Do you feel that you are not good enough?

The reason you get ignored is not because of you, but because that is what people are like these days. It's all about them. The majority could be either selfish, too busy, or not interested in doing anything unless they initiate it themselves.

The fact you compare is because society teaches us if we are not successful we are not important. Often those who compare and compete do have some lower self-esteem issue, as they need validation.

Try to focus on just doing your best, and appreciating your own accomplishments. Often to succeed at business these days, many of those persons will be be very assertive, cold and rude. The ones who sit back and wait though at least can stay true to themselves. That is what is really to be respected.

Yup... I know all that, but my mind keeps going its own way... And I know it doesn't matter how many accomplishment I have or don't have, I've even had (some) professional artists tell me that...

So, I've decided that I'm great even if I have many flaws

Well then you are quite correct.

This is a huge problem with society as a whole. Maybe work out how to build better defensive walls? Communicate to them in the moment, when they say something patronizing, no matter how small, clearly explain to them that it hurts you. Of course they will reply "well, look who is being overly sensitive". Which is fine. Then the next time it happens, explain again, slowly. Maybe after 20 or so times it will start to sink in to their thick skulls.

But ultimately, this is their problem not yours. What greater purpose is there than to create an nurture life? Is abandoning your child more "worthwhile"?

I think I'm good enough, but other people don't. Even if I try to do exactly what they tell me, they always make up some new thing I'm missing or other reason I don't live up to their standards.
