Something started me feeling like not much people care about me. But I know some people care about me. But I am never good enough. I'm such a bad friend.

You need to care about you sweetie We can care about you till we're blue in the face but until you care about you it isn't going to be enough. Find reasons to care about and love yourself. Be a good friend. Smile at someone who seems unhappy. Wave at someone who is alone. Do something unexpectedly nice for someone. Volunteer at a pet shelter. Volunteer at an old folks home.
I'm blue in the face...gimme a break
Thanks for this!

Why are you feeling like a bad friend? I bet you really are a good friend.

happycheeks, you often post about other people not liking you or not living up to their expectations. I think it is more important that you are happy with yourself because as we go through this world there will always be some that like us and some that do not.

You have a magical personality and I don't think you recognize your own gifts and what makes you special.

Rather than me telling you what I like about you I want you to tell me one thing that you like about yourself and then I will tell you one thing I like about you. Okay?

Because I don't talk much and I feel like I'm not good enough.

I don't know why I am special. I have a good sense of humour.

Yes you do have a good sense of humour. And you are very special.

One of the good things that I see about you is you are a very caring and kind person and you like to help people here at pc.

Awww But if someone I told someone I'm special they wouldn't believe me.

It is more important that YOU believe in yourself and that you are special, which you definitely are. However, know that you have been a good, caring friend. As mentioned already, our value comes from what we think and not what others think of ourselves. When no one else is around, all we have is ourselves to be comfortable with. Believe in yourself and all that makes you, knowing that this makes you very unique and special. Your value lives within you, not others opinions and no matter what others think. Be true to yourself, trust in yourself, and find what makes you special to you.
