Good morning. I’m new here and I’m struggling

Hi, I’m also new here, too, so who knows if anything I have to say is helpful, but I just wanted to tell you that I feel you. You’re very much not alone. When I get stuck in that void of feeling unloveable, I try to go through my memories to see if there has ever been a time when I did feel loving connection. When the void feels too deep to do that, sometimes I look for someone to help, like checking in on a friend who I know is struggling with something, giving some money to an unhoused person, buying or crafting a small gift for someone I love, or just being kind to a stranger. While I want to be careful not to tie my self-worth to my productivity, I feel like shifting my focus away from myself helps me crawl out of that void sometimes.

We as humans were made to love others by nature. We like to share love and feeling loved. So by helping others and put the love out there actually helps us. Yo are putting too much enfasis on how others might be feeling towards you by the way they look, act, around or towards you. Remember everyone has their own challenges. And you can't control everyone else's feelings. Not everyone is gonna like you 100% just like you might not like everyone it's just the way it is. But more than 50% of the time is never about you. It's just the brain trying to comprehend what is happening with the other individual why is he looking you like that or acting that way and makes the wrong assumption Example: you walk into work the boss looks mad you say good morning and he doesn't respond just looks at you and doesn't say anything. You might think People hate me! what did I do wrong ?am I gonna get fired? Etc etc When in reality maybe the boss had an argument with someone else or receive a bad phone call. Wee shouldn't be so quick to assume things.

I am also new here and infact, joined this group today only after searching for OCD support group online. I was also struggling today, so I joined here.
