i share a commonality with you, in that i totally hate myself. i have never measured up to my ideals for myself, i am not physically flawless or even passable in my own opinion
i am much more accepting of others, than myself.

and i have a bf that loves me so much and this is so new to me, to be treated as a princess and why? why me? he could have someone better.

that is my thought and what i deal with daily.

i can see this (but i cannot change it in my own self ) i can see that you dislike yourself and don't understand your own self worth. the truth is he loves you as you are because you are a wonderful person. a shining and brilliant star
you can't see this though. (as i can't see any worth or good thing, in me. )
but i am loved, so there has to be something worth loving , inside, right?
there is with your self as well honey

i can't DO this - but i've thought of and considered it often . your own self has one short try at this life. and if you hate that 'self', how sad is that. it's like you are being mean to your self. what if you could just treat your SELF, tenderly, and gently and like you are a princess.
what if you could just love yourself because you are unique and you are in the world trying.

hey, if you'll try to do this, then i will try to do this too.
we have only one shot at life here - why should we hate ourselves so much? it seems as a waste

thanks for letting me respond
