I'm just not good enough
No matter what I do, I'm not important to anyone. It's been this way for as long as I can remember, ever since I was a kid. I know I'm not a perfect person but I really really try to be supportive to other people, but it feels like no matter how much of a nice friend I try to be, the other person always has more important things to do than hang out with me. I honestly don't think I've ever had a friend ask to do anything with me, it was always me doing the initiating. And I can't really keep on saying that it's their problem for being a flaky friend; they don't seem to have trouble sustaining friendships with other people. I've come to the conclusion that I just don't have a compelling or interesting enough personality; if I did, they would stick around for me.
I've never had a friend whose interest I could sustain for long. They could always find cooler people to spend time around. I feel like I'm just completely inconsequential, incapable of bringing anything to the world that I can see any evidence of actually mattering.
And if I was really really good at something, I might not feel so bad over this. Everybody has their own struggles in life but if I had a special talent or something that I could really shine at, I would feel like I had a reason for existing. But as an actor and singer I'm extremely mediocre. I've built my entire life around something that I'm not even that talented in. It's like I don't have a single thing about me that's worthwhile or that actually counts for anything.
Sorry for this annoying emo post but I just feel really really really horrible. I can't see any evidence whatsoever of me being a valuable person and I don't even know what to do at this point.
Sorry to hear that. I know how that is. People always seem to find more interesting friends and go away. Hoped I'd get to ride off in to the sunset rather than getting left behind at least once, but I doubt that's ever going to happen. My heart has grown pretty hard by now; not much (potential) love for anyone.
I used to have some things I was good at and that were my hobbies (and academic work) but those are gone now. And that makes the above seem even more stark.
Wish I had something better to say, than "yeah, been there (and am still there)."
