No one will ever understand you, you'll always fake emotions to fit in and be social. It will at times make you depressed, that is until you realize that everyone else does this. Now find something that makes you happy, do that. Become good at it and perfect your skills at it, meet people with the same interests as you that you can just hang with and talk with. Also, just because one thing that you like (guns) aren't a good hobbie to have in your area that doesn't mean you just stop and do nothing.Find something else your good at. (You don't see me doing nothing because I can't be a pornstar).
I say best thing to do is get a girlfriend at least that's what I believe is the way to get out of it. Of course night time and video games also help.
You're thirteen and your posts are better than any other kid's posts I've seen. Insecurity is normal, but it seems like you've just got this idea in your head that you are a loser. There are obvious signs (you having hobbies, seeming mature for your age, and having lots of friends) that you are a great person, but you seem to willfully ignore them. No one feels accepted all the time, but you can't let it get to you. I felt the same way about myself until I realized that several old friends who moved out of state would always make an effort to stop by my house and visit me when they were in town (or even in state). Why would they do that if I was a bad person? Same principle applies to you: why would you have friends if you were as much of a loser as you tell yourself you are?
Like everyone's said, insecurity is normal, and find something you excel at. Learn to play an instrument, and really [i]learn[/i] it; whenever I'm insecure I take out my baritone or trombone and play some Greensleeves. Find a hobby, and find a group of friends who are right for you. Things may seem down at times, but everyone's human, don't let little things get to you. :)
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself to stop being a woman.
Hey man come back to the south (South Carolina), it sounds like you fit in over here rather on the western side of the United States.

Why is everyone telling him to move, he's 13 he's not just going to pack up and move because you tell him to.

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;18723221]I cannot make myself feel like a good person. I can never think of myself as someone who will ever get far in life, and I think I'm a terrible person. I've tried therapy, discussions, and pills, but none of them work. I'm not necessarily saying that I'm depressed, it's just that I think of myself as an inferior to others, with no redeeming qualities. Another thing is that the things I'm good at, people around me hate. I'm a southerner that lives in Los Angeles. Everybody has been saying that I'm a good friend, a good person, ect. but I just can't believe it. So how do I make myself feel good about myself. I couldn't find another section that would house this, so I assumed it would go in general discussion, so move this if this isn't the right section.

You've got to get off of your ass and do something interesting to you. It's the only way. If your in school, join the wrestling team, you may think its gay, but its just hand to hand combat without punching and kicking. Youl feel like a badass, and you will.
[QUOTE=zombiefreak;18723685]Guns. I'm great at mostly everything with guns. Repairing them, shooting them, and learning about them. However, because I live in :ca:, it is considered "bad".[/QUOTE] Oh really? Interesting. What firearms do you (or should I say your dad, since you can't own a gun legally at 13)own? Same thing with me too.

You'll get over it soon enough. Just try not to stagnate.

[b]YOU[/b] think you're a failure. No qualities, a few people hate you, you need therapy, pills, discussion about how you feel... Why won't you think you're a failure? See, you're so bummed in the thought that you're failure that you can't see you're [b]not[/b]. Instead of accepting the help you still focus about ways to make you seem like a horrible person. You can't even accept the fact that you're a good friend depsite what your friends tell you. You're paralyzed inside your own feeling of failure, and until you do something about it you will keep being paralyzed for as long as you live.
Start exercising. It increases your self esteem and confidence by leaps and bounds. Fuck unreasonable drug laws; start smoking weed immediately. Find people to hang out with and toke, relax and talk to - you'll find it's the best group therapy there is. By the time you've learned to chill out and be comfortable around people, you might just have a decent body image and get a girl to spend some time with. Basically, stop being a loser. ESPECIALLY stop admitting to yourself that you're a pathetic loser and do something about it. Your cynicism disgusts me - be positive and your life will turn around.
Listen to some heavy-ass metal and purge every negative emotion from your body. I'm not shitting you. Catharsis via music will make you a better person in the long run.
Get yourself into one of those saw traps, apparently after having your limbs snapped you start to appreciate life.

do something constructive or get with a girl [editline]01:02AM[/editline] just don't turn into an emo they're fucking gay
Stop caring about other people for a while. Get some hobbies. After a while go back to your social life. (I really can't explain the detail of my own transformation from depressed greedy bitch to just a greedy bitch) And hey, a lot of people bitch at me for not wanting a career, but working more towards having a happy, GOOD family. I don't give a flying fuck what they think about it because that's my choice. When I said I wanted to go to tritech skills center, my nav teacher instantly said I shouldn't. Why? No reason he could tell me. When I wanted to take drafting classes, he again said I shouldn't. Now I'm taking both Tritech and Drafting classes. Bitch. At least I have more experience than most students.
Apply sandpaper to your face, I heard it does wonders when you're trying to make yourself look better or are just tired of people making fun of your ugly appearance.
