I just deleted instagram because nobody likes my photos and it made me feel terrible about myself

I made my instagram account 6 years ago, with the main intention to promote my fashion business. After it went bust, I just started posting photos, whatever I wanted. Then I started noticing that my photos weren't really getting likes. I know that every one feels this way but for me I had the same 2 people who would like each of my photos. It felt so pathetic, and made me feel so fucking lonely and unwanted. I had my family and friends who would like them, but somehow they didn't really count in my mind, I just wanted random people to like them. I would literally compare myself to people who are drop dead fucking gorgeous and who have their whole lives together.<br><br>Artificial validation means nothing. Few people will ever give you that, and honestly you should take satisfaction in your talents. I just wish they valued me as a person. I know I'm not pretty, I'm not talented and I am not interesting. I know i'm not a failure, but I just feel so disposable and alone like I can't create anything valuable.<br><br>I'm so sick of it, I'm so sick of feeling this way. instagram just made it worse
