Am I worth anything?

0

I’m a 17 year old male who feels constantly lonely and worthless. I’m lonely because I’ve never felt like anyone really cares about me. I feel worthless, because I feel like if I died tomorrow, no one would care at all. I try to help people all the time, but no one I help cares. I know that helping is good no matter what, but what if I’m never actually helping anyone? What if I’m just a bother that everyone puts up with. I feel like everyone is just trying to be nice to me, whenever they’re not super mean to me. It’s happened so much and for so long that now I believe that I deserve it. I often feel like I deserve death or worse too.

Hey Phoenix,

@Immortals is right, set a goal and don't let go. It works wonders if you want to bring change in your life.
More on topic, do you have anyone that you talk to in real life on a regular basis? It could be a good chance to be straight forward and ask him/her why they think people are being mean to you, despite your best efforts.
Do you feel that you need to help others in order for them to stop being mean? If so, they are most likely taking advantage of you, knowing you don't bite back when the fun is up.

Ask yourself if you really want to help those people and be true to yourself. Stop wasting energy on those who do not care to give back the same. Being alone for a while and taking care of yourself beats being brought down by others any day of the week. So again, ask yourself what you really want and save your energy for the people that'll come along that will genuinely care about you. You're still young, the world around you changes incredibly fast and in ways you can't even imagine. Don't lose hope, stay true to who you are and remove the bad people from your life, the good ones will come.

Good luck!

YOU ARE WORTH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. No matter what happens, don't you ever think you are not worth something. Every now and then you just need to set out time for yourself. Surround yourself in what makes you truly happy. YOU ARE WANTED AND YOU ARE LOVED.
