2) Community Questions and Answers - The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support

@ComfortingNutella2030

I love your style of writing, the encouragement, and the use of the phrase "inner critic"

Maybe add a tip on improving communication with others :)

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

When you are feeling not good enough for someone know that your self worth do not depend on other people's opinion of you.

Always affirm yourself that you are more than enough.

The person you see in the mirror every day deserve to be happy and loved.

The person who let you feels that you are not enough might be also going tough times affirm them as well.

@emotionalCurrent5586 Hello!

I love that your style in answering the questions is direct/straightforward. It makes the reader easier to understand your points which is great.

Maybe elaborating more about your points will be a good idea to do. It'll make your points clearer and more well explained.

For me, a content is not solely based on points we're stating. It also includes how well we are with our words and explanation of it. Our content will be black and white but the words will make it colourful and beautiful to be read.

Keep going. I still your simplicity and straightforwardness and I'm sure you can make the most out of it. All the best for your journey throughout the program :)

@emotionalCurrent5586

i love that you summarize and tell the points in an easy way to understand but i feel you should expand your points more and put more info on the topic !! i really love the way you write don't get me wrong but it would be much better if you expanded on the topic

What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

Feeling like you’re not good enough for someone is often the real reason many people self-destruct. It can be difficult to know your self worth when your inner critic is ruining your self- confidence. The first step to overcome this is by eliminating the influence of social media. In the current society, social media is the main cause of self esteem issues. At the end of the day reducing social media use will increase how you feel about yourself as you will not be comparing yourself to the unrealistic portrayals of body image as set by influencers and celebrities. Family members and partners can be another reason you feel you aren’t good enough. Often they think they are doing the right thing and are promoting healthy relationships by informing you of things that may be lacking, however they don't realise the irreversible damage it can do to your self- confidence. Communication in this sense is key to explaining how it makes you feel and then determine the best way to approach the conversation.

1. Good use of SEO.

2. Your answer is realistic. It's true that a lot of people don't have supportive family and I think most articles/answers pretend otherwise. I like that you took it in the other direction. That's brave.

3. Your answer is concise.

One tip for improvement is to write in the active voice, since it's more powerful.

Unfortunately, we can often tear our own self-esteem apart with negative self-talk. We judge our own self-worth by what we see on social media, and sometimes it feels like we don't stack up. There's no one best way to calm your inner-critic, but it might help to pause for a moment and take stock about who you are. What makes you special? What do you do well? Maybe you can sing and dance. Maybe you're an excellent chef in the kitchen. Maybe you're amazing at showing compassion for others. Maybe you're a rock star in the office, or you're the most dependable friend ever. It's true that all human beings have flaws, but it's also true that all human beings have amazing qualities as well - and you're no different! At the end of the day, you can tame that self-doubt by reminding yourself of all your good qualities.

@GoldenNest2727

Do you think it's too Pollyanna? It's possible.

@GoldenNest2727 I like how you have a motivational tone to your writing here. I would try to edit in some more keywords, but this is a great start.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Thanks for the tip! About how many keywords is a good amount to add within a 100 word - 150 word paragraph? I'm not sure how much is too much (keyword stuffing) and how much is too little. Do you have a basic guideline that you like to loosely follow?

@GoldenNest2727 very good point! To avoid keyword stuffing we try to increase the content length (always up to you and in general Q&As are not very length, a maximum of 2 paragraphs) alongside trying to space the keyword additions into sentences that also leverage quality perspectives/points usually helps. The Q&A tasks that are provided both in this Program activity/future team tasks (Content Volunteer Team) are usually provided to offer a balanced opportunity and not overdo it. When doing your own keyword research for articles/any other content tasks, I recommend sticking to the top 15 to help guide the flow of writing/editing.

