Everyone needs something or someone to believe in. Believing in you is something that everyone seems to be pushing these days. But when you lose that, there's always something else.
There are those that try to impose religion on you. Some people take that to a level where the belief, the faith, is insane. I believe in God, just not to the point where I let Him and the Bible dictate my life. A little faith is enough.
Then there's the belief in others. If you can't believe in yourself, believe that someone else will be your pillar of strength and support. Believe that they will make it all better, keep all your secrets and tell you that everything will be okay. Bullshit. You can't trust anyone except yourself, and on those rare occasions that you do or you can, the friendship is short lived, or disappointing. Basically, something fucks it up. Very rarely does it sustain the test of time.
Then there's the belief that it will all get better. Ever heard someone say "Everything will look better in the morning"? Well it doesn't! My god, all that happens is you wake up worse than before this time due to lack of sleep. You can't just believe that everything will be okay if you just let it be. You have to get up off your ass and do something to make it better. I hate that line most of all, it's not better in the morning, and it wont be better next week. Not unless you start doing something about it.
Another one believes that drinking and fucking yourself to oblivion will somehow make all your troubles disappear. That's the dumbest thing to believe. It numbs it... for about 2 minutes. Then you have your problems AND a hangover... and maybe some freak in your bed in the morning (hey... he LOOKED normal the night before...)
Why is it so necessary to have someone there to make things better for you? What happened to that self-confidence that tells you "it's okay... your doing the right thing, and if it fucks up, it's not the end of the word"?
Mine must have committed suicide.
I have that lousy talent that allows me to pick the worst possible candidates to be open and honest with. Then when the shit finally hits the fan it all happens when everything else is falling apart. Then there really is nothing.
I want to believe in myself, and I want to think that I'm doing everything the way it's supposed to happen. And that no matter what, I can fix my mistakes. I'm tired of making bad decisions about my friends, and about the people I trust. I don't understand why people can't be self sufficient. More so, why I can't be like that.
Having said that, nothing makes me feel better than knowing I helped someone. Maybe it's because I trust myself with others. But at the end of the day, maybe I am my own worst enemy, maybe we all are. Maybe that's why we have to depend on others to stay sane.

If you can't have faith in others, then as you said you can always know that you are a good person who does wonderful things for people without asking for anything in return, only the satisfaction that you can give yourself knowing that you did something good for your fellow human being. Eventually you will be rewarded for your generosity. By that I mean that people will eventually take notice of your kind heart and will be in awe and will thank you for the good that you have done.

I wish I had your little piece of faith. Faith is a gift. I have to make myself believe in god. the belief in god goes against my analytical way of thinking.

You can gird yourself around with walls of mistrust and hate for your fellow man, or you can look each one in the eye as you meet, and smile. The ones who smile back may not be your friend, but you can trust in a general good nature that they will help those who are helping themselves and others.
Have patience, keep faith in yourself. That faith will grow as you accomplish more. Always ask yourself if there is another way to do what you are trying, and ask those strangers who smiled back. Sooner or later the sureness you feel in your abilities will show, and people will begin to come to you.

Without fear of God, many people would be confused and lost.
