work I'm unstoppable. That's the main reason I'm called in to work as much as I am.

Work is the only good thing going on in my life right now. Without that I don't know what I'd do.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of committing suicide. But I know I won't do it. Not at this moment in time anyway.

My mind often ponders about what would be the best way to kill yourself.

Jump off a building, car wreck, dive off a cliff, hanging, slit wrists, overdose, gunshot to the head (overseas). That's as far as I've gotten.

The topic of death occupies a big part of my daydreaming. I find it fascinating. What happens when you die? Do you just switch off? Do you wake up elsewhere (life doesn't seem real to me, more like a dream). I hardly recognise myself in the mirror. It's more like looking at a stranger.

As if the other day I've started cutting at my arm. Self harm. I never thought I'd end up here.

I'm on anti depressants at the moment. I missed one dose and went very far down hill. Back up today but not fully there. Doubt I ever will be.

I don't even know why I've written all this. It's unlikely posting this here will have any effect for the better.

The best words to describe my current feelings:

Low/down, disconnected/detached, zero self worth, useless, worthless, failure, unwanted.

Of well. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Regards,

X99

    Thank you for sharing how you feel. Sometimes we feel we are alone in this feeling of depression and even though its hard to imagine there are people that are also going through the same thing. I lost my house, my vehicles, my business is going down the drain. The only thing I have going right is my family, kids and wife are all fine. We get together and have some laughs, even though when I see them all laughing and having fun I turn towards my inside and just think, why? How is it the we can be laughing and having at least what I consider the resemblance of been happy? Then I go to my world and start again crying and aching and hoping things would change for the better. I feel miserable and a total failure. We had to leave our house and went to live in a smaller house that we own, actually its a mobile home, its pretty comfortable but we got used to living in this really big and fancy house in a very nice neighborhood and now we are back where we started. I was just told in court that we had to evict my place of business. I built a business and everything was doing fine, untill it didnt. Now we have been ordered by court that the building I built with my own two hands is no longer ours, it belongs to the bank and we have to leave. I feel like a complete failure.

    I absolutely feel the same as you (I feel like I do), the only difference is I'm in high school. I feel detached from my friends and it's 100 precent my fault. I'm a worthless piece of sh*t, constantly getting irritated by everything, hating everything I do, losing interest in things I used to love. My grades are getting worse (but that's on me). I'm a bad a daughter and still don't understand how my mom puts up with me.

    I always overthink everything when somebody does something and the same with me. I can't speak Dutch correctly or speak my parent's language, so no one understands me. My problems aren't even problems, if I talk about it with someone I know, I'm pretty sure they'll laugh at that. I feel bad to even think of just dying, quitly without anybody knowing. The people I know have (had) partner and then there's me, below avarage looking girl. I just despise how I look even when I try to think "hey, maybe you don't look so bad" oh man, I do.

    I'm uninteresting, I mean, the only thing I can do is drawing and even that I slowly am stopping. There are times that I just don't go to school and would rather stay in bed not talking to anyone.

    This whole thing doesn't make sense, the things I wrote doesn't add up.

    I just hope to get a job, apperantly there's a chance they'll accept me and send an email if they do, but they still didn't... Eh, I'll just hope for the best.

    Sincerly,

    Naghma

    P.S I hope this makes in some way sense

      I can't edit so I'll just reply.

      I always stay at home, seeing my friends being happy with other people, means they can live without me. It's good really, they're doing good and I don't want to ruin it for them. I always try so hard to be a part with them, but it failed miserably, they continue to "ignore" me (by ignoring, i mean not actually caring the way I did back then) so I just stopped. if there was an option to just be alone for awhile and just not talk to anyone, I would grab that apportunity in less than a second. I try to not care for anyone but again my damn mind just decides to do that, even if I know it'll just be in vain. I have mixed feelings, in all this it seems I'm a victim, I whine a lot but at the same time, I deserve all this and that I have to feel even worse and hope all the bad things come in my way. I don't deserve this kind of life. There's someone who gladly wants to take my place, and that makes me feel even more worse because I'm just so damn spoiled.

      I just wish someone could just shoot me or run me over with a damn car.

      I'm a disappointment.

      YOU are precious in the sight of God.

      Jesus died to save you. He loves you that much. Getting to know Him is the way to having real life. Everything else is and imitation. He wants you to become His child. This happened to me three years ago and it is wonderful.

