Feeling worthless

Do you ever feel worthless and wonder why you were put on this Earth?

Sorry you feel like that sunflower, personally Ive never feel like that.

All the time. I feel like if I was put on this Earth, the least I could have been given was some potential so I could make a life for myself and do something that I actually find interesting, and so I could be attractive to someone.

But I feel like I wasn't given any ability or anything appealing about me. I feel like I was given a life, but one that I can't do anything with because I don't feel like I have any potential. And this has made it hard for me to get interested in anything or feel more than apathy and a desire for distraction. I feel stuck in unhappiness, and it's hard to see any way out.

Sometimes yes.

BUT, I feel like I was put on this earth to be a go between for my parents. I kept the family together. I was an unexpected (rape) pregnancy. When I went into the military the family completely broke apart. Then later on I took care of my mom, dad, and grandparents all seperately. After they all passed I figured I fullfilled my purpose in life and the rest of the time was for me. Although, at the time, I figured it was my time to leave this place too. But, I eventually got past that.

Thanks

I've felt worthless at times, years ago it was kind of a common theme. As to why I'm here, I don't know, but I keep an eye out in case the universe gives me a sign, preferably a large and very obvious one, like a brick to the head kind of obvious. But not an actual brick, that honeysuckle hurts.

I wouldn't say I feel worthless all the time. I know I'm fairly intellectual, can be funny/witty and overall a decent person. It's just a shame that others don't seem to recognise these traits in me. That fact alone, is enough to make me feel pretty worthless at times. When I do feel that way, I hit an almighty low which takes a lot of time and self reflection to come back from. It can be quite exhausting.

I guess I never wondered why I was put here. I just knew that I didn't belong here. It is just all to alien to me.

You're here to type words, that then make sentences. Or was that life? Cause...no, I'm no prophet on a mountain top. And why a mountain top? Wouldn't that be super cold?

Not if it's an active volcano.....

I think everyone feels that way at some point in their life.

We talk about this in this article: https://www.alonelylife.com/threads/for-women-♡♡♡.42734/
Hope this helps! Much love!

I wonder it all the time. I am essentially worthless by all accepted metrics, but I have decided that this is OK, because we weren't put here for any purpose whatsoever... we're just a cosmic accident.

Not usually. But strangely (and only in the last few years), if I watch a show on TV about space and the universe, it triggers a deep-seated and uncomfortable sense of pointlessness in me. . . almost like an existential crisis. To the point that I purposely avoiding watching these kinds of shows. This is somewhat puzzling to me as the subject of the universe and astronomy has always fascinated me. Perhaps this is an age thing? The older I get, the closer I am to my own mortality. . .

It's amazing how much I relate to this comment. My thoughts exactly.

I do at times, more so as I age.

Your worth is self-worth, not what society or hollywood defines as worthy.

That's true. But, we inherently gauge ourselves by how others react to us. We are a heard animal and generally want to conform. When we dont or see others not conforming we pressure them to be "normal." We are easily controlled by others that know how to use that.

If we could all break away from the heard mentallity, as some successful do, things would be very different.

Yeah, all the time. I’ve accepted the fact that I may never do anything grand that I will be remembered for, so I just live for the simplier things.
