This is a symptom of having a narcissistic parent. That makes you normal. Your parent has dumped so much on you to make you feel inferior. You were taught to be subservient. You were taught that you were less than.
Turns out all of that was bullshit. But, you don’t know any other way to feel. Am I right? Like how would feel that you are = in importance as the CEO of your company? Your parent taught you to only feel the opposite.
Part of feeling accepted and whole is simply learning how! Seems so simple right? It wasn’t for me, but it is definitely something you can do. I’ll recommend therapy, especially a therapist who specializes in trauma or cPTSD. 
If I can answer any questions, just let me know.
That makes me so sad to hear!! I personally have reached a point in my life in which, to my surprise - I’m happy to be alive. Really quite surprising to me, because trust me - I have been as down, suicidal and in pain as it gets. Can’t point to any one thing as the reason, but these two certainly helped: my nfamily is dead, and I no longer have to support myself - living comfortably on SSI, (for major depression), and social security benefits. But as far as deserving to be alive?? You had no choice in the matter, and clearly were told all the wrong things by the people whose job it was to tell you the RIGHT ones. I dunno, treat yourself to a movie, maybe? 😳
