I'm Over It (Life) ....

[ItsJustAnotherGuy]

Why bother with life? Everything I do is a failure, people set high standards for me that I always fall short of...

My life has no importance to this world.. why continue living it?/

[Fiending_the_freedom]

fuck people.
make YOURSELF happy.
no based on what you should feel happy about compared to what others feel happy about you.
do what YOU want to do.
YOU have to live your life so do what will make your life good, not what other people want.

[whiterecyclables94]

instead of focusing on the things you fail at. Instead focus on the things that make you happy.....IF you dont know what makes you happy then sit down and find out ! and just like Fiending_the_freedom said ^^^^ "fuck people make YOURSELF happy" use the things that you like to do to make you happy!

High standards - Where's the need to meet them? Big deal if you get all A's in school. Congrats your parents are happy.

Worthless? No. Nobody is worthless. There's someone who would be destroyed if you were gone. I guarantee there's at least 1 person who would honestly be hurt to the point where they couldn't function.

You're keeping someone going, and you just need to find something to keep you going.

But how do I figure out what makes me happy?

Everything that once gave me joy and happiness doesn't anymore.. its just another *activity*...

[Fiending_the_freedom]

classic sign of depression,
maybe you want to talk to your doctor and see if you need anti depressants?

[ItsJustAnotherGuy]

No, I don't want to involve other people.. i'm trying to get through this by myself (with the help of you guys and a good friend)

[Fiending_the_freedom]

well ok try that, but sometimes we do need to step up and admit the problem is bigger than us.

[Hyper]

Well good luck trying.

Straight honest advice

You live your life for yourself not for other people, other peoples expectations come to play when you care about those people and when fulfilling those expectations will protect the people you care about

Pretty cliche and basic.

As for depression if the things that made you happy don't anymore, you are depressed and you need to see a professional

''Getting through'' real depression is not achievable by yourself and the shoulder of your friend

Please speak to someone who knows depression, Trust me on this one trying to go it alone will only make it worse in the end.

[whiterecyclables94]

hyper and thesphinx are right in order to get over depression you need someone who understands it and who understands it better than people that are paid to help people "get over it"

[Removed]

Find something that is enjoyable 4 u don't listen other ppl figuring out what makes u happy is just ... Do something and see if it interests u

[With.My.Radio]

Who cares what other people think?

There's a feeling of freedom you get when you decide to live your life for YOURSELF and no one else.

If you fall short of people's high standards, tell them "Who cares? I set my OWN standards."

If you decide to get help and go to a school counselor or someone you trust, even a friend, remind yourself that you are doing it for YOU, because you are the most important person in your life and you come first.

I know I sound like a motivational speaker here, and I'm sorry lol. But I'm telling you this because I know what it's like to feel worthless and not good enough like you are feeling. And thinking about myself as number one and not caring what people want from me is what helped me. I hope it helps you too.
