I gotta say that is very helpful, thank you MariWarning: Really long. Actually it doesn't look that long now. Idk.
People are fundamentally the same. At our core, we want to validate our existence, to have and fulfill a certain purpose, and to have our existence acknowledged by others. Loneliness, the feeling that your existence means nothing, that you aren’t ‘necessary’ in anyone else’s life, is the worst pain there is.
Many people who have the basis of their existence shaken will simply give up. They will blame the world for their problems, try to escape from reality, and end up wallowing in their own sorrow and self-hatred.
This is an extremely difficult mindset to overcome, as it will always be easier to blame others and numb your pain by hiding from reality than it will be to acknowledge your shortcomings and face your problems.
It is also something that you have to do on your own. You can’t look to someone else for answers. You have to find value in your own existence, to find out what you want your purpose to be. Otherwise you’ll probably end up hating yourself forever. You shouldn’t expect other people to require your presence if you yourself can’t find a reason to exist.
This is probably pretty depressing to read, and I can say from experience that getting through to a depressed person with just words is nigh impossible. People tend to want to believe that their plight is unique, that no one else could possibly understand their pain.
Though it may seem cruel, pain is an unavoidable part of life, and those who take it in stride are able to move forward and sustain their existence, while the people who let it keep them down end up in a world of denial and regret.
There is more I can say on this topic, particularly about what I discussed in the 3rd/4th paragraph, but idk. It’s difficult to articulate. And I think that I did a good job this time.
TL;DR: Don’t hate yourself. Find value/purpose in/for your existence. I think this is one of my better ones though. Worth reading.
