happy birthday @Catherine21 hope you have a lovely day ❤️
I also have spent my whole life feeling not good enough, anything I do is wrong! Although it seems to be grained into my brain so it’s my own stupid thoughts causing me to think that way, but also lot of the time it is other toxic relationships that make me feel this way, always criticising me and making me feel stupid. I am also so ridiculously hard n judgmental on myself in everything yet wen it comes to other ppl i have compassion n understanding for them, no judgement or harsh thought for them but never no kind words or compassion for myself

Thankyou it's so hard isn't it I can remember being 3 years old and hating myself always looking at my friends and thinking why cant I be like them always over pleasing suffering inside it actually caused my body dismorphia I can't even look in mirror properly no one could ever imagine how we suffer my way of coping is total isolation and days like today do alot of reflection on my own as I can't face company anymore so hard trying to fit in and always feeling the ugly duckling and when I know people feel the way I do it breaks my heart because I know the pain it brings have you had therapy I've had loads still didn't absorb it I think we feel to much we are like sponges absorbing everything energy body language tone of voice I think I've accepted myself more than when I was younger I don't yearn for relationships friendships it was so hard when I did I'm so sorry your feeling the same I agree it is stamped on the brain the mind never stops x

I think having a kind heart in a cruel world imagine if everyone was neurodivergent the world what a kind loving world it would be

thanks @Catherine21 i had same feelings from extremely young age too, I used to look at my siblings and cousins & I couldn’t understand how they were just living life just doing normal things, I just didn’t know how to do that, I’m stuck in my head constantly thinking where do I fit in, anything I do is sooo much effort, anytime I would have relationship with someone they always end up leaving me out, or just cut me off for no reason, I’d spend days/months making myself ill trying to understand what I have done wrong! I always get left out of everything, it was always me that was always picked on & practical joke played on. Ppl know I am sensitive yet they keep doing awful things to me, I don’t see them treating other ppl in same way they treat me. I too feel more content when I am completely isolated no one around to hurt me no stress or headaches because of ppl being fine with me one min then completely cut me off next. Unfortunately I crave relationships with certain family & friends so I mourn for the loss of that. Only problem is I cut these ppl outa my life and then all it takes is a text or phone call from them & I get sucked back in, I think their my friend and turns out they just wanted to use me and I’m back to feeling awful and hating myself n my crappy life over again
