Will I ever be enough?

0

I’m fairly young right now but it seems like no matter what I do I’m still not good enough. I get 80%-90% in school, I’m a great stilt walker, my martial arts instructor always lets me teach when he can’t and I try at be understanding and kind to everyone. Yet at home all I hear is how I could be better, because that’s what they have time to tell me. At school my friends aren’t really interested in the things I have to say, often times they don’t let me finish sentences and exclude me in discussions. Yes my teachers say I’m a wonderful student but all I hear from most everyone else is how annoying I am and how there busy. I was just kinda wondering if I’d ever be worth my friends and famlilys time? And what I need to do to get there.

You are enough now. You are enough as you are. Your worth is not lesser for those who do not see it. Your worth is inherent in just being. You don't need to earn the time or attention of those who claim to be your family and friends. You are enough.

You're definitely worth their time already- you're clearly a kind person who makes a lot of effort in everything- those are some great accomplishments there already! Trust that you're good enough, because you are- if they say that you have to be better, then that's their issue, not yours, as well-meaning as they may be.I know it's difficult, but it sounds like that the thing that'll help you the most is learning not to worry about what other people think about you- do things your own way, live by the beat of your own drum without worrying if others pay attention to you or not- because, trust me, once you understand this and start living more freely in this way, they will automatically want your attention- if you try too hard in any kind of relationship with another person, then they may naturally try less, because they feel they don't need to. Stop trying so hard, and they'll put more effort into interacting with you.Best of luck, and keep being kind- the world needs people like you more than any other.

Sometimes people have difficulty properly communicating how they feel. When they're telling you to try harder, it could be their way of giving you support and saying you're doing well, and want you to keep progressing.
You are obviously very talented. I think your friends are scared to talk to you because they won't know what to say. I usually find that when people don't like someone, or they don't want to have anything to do with us, it's because they're jealous. They want what you have.
You should be proud of yourself, you're doing an amazing job.

You seem like a hard worker and an achiever. Are you not proud of those things that you have accomplished ? I would focus on the good positive things and leave out those negatives because you dont deserve that at all. And if i were you I would think about getting some new friends because friends are supposed to be there for you even if you are annoying ( Im saying this in the kindest way possible) friends are supposed to accept the bad sides of you even if others dont like it. From what you have said you work pretty well and I think any family would die to have a child/sibling like you ( I personally would!) , if your family is still yknow putting you down saying you could be better I would tell them " I am proud of what I am doing and if its not good enough for you I am sorry " , other than that dont let people bring you down ! Youre you and no one will be better at that than you, they are below you and they just want to bring you down. Keep up the good work though!! cause i mean really if you look like 5 to 10 years from now whos going to be successful? YOU ARE !!! not those mean people who criticize you
