I can understand how you feel that way all in all in all.

I have come to the conclusion of what I always thought, that we're not actually supposed to exactly 'comfort' ourselves. Like, not the way that one human can do for another.
Its something else. I think its how we process pain that matters. Like face the pain, without self-blame etc. Sometimes I put my hands on my tummy and feel protected, sometimes I breathe into it, but to visualise the inner child etc, that never worked for me.

..... by the way, I recently wondered if maybe you didnt like me, or didnt like the things I said, because I find your expressions very relatable to, and it makes me want to answer, but often you dont respond to me....?
am I being paranoid ?