I used to be very insecure and feel like I was not needed by anyone in my family because I had my elder brother who was exceptional in his studies. He had so many talents I didn't have, and many qualities I wished I possessed, growing up with that I felt I couldn’t compete and that I wasn’t good enough, As well as growing up in the age of social media, being haunted with other people's thoughts about you, our self worth lies on the thoughts of other people about us, and having self-doubt and having to question your self worth and having low self-esteem, it’s a time when I had to really learn to take the first step in knowing that my whole life I needed the self-confidence and needed a healthy relationship with my family and myself and stop the negative self-talk end of the day I realized that I need to have time with myself and realize that I am an amazing and unique person that loves myself.

@iwishuwell

The personal experience point of view that was delivered in a conversational tone made the paragraph friendly and easy to read.

You successfully incorporated the keywords in a nice flow and I especially like the self-compassion at the end. Great tips!

Constructive feedback: adding expert view, or published studies from a reliable source that supports your paragraph can increase the reliability in you Q&A answer.

All in all, great writing! ⭐

@iwishuwell

Use of the key words, providing your own experience and being empathetic was awesome!

One tip would be to perhaps, shortening the experience or use of "I" phrases to focus on the member more. 

@MarinaLecubet

Great tips in there. A thought reframing from "I am not good enough for this person" to "Is this person good for me", surely will make a difference.

Additionally, self-care and self-discovery are indeed ingredients for healthy self-love.

Constructive feedback: perhaps consider the flow from what is the problem, how it may affect us to what are alternative solutions, and add a reliable source to improve the delivery and conciseness.

All in all, great job! 💜

@MarinaLecubet

I love the number of keywords that you incorporated! And I am really inspired by this quote that you included, this is really well said: "At the end of the day no one will look out for ourselves except for us." Moreover, you have laid out many questions to provoke thoughtful reflections that can be beneficial to someone that is only seeing the negatives!

It seems like more research can be made to consolidate your response,

Question: what to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone? This is the most common question that we all human beings ask at one point in our lives. Although this is most common question but it is also most unanswered one. It takes lot of courage to ask this question and at the same time confront our feelings. Believe me it is not easy at all. And I am really glad that you are taking efforts to make your life more beautiful. Life is like a rollercoaster it can be make you self-confident at one movement and at the same time can lead you to self -doubt at the very next movement. Life is not easy. Our inner critic can be really harsh sometimes. Especially when we are dealing with our self-esteem. There are times that these thoughts become overbearing and we just want to get rid of them. It can be overwhelming. But a good news is that there is solution for everything. Like, we can look deep down ourself and ask why I am feeling like this. Or we can use one if the greatest gifts given to us living beings i.e communication. Communicate with the person and talk about your feelings, doubts etc. It is like a bridge which fills empty spaces. Sometimes maybe our parents, family members, partners, may not understand us or we don't feel like sharing with them due to various reasons. Then maybe you can talk to anonymous listeners at 7cup . And if you are still not satisfied and think that you need to talk to some expert like therapist then go ahead. You can find therapists at 7cup also. Never feel ashamed of your feelings and don't bottle them up. It is not good and and also not healthy for our mental state. We all are different and unique in ourself. Be what you are and don't be afraid of judgement. You can also try to thing positively. I know it's the hardest thing to do when your inner critic is clawing at you. But it's is only you who can do it. Negative self- talk will never take you anywhere and will cause more harm only. Maybe you can try setting goals like changing every negative statment into positive one. Remember one thing everything takes time and it is not an overnight process. There maybe times when you feel like giving up or failing but it's okay. Till the time you are trying and motivating yourself you are successful. Because, at the end of the day it is only you who can actually make the difference.

@Vallabhibirdie

That's an empathetic answer with many good points to note, Valla. You exceed the minimum number of characters, words and have incorporated some of the given keywords nicely.

For constructive feedback, perhaps you can try to add more keywords and deliver your message more concisely. There are also many writing tools available that can help in your future writings.

All in all, great job!

@ouiCherie Thank you for your feedback. I will definitely work on these points,.

