Is it normal for me to struggle with feeling as if I was never not good enough?

A lot of people feel this way but not everyone so yes i would say its pretty normal but just stay focused on the fact that everyone has someone who looks up to them or someone who thinks you are more than good enough weather you know who or not

Everyone feels like this at some point in their lives so yes, it is fairly normal but you should always talk to someone about it because if you don't tell people how you feel it can get more serious.

Yes that's normal, but we have to believe in ourselves in what we can do to overcome those thoughts.

Yes, everyone feels inadequate and not good enough at some point in their lives but the best thing is to stop comparing your achievements and progress against everyone else around you.

Yes. Every one is different, and because of this many people feel inadequate. Just stop comparing yourself to others and know that how good you do thing is good enough because it's you. :)

This question needs to be reworded, because it means the opposite of what I think it's supposed to mean. So NO its not normal at all, its very very strange??? Now to answer the real question, it doesn't matter if its normal or not, what matters is if you DO struggle with feeling as if you're not good enough, then ask yourself good enough for what? This is a comparison, what are you comparing yourself to, good enough for what specifically? maybe if you knew, you could have some leverage I don't know.

Of course not! Most people (including myself) struggle with this all the time. What helps me is to remember that as long as a try my hardest, I will be ok with the results - good or bad. Besides, self-doubt is a good thing as it keeps us humble.

Hey there, in my opinion, yes. I think a lot of us struggle with that for one reason or another... be it something that's happened in our past like nothing being good enough for your parents or someone leaving you (these are mine anyways). What's helped for me is to have a routine of things that help me deal with that and overcome it and let go of that feeling. I do that through meditating and a breathing method created by a guy called wim hoff... these two things bring me back into the present and make me release that notion that I am not good enough to be loved. Hope these help :)
