I just want to be wanted, you know? I want to be the person that people see and they’re genuinely happy to see me because they like me, not because I’m a means to an end.
@drakescott
This short video manages to summarize my entire life. The sense of desperation described here has shaped and defined my life to the point that I, at 53, not only feel hopelessly ensnared in myltiple bad situations, but also overwhelm and frustrate any therapist I seek out. They simply don't know what to do with someone who has painted himself into multiple corners through this desperate lack of self esteem.
@Ron_F
Dealing with this now while on the job search and its soooooo depressing...looking forward to the advice dr. Scott.
@shadowjolteon4201
I'm amazed at how well you understand topics that are hard to talk about. You have my thanks. It helps knowing that, if nothing else, there's someone out there that gets it.
@kewldude23xx
This is so true. I say yes to anyone who likes me, not necessarily because I like them.
@jruiz71284
Yep. Been stuck for 9 years 😢
@davidford5896
Yep. I married my first wife for this reason and stayed in that toxic marriage for 18 years. I've also worked for the same employer for 30 years in an unskilled labor job.
@Goodgrief44
Yep
@theohallworth2632
yeah i literally have no boundaries because i don’t feel like i have other options for friends/partners. or i know that finding the right people would be a lot of effort.
@jeremiahalexander5513
You just described my 20s and 30s.

Self esteem has always been an issue for me. I guess thats why sometimes when some people get to an age where they finally don’t care what people think of them, they leave the dead-end job, or the horrible relationship, or friendship. It is very sad that it takes so many years and it is alarming what a big chunk of life they wasted thinking they weren’t deserving of better.

Your content is very helpful, as always! 👍👍
@julialucas1482
If we were simpler creatures, it might make sense that we carry the desperation around for a long time. Humans have the power to change though. If we can think of ourselves as powerful creators who deserve to be here, then we can become happier.
@Shamus-x7k
I have been here for longer than I am willing to say publicly. When good opportunities come along I often reject them and deflect or convince others not to invest into such a risk. It's my equivalent of saying, you can choose and deserve better.
@tihana13
You hit the nail on the head! Thank you! ❤
@007balzak
I love you man! You are sooo right on the dot, every single time.

I remember a couple years ago (probably 2019), I had a “friend”. My so-called friend was my neighbor across the street. His wife pushed him out the door and we (my ex and myself),mostly me, accepted him into our home. I felt liberated. I felt a joy in my life that I didn’t know existed. Long story short, my (friend) was not a good person.
@MsGigi777
Wow, Scott. This is why I’ve always desperately held on to absolute TRASH men with a white-knuckled death grip. Light bulb moment. TY.
