Yes, it is possible to be too broken, damaged, and require too much tieless resources to be “healed” to ever be loved

People love pointing out how smart, kind, and strong I am

My co workers especially are very encouraging in helping me get my masters degree. And some new friends seem to like me

But they don't know the damage I carry inside. The mental break downs, toxic avoidant behaviors, and things I do that harm others

I'm very sorry to hear that - people have a very superficial idea of what we are. I don't think I have value either.

I really feel this, co-workers, colleagues, classmates, etc. would be shocked to know I struggle so severely. People always think I'm an over achiever with their shit together, I'm in leadership positions often and people have looked up to me in these roles forever. No one ever suspect someone like me to even be on a site like this. It feels like I'm a fraud sometimes, it's almost like living a double life.

It's an indescribable feeling when people look at you like you're this certain person you present yourself as while being completely blind to extreme opposite side that's my actual reality.

Granted while you may struggle with breakdowns, avoidance, and accidentally hurting others, it's probably also true that you're also kind, smart, and strong as well.

Like entropy, the effort required to reduce suffering is creating more suffering elsewhere. Total suffering is always increasing.
