Discussion Is being a worthless loser and a burden to everyone still worth living?

[JustBe]

I feel like I'm this person.

Never brought any good in the world, and honestly I mean it. Been a burden to every person I've been too.
I'm extremely stupid, under average IQ for sure, and absolutely no emotional intelligence.
Every people I've been friend to, every people I worked for, everyone who liked or loved me, realized sooner or later that I'm just a burden.

I am not exaggerating a tiny bit or seeking for attention, it's totally the person I am. People are better off without me.

People who are exactly like that, how do you survive? I just stopped having friends or anything because I know deep down I'm a leech which reduces the potential of everyone around.

I have other problems as well, but I mean, for that reason alone life ain't worth living. When you know that people who are genuinely nice to you will be punished to be friends or acquaintances to you is extremely sad.

I get that. Pretty much every friend I've ever had ended up cutting me off. Most people don't like being around depressed people because it depresses them.

We don't technically owe the world anything though. Also you're much less of a burden on the world than some other people (greedy ceos, serial killers, etc.) We're more just neutral. We're not hurting people deeply like they are.

I also feel like in todays world of instant gratification, people don't care as much about having deep connections. Most of gen Z seems extremely lonely. I also think people are more apt to just block people now than try to talk through issues.

But are you kind? It seems like you care a lot about everyone around you, you care about their best interests, so it sounds like you are. There isn't enough kindness in the world, if you can contribute that, that counts for something, it isn't worthless, and you aren't worthless. Maybe you just haven't found your niche in life yet, but perhaps that could change with the help of a career counselor? These things can take time, I hope you can give yourself some grace & be patient with yourself as you find your way.