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

We are much better collectors of our weaknesses than our strengths. Oftentimes, we love someone so much that they become so bright in our eyes, and when looking at ourselves, we see that we are not as bright. Standing next to someone so bright will elongate our shadow, and when we look at ourselves, that’s all that we can see. It is natural that we feel anxious to lose someone so important to us, and the more afraid we are, the more negative thoughts we have on ourselves and the relationship. Our parents, children, significant others and family members will love you the way you love them! Once in a while, we would doubt our self-worth when compared to the images we see on social media. Leading to negative self-talk, self-doubt and inner criticism, which can damage our self-esteem. Communication is an essential step in keeping a healthy relationship. It is important to let the other person know how you feel about the relationship and what you would like to see change. Keep in mind that everyone is a star!

@29amy Hi Amy! This is amazing content. The 3 things I noticed that you have done correctly are 1) using an empathic and yet professional tone, 2) exceptional incorporation of the keywords, 3) following the standard length. It is a really good read.

I think just for a tiny tiny improvement, I would suggest that you can also add some personal anecdotes.

Anyhow, you did amazingly!

@29amy

It's very good, you used key words and were relatable. The main thing I like is how you are using empowering words and key phrases. Something you should improve is that the sentences are very wordy.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Soul, loved the activity! Thanks a lot 💜

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

Provided Keywords: parents, partner, self-esteem, social media, self-worth, good news, best way, first step, human beings, children, therapy, self-love, family members, better person, good time, good luck, inner critic, self-doubt, negative self-talk, real reason, whole life, amazing person, self-confidence, voice, right thing, healthy relationship, great things, information, communication, end of the day

I thank you for taking the first step in finding your voice and posing this question. The feeling of not being good enough for someone is a usual giveaway of low self-esteem and self-insufficiency. And it may originate from a lot of things like the unrealistic standards set by social media or being unable to stand up to the expectations of your parents, partner, or children. As human beings, at some point, all these factors may activate your inner critic, which generates negative self-talk and self-doubt. And by no means is any form of self-deprecation easy to sit through.

The good news is that it is always a good time to start looking for the best way to be a better person for yourself. Practicing self-love is an applaudable stride in helping raise self-confidence and self-esteem. Self-worth can be recognized and stabilized by clear communication of information and interpersonal boundaries to maintain a healthy relationship with your family members, choosing to do the right thing for yourself, finding time for yourself, reading a good book or working on your hobbies, practising self-gratitude, or even considering professional therapy with us at 7cups.com. Though you may not always detect the real reason for feeling insufficient, you’re still an amazing person who deserves help and support on this journey!

And as they say, “If you lose someone but find yourself, you’ve won”, because at the end of the day, it’s you for you and I wish you good luck with finding yourself and great things in your whole life 💜

@amazingNutella24

Woohoo! You're indeed amazing Nutella. No pun intended 😁

The opening sentence is kind and empathetic 💜 keywords incorporated very well, and I definitely love your choice of words!

All the best to you Nutella!

@amazingNutella24

Very well done on this excellent answer Nutella. Three things you have done well: 1) Intelligent use of key words - yay you used them all! 2) Impactful first sentence - well done! It manages to draw us into the answer. 3) Your answer has a lot of heart which I love 😊 One area of improvement: Reconsider the word “though” and change it to “although” for your second last sentence.

Brilliant work! ☺️👍

@brightSunset61

Hey hey, Set! 💜 I hope you're well! This is so beautifully written 💜

Three strengths of this piece:

1. You've used a great number of provided keywords!

2. Your text sounds very empathetic yet professional.

3. And you've covered a lot of areas - Perfect introduction and also highlighting the main part pertaining to support.

Honestly, I don't have any suggestions, haha. It is very well compiled! Perhaps adding in a relevant quote would make it stronger? 💜 Good luck!

