19M. feel like i'm not anyone's first choice, insecure, semi-depressed for months.
Sorry this is gonna be a bit long.
I feel like i'm not really anyone's first choice, it feels like i'm just a convenience or just useful for other people. it's not that i don't have friends, there's been times i felt so alone cause to most people i'm just there and it genuienly made me so feel depressed (i was scrolling su*cidal reels for a bit) i've learnt over time to just depend on myself and i never call someone my best friend cause it just disappoints me every time.
For people who've been here, how did you love yourself? I struggle with self worth and feeling loved a bit. I'm 19 but I feel 16 emotionally, life is moving so fast and I feel so out of place and behind. My career looks fine on paper, i'm finishing second year uni at 19 but this year's been tough and i'm falling off and my whole identity is collapsing too. I spent so much time working that i neglected my hobbies and the other side of my life. I'm not great at socialising or finding real friends and i've never been on a date before. I hardly manage to like anyone and I've only managed to catch feelings for my best friend which ruined so many things.
Does anyone have any advice? thanks.
