Hi,
It's important to understand that experiencing these feelings doesnât make you selfish or unworthy. Often, our minds can amplify negative thoughts and doubts, leading us to unfairly criticise ourselves. It may help to recognise that everyone has their struggles and that seeking support for your own difficulties is not selfish; itâs a necessary step towards healing. You have the right to prioritise your well-being and emotions, just as others do. Speaking to a mental health professional can provide you with a safe space to explore these feelings, gain perspective, and learn ways to manage them. Remember, taking care of yourself is essential, and it ultimately allows you to be more present and supportive for those around you.

You are feeling overwhelmed by guilt and self-doubt, questioning your worth and the impact you have on others. You worry that your struggles make you selfish or a burden. But the truth is, your pain does not define you, nor does it mean you are taking anything away from others.
You care deeply about the people around you, and that shows in how much you consider their feelings. The negative thoughts you’re experiencing are not a reflection of who you truly are—they are symptoms of what you’re going through.
Right now, everything feels heavy, but you don’t have to carry it alone. If you could step back and see yourself with the same compassion you offer others, you might recognize that you are not selfish—you are simply someone in pain, deserving of kindness and support.

1. Remind yourself - you are 20. It is fine for you to feel this way.
2. Nothing can make you feel - they can only bring to surface tour feelings. Remind yourself - you are not selfish.
3. Again, remind yourself - you are your best soldier. Looking out for yourself is not wrong - just ask yourself at what cost.
Next Steps
All these are problems that are coming up because of confusion and guilt. Do not fall for it, believe in yourself & rise above it. Consult a therapist.

Hi
What makes you think that you are selfish?? Is someone constantly making to think that way about yourself??
Do you feel that you are not worth it??
The concept of self concept is made since childhood. It is the environment based on their observations which makes opinions about us and we suddenly start believing in other’s opinion. We sometimes fail to know who we really are.
Talk it out in detail with a psychologist/ counsellor to know the truth about yourself.
