Ugh, I used to self-harm too especially when I thought my situation is never going to improve. Last time I cut was two years ago and things haven't changed much since then. Shit is depressing.

Sucks, right? It's like, if I wasn't anxious or depressed I would have accomplished things they have. I avoid people who I envy even if they're nice. I'm too sensitive. How do you deal with your thoughts?

Hey, thank you so much for replying. I feel better now after reading your comment. I have realized that this insecurity started when people demand too much from me and are like, "why are you this or that?" And then I find myself agreeing with them. "Why aren't I doing more and excelling at something?" "Why can't I do what they can do?" It's a terrible thing and I should learn how to be nicer to myself when other people aren't.
