Lately I have realised

That I have deep people pleasing habits. And all the time I thought I hate people. Truth is both have been true . I hate people because I just can't relate with their perfect healthy brain non depressed lives but at the same time I need validations . Serious validations for the things that caused me this mess in the beginning.
There was a time where I had a thirst for knowledge and desire to learn . Now after years of toxicity, i just want that people should see me as knowledgeable and see that I have a thirst for knowledge.
But its a strange feeling you know .i am quite a mediocre person with mediocre rate of learning and problem solving skills so why am I even competing in this mess ? Why do I get triggered every time I see someone succeed ? When deep down I know what my limits are .
Same goes for beauty but damn its a hard mess here . I never feel enough. And its a strange feeling. Because I dress up I feel nice. But when all my girlfriends dress up nicely and they all look nice , I just feel that I am not actually beautiful. Its just clothes . I am actually very mediocre looking. And I just feel that if I am so medicore, Why did I ever bother to feel the need to compete for beauty? Because I would never look drop dead gorgeous if not for good clothes . And the same clothes worn by others would make them very pretty too but they are naturally beautiful while I need clothes to make me pretty so why am I even trying to compete when I got no chance at all .

I think its a high time I accept my limits. Seriously. Make peace with it . There are billions of people smarter than me, sexier than me , prettier than me , richer than me , luckier than me and my brain 👏🏽 must 👏🏽 accept 👏🏽that 👏🏽. What matters at the end of the day is I get my shit done . I study with what little brain I have . Period. I study to get a job that I deserve with the hard work I put in . Period . I go to gym and workout with whatever body I have. Period . I feel miserable and still live to get my shit done. Period. At the end of the day , it is I who cleans the mess up and beat suicidal thoughts. Period. And damn I am proud of that . Yess I said it . I am proud of "my efforts to live" .

My heart goes out to you. At the same time, as I read what you wrote, I kept thinking, “ but what is the measure here? What is the bar you are trying to reach that you don’t feel good enough for? Where does that idea of the bar come from? What prevents you from being open to other forms of success that are a good fit for who you are?”

As far as self acceptance goes, it might be better to start examining that more so than getting caught up in the limitations part.

Don't judge yourself by other people's accomplishments. That's a no win game.
As long as you do the best that you can, that makes you a winner.
I'm proud of you, too. ❤️ 🤗
And, your brain is NOT little.
