Because you just lost the person you shared your love and world with. You feel as if you weren't good enough because they left you when you wanted a forever or long time with this person.

It may be because you're not quite sure why you were broken up with. You may feel you did something wrong to provoke this. You may have also always had these feelings as if you're not really loved and this break up could have made them more real for you

It's likely that you're interpreting "being broken up with" as a rejection. You may take it a little further and even say that it's the other person's way of letting you know that you aren't good enough for them. It's natural to feel hurt after parting with someone you care for deeply or love. It hurts even more if you're seeing it as a statement about your worth. How might you view this situation in a different, more empowering way? Maybe instead of focusing on the feelings of rejection and worthlessness, you could think about how it frees you to experience other relationships or get to know yourself better?

You feel as if you gave your all to this person and they didn't appreciate what you did. You ask yourself why? You didn't do anything but love them. Those negative confusing feelings, bring you down and you feel as if you wasted your time on somebody. You even wonder if you did anything to make them feel that way. Everyone tells you it takes time but you just say to yourself they don't understand how I feel.

Because you may not be seeing things clearly due to the feelings that you had for the person you broke up with. You could still be focusing on all of their good points and the good things that they did and ignoring all of their bad points and the negative things that they did that lead to the break-up in question.

You feel that way because someone you loved and cherished has just admitted they no longer see you as someone they want to spend the rest of their life with. It's completely naturally to feel like that, especially when you've poured your heart and soul into the relationship, believing you can make this work, and your partner will do the same. But they haven't done the same. They no longer want you in their life, or at least not in a romantic sense where they love you more than anyone else in the world. But there are people that love you, whether you've met them yet (parents, siblings friends) or not, people will be in your life that look at you as someone worth having around.

Everyone does. It is like the end of an era. But the most important point is to accept whatever has happened is your past and make a new future from it. It might not be easy, but it sure helps a lot.

It is easy, after a breakup, to blame yourself for everything that went wrong. You just have to try to remind yourself that it was not all your fault, and no matter how great you may have been, you can not control another person's happiness.

I believe its a common feeling after a breakup, everything seems wrong and hopeless, but support from friends and family and time will help you move on and get better.

You feel that you are worthless and unlovable simply because the person you thought is the one broke up with you...you feel that you are not good enough but YOU ARE!!
