The only thing that life has taught me is this. It isn’t worth it. I’m not worth it. The only reason that I’m still alive is because I’m afraid that there’s even one person out there who will care and be hurt. But I want to die because I’m hurting everyone around me. I’ve always been taught that a friend is someone who stands by others and helps them solve their problems without ever, ever putting their own on another person. There was a time when I actually thought maybe that isn’t true. Only now anyone I’ve even tried to talk to has just pushed me away and stopped talking to me. So what’s the point is my question. I get it life, you don’t want me around. I get it people, you don’t want me to keep messing up. I get it family, you’re so sick of me ruining the perfect family image. I fucking get it world. So why can’t I just do everyone around me a favor and stop putting my problems on them permanently. If I were a person who deserves to stay alive then I would be able to solve my problems by myself, like everyone else can. And yet I’m weak and I can’t. So please, if there is some greater power, why haven’t you ended me yet?

Please believe you are worth something in this world life may seem hard for you right now but hopefully it will get better I’m not going to say that everything is going to be okay because I hate when people tell me that because in life sometimes its not okay. I get what your saying about the friend thing I feel that way all the time even though they push you away they still care deep down inside they just don’t know how to help maybe is what I feel at times. everything you’ve said makes so much since I get you and feel how you feel I’ve been through it only advice I can give is to let your problems take its course and you handle them the way they should be and not have other people stressing you out life will one day get better for you I hope but im someone who is here to talk and to listen.
You idiot! Of course you need to put weight on others!! First of all, if that statement you made was true, you’d never have friend. If a friend only helps others but isn’t a burden at all, then the people putting burdens on you arent your friends, but your being a friend to them. That means your all alone. And then that means you wont place weight on anyone else you see as a friend, so you cant get help when you need it from the people closest to you!
That’s a terribly thought-out definition of friendship.
We’re all burdens. We need to be, we’re social creatures. The trick is to balance how much of a burden we are, and grow stronger in ourselves so that we wont always be a giant burden so it’s more manageable for others and we are strong enough to help them too. But we will always be a burden at some point, and that’s okay. That’s good! Hell, some people would give anything to have a burden! That means someone needs them, and they can be useful and helpful and have a sense of purpose. That’s a bit of an extreme case, but, burdens aren’t bad! We need them, just as much as we need to be one.
As for feeling like life is poking you with a stick and saying “do you get it yet? just leave!” while torturing you over and over~ that’s relatable. And only staying because you don’t want to harm others… Also relatable. But that’s surviving. That’s being alive. That ISN’T living, and you should be striving to live, not to die. I haven’t gotten there yet. I’m still thinking, deciding. Too damaged, and not ready. So I’m just alive. Sometimes we need time, but we should all at least start taking small steps towards really living.
As for people who don’t want you around… Well, I’m a random person on the net who wants you here. So surely there are others. You’re worth a lot more than you think. You have no idea what kind of impact you truly have on the world, because you’re blinded by your position in it. But, it’s significant.

Firstly the answer is not what the question looks like. I read this yesterday and thought of sharing this link with you because for the first time I read a quora answer where a random stranger on the internet who doesn’t know me is telling me I’m important. Everytime someone gives me arguments like “you are loved” “here is a hotline you can call” “no you cant do that I would be devastated” it really annoys me because a random person online will never know whether i am loved or even nice for the matter also calling even 10 hotlines will not help because at the end of the day they will never feel what i feel or go through my circumstance so all that phone call will be is a pretentious conversation of someone acting like they care. Also isnt it selfish how someone can place their prerogative of not feeling hurt over the other’s opinion of wanting to die. Like if they really cared about the other’s pain they would prolly help out right. Anyway you should read it I think.
*is not telling me that I am important because she doesn’t know me (5th line)
