because you concentrate on the lesser points about yourself rather than the good points about yourself

In my experience, feeling inferior or worthless has a lot to do with the idea that we have not "accomplished" certain things up until a certain point in our lives. For example, you may feel as if you have not accomplished your goal of being married by the age of 30, or whatever age you think is the "right" or average time that people get married. This same principle can also be applied to status in your career, money you make, or things you own (like a car or house). The thing about this is that no two people are alike. You may have the same education as your friend who has all these things, but you may have been through different experiences that have led you down a different path. There is nothing wrong with you for not finding the love of your life or your dream job by the age of thirty (for example. Your personal struggles are different from everyone else's. Try to concentrate on the good things you have done and your qualities as a person. If you are a good, kind person that is an accomplishment in itself. And if you know that underneath your struggles you are smart, creative, interesting, and most of all, worthy of love, things are going to happen for you and it's not as important WHEN they happen. It is so much more important for you to feel good about yourself than it is to have all these external things. I suggest looking into self-help books about boosting self-esteem and really practicing the exercises. It may sound sort of cheesy but these things can actually work, even if you don't have access to therapy. At the very least, you will be concentrating on healing yourself, and that is the best way to get over these unhealthy feelings.

These are hallmark feelings of depression, mostly these feelings come out of previous situational events wherein somebody has failed to show appreciation or thanks for something that the depressed individual has done. That person being depressed tends to throw this out of proportion and assume negatively that they are this way in every aspect of life. Essentially one of the most awful things about depression is how it sparks negative thought patterns and tends to lead people to make assumptions and grow even more depressed, Its a melancholic cycle and is usual only broken with outside help (Therapy/Medication). However a third of depressive cases dissipate of their on accord! So don't despair.

It's a matter of finding your own self-worth before the influence or standards of others. Ask yourself what expectations you have for yourself so that you count each small victory and make peace with your mistakes or the things you can't change. If you feel inferior then it's time to search for your own perception of happiness.

This is something I can relate to myself. It was just the lack of confidence and hopelessness that made me think like this. All I believe is that you will need a good friend to survive all that.

My parents told me that he wishes I was never born and reminds me that I'm a failure through out my life. Things that I feel that are major accomplishment are put down belittled, criticized and are wrong. I have never shown an ounce of support in things that I care about. Nor does my life even matter. Not only that, I feel used by the opposite gender for sexual gratification. To know, I'm not even worth knowing as a person. Knowing that I can't afford to pay a bus ticket makes me a failure, it's distressing. To people that I care the most, my thought, my feeling or my actions don't matter to them. I might smile and be happy, but these are things hurt me everyday.

Most of the time you feel inferior, worthless, and useless all the time because you THINK that you do. If you think like you aren't, most likely, you'll feel better about yourself.

You may be suffering from depression. Depression can cause you to feel inferior and to have a low sense of self worth, among other things. Getting checked out by a doctor and discussing your symptoms with them may be helpful for you.

I'm sorry you feel that way, it's normal to feel inferior sometimes but it's important to remember that you are important and no one is above or below you. You underestimate the time you have and your abilities. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are special, so you are special :) and you're fully capable of doing anything you set your mind to. Just always remember to be yourself and be kind, that takes practice
