Everyone is just putting me down at the moment.?

Question

whenever i express a view or opinion or whatever, i feels like everyone just puts it down and makes me feel like dirt. if im doing something, people tell me im doing it wrong when im just doing it my way. if i ask something, people treat me like a r****d as if i should already know the answer and it's just making me feel shite. a couple of months back i started cutting my wrists, and this somehow helped me, but then my 'friend' saw the scars and told me that i wasnt cutting my wrists becasue i was doing it too far up my arm for it to be considered my wrist. so aparently i cant even self harm properly.

Answer 1

You know what?  Opinions are like butt holes... everyone has one!  That doesn't mean they are right.  Forget the jerks out there that think your all wrong and try to only listen to constructive criticism.  My best friend slit her wrist the "wrong way" and I didn't say she did it wrong... I asked her if she needed to talk.  I hope you can find some better people to give you some support.  If you can't and all you seem to be surrounded by is negative... then just do the best you can and know that there's just a lot of opinionated jerks in the world.

Answer 2

Your friend is an opininated moron, because he should be telling you to STOP cutting your wrists, and not how to cut them properly...

If someone treats you like a r****d, ignore them...simple as that.

Answer 3

people often feel that they are smarter or know better than those around them and love to offer their opinions where they aren't warranted. it doesn't make them right though. Don't be so hard on yourself, you shouldn't feel like **** for doing things your way. Its your life, they aren't walking in your shoes, so tell them to **** off!

And if you're self harming, you should go seek professional help. obviously you're in a lot of pain and right now you're in a really negative cycle. This way when your "friend" has anything to say, you can just tell to mind his own effing business because you are dealing with it.   It is very hard for people who cut to stop by themselves. It can become like an addiction.

Dave,

Don't harm yourself, bro.  Instead, make a decision that you are really going to discover what it is that you want out of life.  Everybody seeks approval from friends and coworkers..it's a human thing.  We all do it.  However, I think that you'll be a lot happier if you can wake up each day and worry less about what people think and concentrate more on finding ways to be a free creative person.  When you look at all of the diverse creatures that are part of the animal kingdom, you got to think it wouldn't be easy for a Duck billed platypus to "fit in" with the rest of the pack.  After all, if you are a mammal that has webbed feat, a duck's bill and can lay eggs, lets face it..you're a different creature altogether...but that doesn't mean you aren't significant!   I learned a long time ago that when I stopped worrying about other people's opinions and started focusing on my own dreams and goals that somehow all of those people we wished were our friends just seemed to pop up out of nowhere.   There is a great website and book called:

"no opportunity wasted" (noopportunitywasted.com)  check it out, bud.

It's your life.  Do what you want to do.  Be who you want to be.  You're too amazing of a person to settle for anything less.   good luck!
