How do You Feel About/Towards Yourself?

I'm self loathing, guilt-ridden, and ruled by shame. But I'm trying to unlearn it.

I look at myself and I see potential that I can't find anywhere else. I've seen past what's temporary and a waste of time, yet that's what it stays as, unused potential. No one believes in me and no one ever has. I don't even think I believe in myself to be quite frank, emotionally at least.

It's difficult to explain, but I can tell that it hurts.. a lot... but any attempt to change it seems hopeless.
@MartinTheFirst I'm so sorry to hear that. That feeling of being absolutely alone is horrible.

What do you mean by, "any attempt to change it seems hopeless?"

@Perspectivedetective That I'm stuck.
@MartinTheFirst What do you wish to change? I can really identify with seeing potential in yourself. I am also stuck. I'm trying to wriggle free from the muck. It's all we can really do, eh?

@Perspectivedetective i wish to be happy
@MartinTheFirst do you know what that would look like for you?

@Perspectivedetective as a dream, yeah. Reality? no
@MartinTheFirst What's it look like in a dream? I don't know what happiness looks like for me, either.
