lt makes me sad that you are feeling so bad about yourself. Here's an idea. Is there anyone you can think of who you really look up to and think pretty much has their act together? Think of the best examples you can, people in real life or online or celebrities, historical figures - anyone you think is someone you could look up to. Now, do you think that there might be anyone who doesn't respect them? Have they ever done anything that they shouldn't have done? Even mistakes? Knowing that these people that you admire are not perfect, how do you think that they ought to be punished for their mistakes? Would ripping their faces off, or cutting them to the bone or until they die be fitting, do you think? I'm betting probably not.

Sure, you're not perfect and there might be some people who will never respect you. I'm far from perfect, and I make some pretty big mistakes, and there are people who hate me and probably always will. We all make mistakes and none of us are universally admired. Your mistakes are small ones, and all that you need to do is learn from them and do what you can to make it right. You can't control what other peopel think of you, but I happen to think you're pretty neat. Please be gentle with yourself.

Love,
