Low self-esteem and relationships with other people
Depression Support / by anintroverted

...See more The answer to this question it's probably obvious for some people, but I'm completely oblivious. So, I was talking to a friend of mine about my insecurities and "showing" how low I was feeling and how low my self-esteem actually is. Now, he says something along the lines of "do you say these things to people you care about?" and I might be horrible for this, but I really don't understand. Like, do my insecurities and self-esteem affect others negatively? I don't know how else to ask this. I could understand it bugs people and sometimes they don't even want to listen to me complain about it (because yes, in a way it seems I complain so much). But really, does it affect others as bad? And like why especially the ones that I care about? I'm sorry for being so oblivious about it.
Could I be making my mental health worse?

...See more Talking with a friend of mine about my issues, he told me that I should stop saying "I'm a piece of shit" and that I have a shitty personality to myself. He also said, that I'm a good person despite thinking that, and that I should have more confidence in myself and in my actions. Now, sometimes I realize I do this and just bring myself down even more. And the thing is, I don't know the reason behind it. I make sure I isolate myself and not talk to my friends, (it has been months since I've last talked to my "best friend") and actually portray myself as a mean, bad person. I guess he said that, because I act in an awful way towards him. I guess despite everything I do deserve to be alone. What my "question" is, could I be making my mental health worse by acting this way? Is it some sort of coping mechanism? Or am I just a toxic, awful person with no chance of redemption because I just spiral down into worse places?
