Self-Image Help

Come on anons, I really want to get my life together...

I get that. Anytime someone says something nice I get VERY uncomfortable. I try to be confident and "alpha", but I usually quit halfway through,thinking I'm being a dick.

Does this ability to see all flaws apply to everything else in your life as well? Or is it just when you look at yourself. If its the former, you're just like me.

You're fucked buddy.

I do see flaws in everything, but I still manage to stay positive when it comes to other people and their intentions. I always think the worst about myself as well, nothing positive.

i used to be like that until i met in real life another person who was the same and realized how fucking obnoxious it is. its this smug attitude where you think you need to be absolutely the best and that relating to your peers is below your level. the failure to live up to those expectations causes feelings of low self-esteem. its like a millionaire in 2008 crying for having to sell his 2nd home while others are kicked out to live on the street. not a good look and no one feels sorry for you.

The thing is I actually feel worthless. I don't feel like I am above everyone, I feel like I am below them, like everyone is looking down on me.

You'll either work tirelessly for your whole life to resolve all your perceived flaws and become a VERY successful person, or you'll wallow in your own self-loathing until you die or kill yourself. Those are the only two paths I have found.

Damn this is all me too... compliments arent true and every failure is one i deserve. i think i have serious ptsd from constant negative reinforcements from my senpai about everything i ever chose to be from age 5-17. If i werent semi-competent at my job i would have suicided hard years ago
