Don't compare yourself with others. Thats the mistake we all tend to make. Also don't look at what others have. Those things may not work for us. God teaches us lessons in life. We have to learn and grow from it.

My life is so bad and I feel like I'll never amount to anything. I also feel like God hates me. I feel like he is laughing at how miserable I've become.

May I ask what it is about your life that makes you feel that way?

Well. I sure have learned some lessons. Just didn't expect to have such a miserable life. :(

You must be going through some difficult season in your life. I had plenty of bad times myself. Its painful when you are going through it. This is the scripture for you.
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline
then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:5-11

See! He loves you.

I'm been at that place, too. Learned/learning to rely on Yahweh and His Word. Encourage you to look at these -

-Yahweh loves you with an everlasting love (John 3:16-17, Jer 31)

-"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jer 29:11

-“The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Job 33:4

-“...even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Luke 12:7 (that number is constantly changing)

-“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." Zeph 3:17

-"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psa 46:1

-We can build up our spirits with His Word John 6:63 Suggest: reading Psa 145 out loud. It's a great chapter.

My life is so bad and I feel like I'll never amount to anything.
When people feel like this, it sometimes can be seen as an opportunity instead of a problem. Time to let God take over. maybe you haven't let him help run your life? Dont you trust Him? It has been my experience that I tend to go downhill when I try to manage my life by myself. When I not just consult Him but let Him take over, my life turns out better.

at what @longwait saidThis is true. A plant or a small tree is given a binding frame so that it may grow straight because its too weak or else it will fall to one side or the other. same with life. and under gods precepts. laws. rules. I don't really know what word to use here. under gods word. Even though life may not be so grand. Its so that in your season you will be in abundance. and in the right place. rather than say. thinking that hanging out at a club. partying. and backpacking through Europe. and sleeping with can I say. Loose women. who will go ahead and try to cut their ties from their past to seek you. and will be cut off from you that you may find a beautiful wife from the Lord. because you will have been made to wait for such discernment to see through peoples character. and notice what is given by such a tree.

ask yourself this. Every year. you think man I wish I would have been doing this work last year. Imagine where I would be now. Same thing now. Do it now. and if you continue without having to be pressured by the anxieties of life. But by thirsting after righteousness. God will be proud of you in establishing yourself in him. and will secure your season of wealth and years. Given its a process, of time and effort.

God never created losers! He created conquerors! We are made in his image! God created Adam and Eve to rule on this earth! We are Kings and Priests of God Almighty!

God is not laughing at your misery, but wants to take you out of it! Read 2 Corinthians 1:1-10.

He loves you so much, that he was even ready to give the best he had, his Son Jesus, to die for your and my sins! He loves you so much, that he did not even spare his own Son, but gave him for us!

God will either deliver you from suffering, or if not, will give you the strength and grace, to
pass trough it and endure it.

Difficulties make you do or discover some good things which you would not do or discover
otherwise.

When you worry about the future, which you do not know, it prevents you to function and
enjoy living in the present, which you know.

We all have reasons, to be troubled, but the Word of God, gave us a greater reason, not to be
troubled.

The Holy Spirit is called a Helper! Therefore, no Christian can be helpless again!

We get all kinds of negative images of ourselves from the world, flesh and devil, beginning way back in our families of origin. Our parents were fallen human beings as well as we are, and though they may have done the best they could, it could not have been perfect. Then there's school experiences, the hard knocks of life, and our own mistakes.

All that can form a crushing weight, and that is why it is necessary to go to the word of God to refresh ourselves in the truth. There are plenty of scriptures that remind us of how valuable we are to God, but they can be summed up with the thought that God loved us enough to come and die a horrible death in order to reconcile us back to Himself. If He values us that much, who cares what the world's opinion of us is? How can anyone's estimation of us match up with that of Father God? (see Rom 8)

But there is one potentially weak link in the chain. Even though we are God's beloved, if we don't believe it and act accordingly, the truth will do us no good. We have to receive the truth and actively apply it to our thinking and our lives. Then the word will "become flesh" and be our reality. This is the challenge of faith, the kind of faith that can overcome anything.

How does God run your life? Does he talk to you?

Some of us have no idea what that sounds like. We still have to make complex decisions everyday and we're completely on our own to make them. God doesn't whisper hints...

Our present is the product of our actions in the past. And our future is the product of our actions in the present. So to change your future and make is successful, change your actions in the present and do whatever it takes to achieve your dreams.

God does speak to us in prayer. When I lift my complex decisions to Him, He always tells me what to do. First, He uses His Word in scripture. Then, in prayer, I always receive direction. For me, it's in nudges toward a specific direction. For my husband, it's with pictures that God gives him during prayer. If we seek Him, we will find Him. Jesus was very clear about that.

My life is so bad and I feel like I'll never amount to anything. I also feel like God hates me. I feel like he is laughing at how miserable I've become.

When your feelings contradict the words of Christ in scripture, they are false. When you listen to falsehoods, you allow yourself to be led down the wrong path. You have a choice to either take God at His Word, or to follow your feelings. Choose truth. Reject falsehoods. The choice is up to you. You are my friends if you do what I command. (John 15.14)

Self pity begets more self pity, but faith in Jesus brings power, hope and love.
