When I feel like I'm not good enough for someone I usually feel really anxious about letting someone down. Honestly, it's all in my head sometimes, because giving up is the only way I can let someone down. I tried to remind myself all the time that I am here for myself not to prove my worth for someone else.

What I normally do is I try to realize people are smart and don't like to waste their time. My friends, S/O and family wouldn't be around me or request my company if they didn't enjoy my it for one reason or another.

Step back and take a look at why your feeling that way. Chances are it's just a little insecurity that everybody feels at one point or another. If somebody likes you then you ARE good enough. You should try to have a bit more self worth than you give yourself credit for.

Ask yourself why you feel this way. Do you feel that you are not good enough for this person because: a) You are not meeting your own standards and see them as better than yourself b) You are not meeting their standards and they see themselves as better than you c) You are not meeting the standards of another person who is influencing you to feel unworthy in general If the struggle is internal, determine what it is exactly that you feel inadequate for. Are you not reaching your goals? Have you recently lost a job or friend? Do you not feel equal to your partner financially, physically, or emotionally? The only way to battle this feeling is by creating positive change in your life to accommodate the needs of the person you hope to be. If the person is making you feel inadequate or unworthy of having them in your life, then this is a fault on them and not yourself. Try communicating with them and letting them know the actions or words that make you feel as if they are "superior", and how they can change their treatment of you so that you both feel appreciated and worthy. If this person is unable or unwilling to change, know that you do not need to stay in a toxic relationship. A good relationship makes you feel fulfilled and uplifted! Not down on yourself. If another person outside of the equation is making you feel small (say, a boss, co-worker, teacher, peer, family member, professional), follow the same strategy as above. If you can, distance yourself from this person, or report them to a higher power who may help you resolve what issues are between the both of you.

Whenever I feel like I'm not good enough for someone else, I take a step back to see if I am judging my worth on that person. If I am, I try to shift away from that viewpoint and realize that judging my worth based on someone else is unhealthy and unnecessary.

It doesn't matter who that someone is. First, ask them if you are worth it to them because your feelings could be completely wrong. Second, in the case that you are not worth it to them, you shouldn't let it get to you. It would be time to realize that that person is not a positive/good energy in your life to have around. Third, try and find people that CAN be that positive influence in your life. Then it will only go up from there!

It's time to decide then where is the line between love and slavery. It's one thing to serve someone (no need to be in love, can be any person). And another thing to slave for that someone, just because out of fear, abuse, or hope or whatever else. Ego, animal, male or female, these will never have any respect for a Person. Sadly, when a Person dives into her animal nature, she follows her animal interests and purposes. She will then abuse anyone around, family or no family, friend or foe. There's no limit for animal if you let it. Animal will abuse you until you drop dead. It's vital to decide where is the line for you. Because once you cross the line of abuse and slavery, pain grows exponentially and the experience is crushing. Be very careful, really.

You should never feel that way. If someone makes you feel like you are not good enough (or if something makes you feel that way) than remember that you are better than that. Anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself is not better than you. You have to remember that you are just as good as them and let that feeling wash over you. Once you start believing yourself, no one can make you feel that way.
