Growing up, I often felt worthless. People rarely took me seriousl at school, with friends, or even in casual conversations, it was like my words didn’t carry any weight. No matter how hard I tried to prove myself, I was constantly met with doubt or indifference, which chipped away at my confidence bit by bit.

What hurt the most was being let down by the people I trusted the most. Instead of lifting me up, I was constantly criticized called lazy, not smart enough, told I wouldn’t make anything of myself. That kind of stuff sticks with you. I still remember crying myself to sleep after a bad argument with my mom, feeling like I was completely useless. I stopped caring about school and just sort of checked out for a while. It took me years to get out of that headspace. The one person who always had my back, though, was my dad. He used to tell me he was proud of me no matter what, and that I didn’t need to prove anything to anyone. I really miss him he always knew how to give solid advice and make me feel seen. I wish I could be like him so day. He is a good man and even better father

if you had constant negative reinforcement in your formative years it’s over.

The best way to show your worth to them is by achieving way more than what they would expect

Hmm, i have a pretty good father as well. I would have probably end up in jail or dead in a ditch, if i was born in a abusive household.
