It's really about validating myself and knowing that I'm valuable and not needing everyone to tell me. |
This is ME! Yes, it is really what I do. I can't tell myself,
"Hey you did a great job on this or that!" Part of me may feel great that I was a success, but there is also that part that keeps yelling,
"You made a fool of yourself. Nobody likes you. You can't do anything right."
I admire your courage to be so honest in here. It takes a lot of courage to say what you said in this thread.
