I apologize for this in advance, but I feel like I'm having a hard time fitting in here.

I don't think I do enough to help everyone here. I can't save anyone. Half of my abilities don't work for me anymore.

I am a liability. Several people waste their time keeping me safe even though I have nothing to contribute.

I don't know what to do anymore. Even asking for advice like this is selfish of me, I know, but I can't think of anything else to do. I don't want to sit around and do nothing but it feels like that's all I've been doing, and whenever I turn to action, it just causes grief.

I don't think people measure each other based on what they can contribute. If they protect you, it most likely simply means that they like you--that isn't really something you can define with prerequisites. That's just what friends do; they think you're worthwhile even when you don't.

Besides, even if you think you can't do anything, everybody has something that they're good at. Humans are really great like that, and I bet you're no different. Is there anything you enjoy doing? Anything you might be skilled at even if it's just a little?
