I have zero self confidence, zero self esteem, grew up with hardly any friends, no social life, and failed at every attempt to improve my life.

I feel like I'm being punished for how my life has turned out so far. People who I thought I could count on for moral support blocking and ghosting me, a car going through my living room two years ago, a friend dying suddenly and getting school funding cut for taking time off to deal with it, having the roof nearly blown off from a storm, my CRA account hacked and blocked, being unable to hold down a full time job due to mental health struggles, and failing at every attempt to improve my life.

People have suggested posting positive affirmations around my bedroom and/or in a mirror. It's one thing to tell myself positive affirmations, but it's a different thing to believe it.

Just like there are people out there who are born lucky, there are people out there who are just born to lose. I look at myself and all I see is a failure and a loser. I'm just tired of losing at life.

Kingof8, at the least you are very articulate. I think (and my opinions are rarely followed) that you should focus on your strengths rather than your luck. You know how to write well, you know how to think clearly about how you experience your life. Luck, by definition, can't be changed. But you can focus on what is in your power to make better.