@brightSunset61

Couldn't agree more with Nutella, a well written paragraph 💫

You incorporated the provided keywords smoothly! Well done 💜

Question:What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

When I feel that I am not enough for someone at first, I sit down with myself and get to know the weakness that made me think in this way because the feeling of inadequacy for someone stems from within the individual that he is not convinced of himself! So I work on my weaknesses and strengthen them by learning new skills that help me in self-esteem more. I am convinced from within that I am enough for anyone, regardless of their level. When I am full from the inside, everything will be easy for me and this is what the other will see about me Therefore, it is necessary to continuously develop and learn new skills so that the individual feels self-sufficient, and therefore it will be sufficient for anyone💓

@Zahraa000

Solid point at the opening sentence! Sit with our emotions because they are telling us something. 💜

Would you please give example paragraph with provided keywords:

parents, partner, self-esteem, social media, self-worth, good news, best way, first step, human beings, children, therapy, self-love, family members, better person, good time, good luck, inner critic, self-doubt, negative self-talk, real reason, whole life, amazing person, self-confidence, voice, right thing, healthy relationship, great things, information, communication, end of the day.

The closing message is also wonderful: When I'm full from the inside, everything will be easier for me and that's what others will see about me. Well said! 💫

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with, or for graphic design, @AriadneLove can support you. All the best to you! 💫

Question:what to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone ?

first of all you when you feeling this way about yourself that means that you still don't know yet your qualities and your worth , and it's important to know that you might never expect people to treat you any better than yourself

i lived this experience before and i felt that im unworthy and i started to put all the blame on me , even i tried to chase my partner expecting him to give me the love i deserve but after that i decided to love myself and doing my hobbies , letting go my partner , i completly changed my life by living in better style , i finally succeed to have the body that i always dreamt of , and im even more close to my family and friends

and after this long period this is me feeling stronger than before

@optimisticMoment4139 I really like the way you used different expressions to explain yourself!

a tip I would give you is to use the keywords given on the activity :) they could be helpful in adding more information on the paragraph!

What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

Very often, we often do not feel good enough for someone, even for ourselves. And there are multiple reasons for that. It could be caused by our parents and family, which can cause damage to our self-esteem, and cause us to have self-doubt and talk negatively about ourselves. Another reason would be social media, which promotes unrealistic self-images and beauty standards that cause teens (and adults) to try and look like these people. Some things to remember are that you're an amazing person regardless of how you look or your lifestyle! At the end of the day, every person is different and unique in their own way. Managing to believe in yourself can be really hard and can take much time, but I'm certain you can do it!

@KateDoskocilova

I really enjoyed reading this paragraph, it's very encouraging and what you said about social media was super true!
The way you incorporated the keywords was very nice and it made a lot of sense. I love the pink paragraph too, though it might be helpful to highlight some of the keywords so it's easier to read (:

@KateDoskocilova

Great Q&A answer, Kate! Minimum number of words ✔, the answer is empathetic, no grammatical errors or plagiarism found, used given keywords, and the paragraph written concisely. 💜

@SoulfullyAButterfly

@bubblingSea6361

I really like your answer, Sea! Some of the strengths that I noticed in your answer -

• You were very empathetic in your response and I like how you labelled some of the emotions the person could be experiencing. It shows that you made great use of active listening!
• Your answer also contained tips or approaches such as suggesting positive affirmations (which a lot of research has backed up as being helpful!). I also like the emphasis or the gentle nudge towards communication and connection with those around them. I think when someone is dealing with self-esteem issues, talking to someone who knows them or those who value them helps a lot!
• I like how you did not give any advice in your answer, but rather covered a few different grounds on what they can potentially try and do. The language you used seems very professional and your entire answer was worded amazingly!

I don't know if a tip would even be necessary considering it might bring subjectivity and a biased opinion of mine but -

• Maybe include a few examples of positive affirmations that the person could use. A lot of positive affirmations available online are generalized and may not be as efficient but there are a few tips for creating personalized affirmations. I think examples help make anything more valuable (but I could use the same tip for myself haha, I don't think I included much of this).

It was great reading your answer. Good luck with the program! :)

The point is, people improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don't?
