I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.

That feeling of uselessness is no respecter of age and never asks permission, but corrodes people’s souls, repeating over and over: ‘No one is interested in you, you’re nothing, the world doesn’t need your presence.’

There is nothing worse than having your personal problems become somebody else's entertainment.

I wanted you to experience misery and the death of your innocent conscience because I felt that if you truly did, I would not be a useless life to you." None of us want to be useless.

Some people begin to feel that things are pointless, that they’re helpless or worthless, or that no matter what they try they’ll lose anyway. These are a set of beliefs that must never be indulged in if we ever expect to succeed and achieve in our lives. These beliefs strip us of our personal power and destroy our ability to act. In psychology, there is a name for this destructive mindset: learned helplessness. When people experience enough failure at something — and you’d be surprised how few times this is for some people — they perceive their efforts as futile and develop the terminal discouragement of learned helplessness.

It's very hard, feeling that you're no more than a piece of unwanted furniture in this world.

It’s no joke. These symptoms can become severe. If someone feels useless and hopeless, they feel they don’t need to take care of their families or their children.

Next to want, boredom has become the worst scourge in our lives.

There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering — a hell of boredom.

When you come to the realization that the totality of yourself, what you have treasured, what your friends have admired, is totally useless, you will suffer, but we say, that it is only from this point that there is any hope for your becoming. We are so incredibly small, mere specks in our whole solar system.

I have done no passably decent job in this world which did not at first seem to me useless - absurdly useless, useless to the point of nausea. My secret demon is called :What's the use?

We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.

Self-hatred is worse than loneliness.

Society makes you feel useless as a woman and soon you also start believing that you indeed are useless because of not bearing children.
