I post this to vent this feeling is hitting me like a hurricane because i'm alone and can't tell anyone else here where i live. Replies are not necessary (please don't think i'm rude), but of course everyone is free to do it, i just need to let this out at least thru my writing.

I'm a "better not girl", it means that all that i do or say carries almost always a bad thing or fire back at me, so to protect me from being hurt again for the million time, i "better not" do, say, think, etc. i save it to myself, i keep on being timid, however i try to behave normal and outgoing.

But!, i also think to myself "better not", because i know that what i do/say will be so bad or wrong, and i don't wanna hurt or bother anyone in this world. Even when i try to help others sincerely and from the heart, i screw it up, i cause more problems than solutions, or at least this is what i observe. Err is human but i lost that right long, long, long time ago and it's hard for me to accept when i do something slightly good, i just don't believe it.

It has been the same situation since i was just a little girl, and since then i learnt to be reserved, to look at without saying a word, i started to be a loner, act on my own without asking for help never!, taking all my burdens on my shoulders withouth sharing while holding the burdens of others. I started to be so shy and isolated, that at school i spent most of my lunch times eating my sandwich alone, seeing how the other girls were so joyful playing with their mates (just to mention an example), just dreaming i would be like them someday.

Plus nobody liked me, i was bullied tho not that harsh, and i heard often from people telling a professor if they could change me for another person when working in teams, they made this grimace of disgust when i was assignated with them, even when i was an excellent A+ student my whole school life, graduated with honors, and they were C or D students. I tried to copy the behaviour, expressions, clothes, hairstyles from the pretty popular girls, because something must be wrong with me, i looked so ugly, i couldnt fit anywhere, i musted be sort of a human filth for them.

Nobody wanted me around, i only had 1 true friend and still have it thank God. Things got better since high school and later at the university, but the big emotional and psychological damage to me was done, now i'm not confident at all, my self-esteem is non-existent, i have the worst concept of myself, i'm sure that i lack of intelligence despite all my medals, certificates, previous high-demanding and competitive jobs. I tend to keep all to myself, i "better not" say anything because i will surely screw it up somehow and i feel like a machine that serves, but it's not meant to be served.

This is only a very short extract of my whole situation, there's so much more to tell (for example the painful story of growing up with the parents i have), but it makes me emotionally tired and too weak, so i can't. Now guess what i thought before posting this thread... oh yeah! you already know, don't you? ...I better don't post it, but this time i did!, i hope it isn't wrong, all my life i've been scathing about practically everything, but specially those rare times, when i've decided to speak out, so i hope it doesn't happen the same on this forum. I just used this space to vent, but i know i need professional help and a treatment to deal with all and finally get over it.

Thank you forum for letting me rest my heart and soul a little bit.


I forgot to mention about online possible friends, i don't dare to contact someone first, or answer your threads because what if he/she hates me for what i comment, what if my post is stupid, what if this or that, so i better don't do it.

When i dare to write someone first, after sending the email, pm, etc i'm afraid and nervous, i'm thinking all the bad things that the other person could be thinking while reading me, etc.
 
For what its worth, in the bits and pieces of interaction throughout the forum, from what I gather, you are smart, caring, helpful, sincere, grateful and yes are carrying a bunch of weight on your soul. I truly hope you are able to lighten your load and heal old wounds, build yourself back up. Without even knowing you I can tell you are a nurturing compassionate person, who has the ability to do a lot of good for a lot of people. I hope you are able to really take the time you need to be compassionate to yourself and truly heal yourself enabling you to be the beautiful soul you deserve to be. Take care.

There isn't one bad thing I or anyone here can think of you because we don't know you, Beckett. But we know you enough from the posts you've made on this forum and you sound like a really nice person, but because of that, people tend to take advantage of you. I know that all too well.

But if you ever wanna PM me, feel free, now you know I won't think badly of you. :)

Well said, Garbageman. And I agree.
 
I can actually relate to a lot of what you said, so I understand where you're coming from.

I'm glad that you did decide to post this thread because that's a step in overcoming this feeling! Well done :)

From what I can tell, Beckett, you are a wonderful person (that draws awesome SuperCats!). If ever wanted to PM me you can rest assured I would never think badly of you.
 
A sincerely thank you from me to you Cuteman, Ladygreatheart and Socialsupportive :)
I would hug you, it would be my natural and honest reaction, too bad we live a lit bit far away .

Despite the damage i still am able to discover that not everyone thinks automatically the worse about me, wether they know me or not, i don't hear nor receive support on a regular basis, in fact that happens rarely, but when it does happen, it comes mostly from people who have only crossed some words with me, or worked a couple of days with me, it's difficult to believe and accept the positive comments, but they do see something or several good things in me and they tell me, things that my own mother never see, shame on her. When i still was at my parent's house, she reminded me everyday of "the list", which is a list of insults, disqualifications, sould-destructive critics and so on, i was never enough for her, so she loved to denigrate me more and more each day, she was so vicious!. I have a 23yrs old sister but she was and is exactly the opposite to me, some years ago because one of her stupidiest mistakes, my dad's life was put once in danger (almost shot), but no matter how far she goes or how bad she does, the answer from my parents to her is forgive, forget and love, nice family i have.

Well, i better forget that for now, thank you for understanding, maybe you think you only wrote a few lines in a forum, but those lines mean a lot to me, those lines give me strenght to continue one more day. I'm a very simple person and i don't require amazing stuff to feel better, a comfort word from someone can be enough, at least to get out of my bed and stand up.

You are too sweet with those altered names for us! And dang the distance, I always dislike it for being the barrier between me and some really wonderful people I'd like to meet.

Give it some time. Sometimes, it takes little positive things to happen.. that will take you a long way to improve your perceptions on something. I hope that your being on the forum will help you start to realise that there really is nothing bad about you.. especially if you know it in your heart that you mean well and good towards others.

Low achievers tease and bully because on some level they know they'll end up as losers in adult life who can only get by on their ageing looks. High school was their time to shine.
 
We're on the same boat lady, i also dislike distance a lot, but she insists on being one of my stalkers ;o)

Certainly being on the forum has helped me quite more than what i expected, specially yesterday and today, thank u for your advices, i dont take them lightly, they really have a meaning for me.

Rdor thank u for reading me and taking the time to reply, that what you said it's something i've seen already in some of those mean girls from my past, and others ended marrying foreign men, mostly americans, only to boast about living in the 1st world, while the rest of the girls -like me- surely live between junk :p LoL! from their way of thinking i can only laugh now. I bet they would try to kill me if they find out about my story in Germany and worse if they hear me speaking german, you know that losers like me are not supposed to have that kind of experiences, hihi.
 
Beckett, you can PM me anytime! on the forum or in chat.... I would like that very much! I love making new friends!
 
Since i'm gaining a bit confidence thanks to all of you who have replied here or thru pm, take for sure i will dear Danielle :)
