Numerous times I have asked myself the same thing, how can anyone love me? I think this is a self-esteem related issue more than anything and it should be fought by seeking self-acceptance. Part of that is realizing that humans are imperfect and everyone makes mistakes. Suki22 you are not doomed. There are people (and animals of course) that will grow to love you after getting to know you. It would help if you could grow to accept yourself.

Please consider the following quote:


My therapist sent this to me last year. It was part of an article on self-forgiveness and those sentences stuck out to me the most. I'm trying to work on not being so hard on myself. By the way, I do not know where the quote originates as I have seen it written on several websites.
