Re: Why do feel this way

Not exactly. But I was severely depressed in high school and it was mistaken by laziness for everyone, even my parents. And I experienced a lot of bullying both from peers and teachers.

So I have it in my head that I'm unlikeable. Like, I know my parents love me and all, but I'm never sure they or anyone else actually like me. And I'm always beating myself up over every little mistake or wrong thing I say. I still obsess over stupid things I said years ago.

Unlikable? Well, I think you're pretty cool.

Everyone makes mistakes, financially or otherwise. Don't beat yourself up over it, and especially don't beat yourself up over your past. You don't have to answer to anyone but yourself, and you deserve to cut yourself a little slack.

I get this way a lot too. Wish I had better advice for you but:

First off, you have to kind of acknowledge that a lot of this is irrational. Like you said in the OP, you worry about money and career and being an adult even though you know that, for the most part, you have things under control. You worry about your parents loving you even though you know that they do. So even though you worry about these things, you also know on some level that these are not rational concerns. Right? So just try to keep that in mind.

And try to just talk to people about things and open up - it can be difficult to do, but I often find that even just the process of trying to verbalize things forces me to put my concerns in perspective and brings me back down to earth. And people can be really understanding and helpful. Don't be afraid to lean on people, anon.
