I’m done. The world is a broken place that refuses to be fixed. No one has ever tried to make me happy, so me I deserve it, nothing. When everyday I constantly have to help those around me, give advice, and be motivational. When all I get in a return is arrogance. Sometimes I wonder if I ever really belong here, like really truly. All I am is a face in the crowd, who just keeps getting shoved down. I’ve been called ugly, rude, a ***** so many things I just cant count anymore. I’m done trying to have hope for a brighter future, everything just gets worse for me.

Broken_with_a_face,
I find it interesting that many people seem to coincide the lackluster state of the world with their own self-worth (believe me, I have been very guilty of this in the past myself). I do wonder why that is. It’s almost as if they blame themselves for not being able to fix everything.
I will say this – being too selfless can absolutely leave you in a shitty place in life (another thing I can speak from experience about). It’s fine to help others to an extent, but we have to take care of ourselves as well and be careful not to cross the fine line of helping someone and allowing people to take advantage of us.
If you decide you have to begin thinking more about yourself and less about others in order to be happy, I say go for it. Sometimes you just have to put yourself first. But I wouldn’t give up on having a brighter future because of the attitudes of other people. That’s not fair to you.
