You are never not good enough for your family. Please don't ever think that you are not good enough for something or someone. You are an amazing human being and you should know that. Even if your family keeps giving you the vibe that your not good enough, don't listen. You are amazing, never think that please. You are good enough, you are amazing, you are worthy, and you are valid. Please trust me, you are more than good enough for your family. Please trust me on this. Your Friend, LuminousSoul78

If you feel you are never going to be good enough for the people in your life, you need to ask if they are good enough for you. Ask yourself what it means to be a good person. Live by the deals that you set for yourself, not by the expectations (good or bad) of others. You may not be able to be good enough for them, but you can be good enough for you.

Your whole personality is based on what you are thinking in your mind, if all you think is negative things you will be perceived as a negative person. Work on loving yourself and creating a better you and those feelings will go away.

You are good enough. Your family obviously does not see the value in each and every individual. coming from a challenging childhood with my parents all I can say is that the sooner you learn to live on your own and worry about whats good enough for you is when you will start to see that its not so much whats good for them but whats good for you. It's your life not theirs, so why worry so much what they think?

Family have high standards for each other. Plus they are always around and they know who we are and what we do. It is not always that we are not good enough, but that we do more for the family than they, so jealousy may play a role. Before you start judging yourself, try to understand the emotions that are going around the family and why.

Above everything, the only person you need to worry about being "good enough" for, is yourself. Once you establish the fact that you are, whether or not you are good enough for others becomes irrelevant.

You may not feel good enough, they may make you feel inferior, and they may not understand how to support you. But never ever judge yourself on someone's inability to see your value. You don't need confirmation by anyone else, as long as you accept yourself, that's all that matters.

You're important, it's just a illusion, you need to know your family love you and care about you ... just need to believe in yourself

No one is ever "good enough" for everyone. You have to keep yourself happy by being good enough for yourself.

YOU are good enough...We just don't always fit the molds that our families want us to fit. We come into the world through them, but we are not always like them. Each of us have to follow our own path to find our destiny. Sometimes it does not fit the family plan.
