I don't know how to get involved in something when it seems that I don't really have anything to contribute. I realize how self-involved and self-centered I sound (and I am), but at the same time I legitimately think and feel that it would be better if I didn't do anything because I think I tend to make things worse for others and that others don't want me around.
I know I feel purposeless sometimes. Especially since I'm getting old and my kids don't need me and I can't work. So I come on here and try to help people and make them laugh as much as I can. I do the same IRL when I can. You are as important as any other human. Do what you have to do to bring some joy into your life.
