There isn't a positive thing about me, and yet WP members, as well as individuals off the Net, are fond of me? I posted a thread in Random Discussion begging them to tell me that I'm worthless. They refused, but it was the truth.

you have a mentality that won't let you win. It is a defense mechanism because you don't feel good enough. But I am here to tell you that you ARE good enough. See, we care about you. There are people that actually do love you even if they don't know you. That is what the world is about. Helping people out when they need a hand.

I think every human being deserves to be treated with respect, even if I'm not of the same opinion as them. To me, you seem to be deeply troubled by various issues and that makes me feel that I should give to you what little support I can give to you. Even if you feel unloved or deficient, I still think that there are things about you that make you a unique and precious person; you might just not be able to see them yourself.

WP is intended as a place where we can give each other support and advice and I hope that you will find something here that can at least ameliorate your emotional troubles. I wish nobody anything bad and I certainly wish for people as troubled by their life as you are that they find some peace of mind and support.

I dunno, maybe because you are likeable? I think part of it is that you are so open about your feelings, and we can all understand that. No tricks, no guessing games. You are very human. So when you say "Tell me I'm worthless" we get that. We've all been there.

You have good qualities that are apparent to other people, but your low self-esteem won't let you acknowledge said qualities. I know how it is because my younger brother is the exact same way.

We are with each other through the good and the bad.

You are NOT worthless, and as the others said, you are very human and we have all been there and got the T Shirt.

I am looking forward to the day when we share positive things but am glad we can help through the bad at the moment.

'Cause I like you? Just because you don't like you or see anything positive in yourself, does not mean we don't. Everyone is an individual. We think differently, we act different, we see different. I don't see anything to dislike in you, other than the negativity, but I can see past that.

I don't quite know how you can not like yourself, but we all like you. :D

Well, you certainly more interesting that most teenagers, and also those moments you felt guilty show you got a good heart.

You should stop to beat yourself up like that, that can only make feel yourself worse.

Do you not wanna be likeable? Are you use to people saying you're worthless?

I know what you feel. Obviously, we don't fit in, and we probably never will. What saves us is we are candid, usually more mature than our age group and calm by nature.
then, If you're lucky enough to be good looking, WHAM BAM peeps are gonna like you.

get used to it, and get used to the fact that people will like you, express it in various ways, all the while YOU know that they don't really know you. They just like what you project.

except me, I like you.

and you're not worthless, stop being emo.

I can tell you are in a very depressed mood. Nothing will convince you because you think we're just trying to make you feel better when we don't really know you. But why should you be unlikable, what are the actual tangible reasons? I think you have an issue with not being good enough and no genuine self love. Perhaps this was caused by an event in childhood involving being rejected or pushed away? I had an event like this, despite otherwise great parenting and I think it's the same for most people who have an issue with loving themselves.

Here's a short exercise you can do to help with this issue:

Only because you tell yourself.
