Dear Hareesh:

Your friends most likely don’t have as great a life as you think they do. Often people who experience misery and self-dislike imagine other people are living those perfect lives, but it only appears that way from the eyes of the depressed and down-on-himself person’s view.

Please have some empathy for yourself. You are suffering and you need kindness, and not referring to yourself as “just a waste.”

You are not a waste, you are a valuable person who is suffering. If only you went through the process of healing, of getting on-your-own-side in life, being your own best friend, you will realize that indeed you are valuable, worthy, as important as anyone else out there.
