Long answer: It just goes to show that you can't beat an internal problem with external validation, no matter how convincing it would be to the average onlooker. If your self-image/self-worth is low, you have to challenge that assumption internally first. Our (often skewed) perception is way more convincing than it should be.

Short answer: don't try to evaluate your life when sleepy

Yeah some times I get in a kind of way and my friends will be super kind and supportive to me. It helps for a bit but then I go right back to it. Perpetuates the guilt of why I don't think I'm a good person to them because I always end up back to the bad place, which feels like a burden to others.

I'm super anxious about it, but for the first time in my life I'm trying out an SSRI. So we'll see.

I thought he met a nice girl he liked, he was playing games with his friend, they all hung out and his friend and the girl crushed on each other, and now he feels unloved by both of them