      Ultimately He has saved me.

      I know that when I die I will go and be with Him.

      If someone dies without knowing Jesus, it's really terrible, because there is hell. He came to save us from that. Knowing Jesus is the best thing a person can do. We need Him to wash us clean of all our sin. And make us NEW! It's amazing. biggrin

      These negative thoughts you are having are from Thr enemy of your soul. Pray to Jesus, cry out to Him for Him to save you and turn away from wrongdoing and see what starts to happen!!!

      There's power in The Name of JESUS

      Hey,

      Listen regardless of wheather you can stand on your head and speak French or whatever Jesus loves you..... He is not interested in how amazing you are at any skill He's interested in YOU as a person. He sees your heart. He made you! I know this may seem a shock but look in the mirror and think of how well you are made. You were made with love. We have our flaws and Jesus wants us to turn to Him in all of this....He's good.

      He died for you because we all have a debt (sin) with Him that stops us from having a relationship with The Father.. but by taking it all on Hinself He paid the price for you. You have to come to Him and receive this gift by faith in Him. He will wash you clean and give you a new heart. You will have different desires. The hold the enemy now has on you will be broken and you will be able to Follow Jesus.

      It's amazing. I did it. I tried everything else then He was waiting for me to come to Him. I am so glad I finally did. It was the best choice I have ever made

    hi,

    I know it's been two years. I hope things have improved. I know exactly how you feel or felt. Until three years ago things changed I realise that I was created by God and loved and that he sent his only son Jesus, To die for me. To pay my debt to God that was preventing me from knowing Him because my sin was so great. We all have done wrong things, evil things. This stops us from knowing God personally. He knew this and be, and because of His great love for us He sent Jesus to die in our place to take our punishment on Himself. Without Jesus we don't have hope. He loves you so much and He died so that He can know you, you have to come to Him and ask for forgiveness 10 from your wrongdoing and trust only in Him. Jesus is the way The Truth and The Life

    I know this is is a super late reply. But I just wanted to say even as a Christian I go through huge bouts of feeling worthless and useless and feel like a nobody. Infact I feel like I'm just a voice and customer to hold someone who is completely worth everything, God. There's a verse in the Bible that says apart from God I can do nothing. Satan can easily take that verse and make it sound totally negative which he has with me. It sounds like I'm absolutely worth nothing and can can do nothing good without Him. Therefore it makes me feel like a costume. However that's exactly what the devil wants is for us to feel like we amount to nothing and there's no point in us living. Don't listen to his lies! God created every part of you in your mother's womb. Every part of your personality, every physical feature, including the parts you label as weird and wonder why are you like that. The verse "Apart from Me you can do nothing" means that He's always with us, constantly at our side fighting every trial if we invited Him into our heart. It means apart from His love ourselves and Satan will cause us, convince us to kill ourselves, completely give up on everything. So basically in a nut shell...He is our Helper! If it wasn't for Him I would be dead. You are worth so much to Him and he wants you to see His worth. Without His help you'll never see it just like I would never see my worth without Him. Even with a husband and a baby on the way...no matter how much worth they see in me if I don't see it, if I don't realize it then I will never feel like I'm a somebody. God is the only One who can cause me to see my worth. But it doesn't happen over night and like I said I still struggle with it.

    I'm 24 and I have social phobia and agoraphobia, depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There's millions like us that feel and think the same if we all somehow got together we wouldn't be alone.smile Dont listen to the bad thoughts you are having it's the depression talking. Get help talk to your family if you have them if not talk to a therapist they will be able to help you. Stop saying you are useless you are NOT useless you have a job. Be Graceful and think about all the good things you have. Smile you're young don't let time pass by and live with regrets when you get older. Make the best of each day. Enjoy Life try to make small talk. It's the little things you do that will help you with your Social Anxiety. I feel the same way I am a socially awkward person and I just don't know what to say to strangers I always think I will mess up so I just rather come off as rude to them and I avoid them at all costs. It's better that way. I always let everyone down. I can't even kill myself I've tried twice and just ended up in the hospital. Life is difficult. Some people ask, "Why would you consider suicide for a temporary problem."My problem is not temporary it's permanent. My Generalized Anxiety Disorder and depression are the problem. There's no other life than this one. This is the only one we get. It's been two years since you wrote this so I do hope your Life is alot better now and you are not feeling down anymore.smile
