So good at helping everyone but myself- I can pull out the stops to help any one of my friends but the second i fail it’s just ‘oh I should just kms I’m worthless’ I actively discourage my friends from feeling this way why am I such a failure

You see yourself as undeserving of that same care and attention, subconsciously. It takes a long time to unlearn

I tend to feel like all I need is like a partner to help me with this, but I dont think I’m even worth dragging someone else down with me I think I’m awesome and good at what I do sometimes, but then I just flip to feeling awful

Certainly don’t offload all of your struggles onto a partner, but there’s nothing wrong with seeking out someone supportive

I mean in all previous relationships I’ve been the person who struggles were offloaded to, so idk anymore I’ve been venting to my friends a ton and it’s actually ruining my image, I just keep wishing I could wake up and be fixed
