How do I get over this feeling that I wasn't good enough?

I try to think about what I did that was positive. I also think about how when you roll a dice, you won't always land on a 4. Sometimes you make it, sometimes you don't. Sometimes it comes right away, sometimes it doesn't. Life is the same.

Sometimes we aren’t good enough for other people. We don’t always meet their standards or we aren’t what they want. That does not in any way mean we aren’t good or even great! It just means we aren’t everybody’s cup of tea 😉 and that’s ok. We need to be good enough for ourselves because at the end of the day we have to live inside our minds nobody else’s. If you think you weren’t good enough truly because of error, then take it in stride. Learn from me. Always continue to be a better YOU but only for yourself.

It’s not easy. Just remember that you don’t need to become a millionaire, get that A+, or make everyone around you happy to be good enough. Everyone has failures, but think of all the good things you did today! Just getting out of bed in the morning can be so difficult, but guess what? You did it anyways, you woke up and decided to face the day without knowing what you would have to go through. You got yourself meals, suffered through hours of work or school, and maybe you helped someone else out and made their day a little bit better, too. I think seeing other people smile after you do something nice for them always gives me this sense of fulfillment, even if all I did was ask how their day went. All of these little everyday things that you do are accomplishments that you should be proud of. You’re not just good enough, you’re more than enough. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise

I think it helps to think about what you have accomplished instead of your failures. Don't compare yourself to others. You set your own standards and you don't need to follow the standards of someone else. You and the people close to you will know how far you have come and what you have accomplished and that is what matters.

I understand that you are feeling that you weren't good enough for something or someone. Sometimes we get this feeling because we are telling ourselves that we aren't good enough. I would start with telling yourself that you were good enough and things happen for a reason. Start to value yourself, build on your confidence and see that you have a lot to offer people. You are good enough.

Talk to people you can confide in. Whether it's a friend, family member or a professional. Do things you dream of doing, that makes you a little anxious, but take those chances and do it and when you succeed in doing some of those things you'll realize how brave and strong you are and you'll feel your courage and sense of self worth rise.

I remember that I tried my best, and that I cannot help someone everytime that I try to come to someone's aid. If I think I wasn't good enough, I would recommend seeing another listener about it so that I feel like I at least helped then by bringing them to the next person to talk about it.

Your feeling is because of your thoughts that you are not good enough. Your feelings change when your thoughts about yourself change. You may want to focus into qualities about yourself that are beautiful and unique more than your weaknesses.
