Going on here, I know I would never be able to commit suicide. I’m too much of a wimp to do it, and would only be able to do so purely on impulse depending on my mood and surroundings. But I still have suicidal thoughts. I don’t know why I’m here or what my purpose is for being here. I don’t belong anywhere. Ever since I was a child, I’ve felt like an outcast. I’ve never had a clique of friends I truly belonged to, and if there was, I wasn’t important enough to be invited to hang out, I was more the person they complained to about problems. Even in my family, I feel like I don’t belong. Everyone else gets along and laughs, and then there’s me who’s like a total stranger. My parents were never really good with showing affection, but now what I hate is that I’m the same. I don’t know how to express emotions. I’m tired of keeping everything bottled up and being treated like a doll. As if I’m supposed to smile no matter what people do with me like a Barbie doll without feelings. I just want to be cared about and be significant. Instead I’m a nobody, just a stepping stone for people who need to complain or vent about their own problems. How is it possible that I care so much about others and yet, no one truly cares about me? How is that right? I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a ghost.

You are a warm, caring person with a lot to offer. I felt the same way when I was younger, but it got better around my senior year in college. I have spent a lot of my life feeling like I don’t belong. Try to be patient and get to know one or two people you can confide in. I know life seems impossible at times, but the good times make getting through the bad times worth it. I hope you feel better soon !
it sounds like you need a change of attitude. start acting differently, don’t let people use you as a stepping stone. Just don’t let yourself be used in the first place.
I’ve been the way you described all my life, I’ve let people come to me with their problems and never talked about my own. In the end people used me and were never there for me when i needed them. Unfortunately people are scumbags and once they realize that they can take something for granted, they do. Try not to let it happen and you’ll see the difference.
