sorry to hear that!
i think almost everyone has felt like that at one point or another, and it most definitely hurts...but it's important to just keep going... prove them wrong  (and fyi, i don't know you, but don't think you sound worthless  )

I kinda feel that way now.
not necessarily 'not good enough', more like i won't meet the expectations of a certain individual. |

Yes.
Everyday. Its just important to keep on going though, coz in the end you will find someone who makes you feel good enough. You will achieve something and be proud of yourself and might not even need to be told you are worth something. It just takes time. |

Everyone feels this way sometimes. I used to feel like I wasn't good enough for people more often, but in the past few weeks I haven't thought about it. If anything, don't ever let a guy make you feel like you're not good enough for him. If he does, he's the one who's not good enough for you.

Yeah definitely!
My parents they use to compare my cousins to me, or themselves when they were my age. It has stopped for now but, I just feel horrible when I'm put into a situation like that. My boyfriend, Not really but times when we're with friends and they talk or do things that I don't know, i feel really singled out and yeah :/ But I can deal, I have good qualities that I like and other people who are j about em. |

yeah, i have my insecurities at times. i work extremely hard in whatever way i can in order to not disappoint my family, but mostly my parents. i'm never all that insecure about making friends, however. i feel pretty confident when it comes to communicating and meeting new people. before and even at the beginning of my relationship, i did have a LOT of insecurities, but not because of him. they're because of myself. even now, i feel a little insecure, but he makes things better. lol soo i don't feel that way really towards anyone except for my family. [: but that just gives me motivation to keep trying in order to be good enough.

All the time. My family nick-named me "fatty" so now I think that I'm too fat, and thats why guys don't like me.
It has lead to some eating disorders....

You think your to fat because someone said something? You can't take everything to heart like that, or your going to go down a very sad and lonely path filled with feelings of worthlessness and self-pity, I couldn't even imagine what I would be like if I took what everyone said to heart and acted on it  And as for guys not liking you, is that based on the fact that guys seriously come up to you and say I don't like you because your fat, or do you tell yourself that so much that you actually start to believe it and avoid romance all together? |

I have times when I feel like I suck at life, and other times when I feel on top of the world. But who hasn't had those moments when you feel like nothing but a meaningless speck?
Life goes on, and if you work hard you can prove anyone who thinks you're nothing wrong. |

Yeah, I've learned to tune them out and that you should never let anyone bring you down if you're being the best person you can be, even if they're your parents. :)
They always compare me to someone else, like my cousin or my best friend. Like.. "She's so pretty and skinny and smart and you're the complete opposite" or if I come home with a 97 on my report card, she'll shrug it off and be like, "Could've done better." |
