I cannot allow myself the same degrees of grace that I would allow virtually anybody else on the planet.

I feel like my head is so empty and devoid of anything substantial, like I have nothing to contribute to the world, that I bother other people whenever I open my mouth.

Of course, I could trace this back to how I was raised, but I can't blame my parents for me being a failure in life forever.
 
You aren’t alone in feeling like this. I don’t think you have nothing to contribute, though, and you don’t bother me at all.
 
Please don't feel that way. I internalized lies about myself and it took a lot of work before I could like myself and have agency. Only after that could I have been authentic and vulnerable with my future spouse.

@Metalhead, embrace your uniqueness and enjoy your interests. We can help you carry some of the weight of your struggles. You enjoy movies and I can recommend one anime where the characters struggle towards mental health through connection; A Silent Voice.
