I feel as I don’t matter

I feel as I don’t matter. I never did fit in. My girlfriend left after five years. It has been two since she left. I’ve never felt so alone in my life. Am I to be my only support?

  1. You do matter… and I know I’m a stranger, but I’m telling you that you matter. I went through something similar, I’ve never really fit in and personally, I’ve always struggled with making friends/connections with people. I was in a relationship for 6 years and then he cheated on me/dumped me – and that was 2 years ago. As to feeling like you’re your only support, I can offer 2 pieces of advice: first, try to start trusting that others can be your support and let them in (i.e. friends, family, etc.), second – embrace being your own support, it can actually be very empowering. Trust me, I know it’s a long journey – but you matter and you’re worth it, the very fact that you can feel pain and feel alone means that you’re a wonderful person with a heart and feelings, so remember that every time that you think you don’t matter, because, again, you do! – I can’t stress that enough. Hope my two cents helps!
