    Dear Hamza:

    It is very difficult to interact with people who you believe think of you as less worthy than they are, friends and girlfriend. I doubt the quality of friendship and relationship when you are treated as inferior, or you believe that you are.

    This is an important point to look into: do your friends and girlfriend treat you as inferior or might it be that you inaccurately perceive them treating you as inferior to them?

    I think you’re perfectly fine just the way you are and you dont have to prove yourself to others…. Remember actions speak louder than words.

     

    You need to understand you dont need validation from others, you need it from yourself.

     

    Just love yourself and sometimes its okay to belittle yourself, it shows you’re humble.

    Hi Hamza,

    I feel each of us are unique. We all have many things we can offer. I don’t believe one person “is better” than another. God made us all equal, he does not make junk. If you are in your head all the time thinking you are better than your girlfriend, your friends, you are not enjoying the present moment, because you are preocupied about being better, or proving yourself. I think, next time you go out with your friends, enjoy the moment. Don’t get inside your head. Enjoy the conversation, don’t judge it, or them. Have fun, laugh. When the thoughts go back to “I’m better then they are” distract yourself and get back in the present moment of enjoying their company. Enjoy the fact, that you have wonderful friends and a girlfriend to do things with, when so many people don’t.

    Remember that attachment is the root of all suffering and that there are plenty of fish in the sea. You are still young enough to find more and not get caught up on one particular person. Focus more on loving yourself and being the kind of person that you would be happy with and then you’ll effortlessly attract the right people into your lives. Don’t be a slave to other people’s opinions.
