In "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman, the protagonist Eleanor reflects on her past and how others perceive her. She feels like an outsider, often unloved and unwanted. This feeling is amplified by her isolation and the emotional scars she carries, which she describes metaphorically as being "irreparably damaged." The quote illustrates her deep-seated struggles with self-worth and acceptance.

Through Eleanor’s journey, readers witness her gradual transformation as she learns to navigate relationships and confront her past. The story highlights the complexities of mental health and the impact of kindness in healing.
