Do you feel like a loser sometimes

I feel like a loser sometimes. How can I tell myself why I am not a loser? I don’t have any friends. I am isolated a lot. I also have to hang out with my parents a lot.

I feel like a loser when I make mistakes. Why do you feel like a loser? You’re surviving schizophrenia, that’s a big win and makes you a winner.

As a first step, I would try to not compare yourself to other people. You are unique and have your own set of circumstances and challenges.

I’ve heard that confidence means knowing that it doesn’t make sense to compare yourself to other people.

You don’t have to be social. You don’t have to accomplish anything. You have inherent value as a living being.

Go out and find someone with friends, and ask yourself are they a winner?

I spent about a decade feeling like a loser. I was on disability, no job, no friends, no gf, no life, but I slowly starting changing the way I think about myself and I don’t feel that way anymore.

Yeah, pretty much every time someone jogs past me and it’s taking everything I’ve got to go out for a damn walk. I just keep doing what I can do and not making myself crazy about the things others can do but I can’t.

I can start getting down on myself, when I compare myself to where I was before all this shite

But, comparing stories with others on this form, has helped me see it more realistically. I was Ill at the time, that’s the best that I could do

To be honest I am not comparing myself to others. I just feel like a loser sometimes.

I don’t feel like a loser as I do the best I can with what I have to work with.

No doubt others will see me as a loser but I could care less about what people think about me.

Yeh I feel like a sack of poo sometimes. Somehow, I havnt been having much anhedonia or severe depression though lately. Having some sort of hobby or activity you do like helps the most. Also, having reasonable expectatations can help too, which I cant say I totally grasp.

Fck yeah, and it feels great. The trick is to turn it into a good thing. I’m glad I’ve gotten rid of fake friends. I’m not bound to anyone, or their expectations.

I learned long ago, I’m the only person I really need.

Despite the relatively sound position I am in, I still am missing friends and a partner

That in my book makes me a loser

No one in this world wants to have much of anything to do with me unless it’s for work

Pretty sad I know, but I am not bitter about it. I used to be, but now I have solace

No People like me and I have friends and stuff the only thing that people might consider me a loser for is that I live with my parents. But in reality I’m saving up money and nobody would say that to my face I don’t think . People like me I’m nice and funny and girls and guys flirt with me. I’m very blessed! Take baby steps if you feel like a loser that’s a horrible way to see yourself. Anybody can turn things around
