I'm not perfect, but so what? I'm good enough FOR ME, and that's what matters.
IF you can live with this mindset, you to can be happy.
Be discontent, disappointed of whatever you are. It's not liked it's hard, the many evil's can make you depressed without your help.
LIVE diffidently.
Be miserable.
It's harder for self-diffident people to be happy. So why bother?
Your not perfect, and you never will be! Your not good enough for anyone else, and that is why you don't matter.
IF you can't live with this mindset, you should suicide.
Sorry just wanted to try that and see what it looks like.
OT, you are right but for the people who are already depressed, they will find it a lot more difficult, and we have a few of those here on the escapist. They need others to cheer them on and constantly remind them to chill out and do things at your own pace before they can pick themselves up.
Edit: Does the writing at the bottom of your avatar say what I think it does, if so that's hilarious.
