Well, Christina, I think that the Q's are meant to challenge whatever flaws that you perceive yourself to hold.

Break the Q down to a faceless person. Just a similar person to yourself in general. What personality characteristics would that person have, in order to be loveable, even though they share a similar past as you. Or, do you view others with a similar past to be unlovable? (probably not, we're a LOT easier on others than we are on ourselves.) Chances are good that you'll still find that person to be worthy of love of oneself and the love from others.

Next, what traits do you really hold against yourself? Can you let go of these traits, and learn new, healthier traits to replace them & make yourself feel more worthy of other people's love?

I can REALLY relate to your problem answering these Q's, as I feel the same way towards myself. I hold myself to higher standards. To perfection. Perfection isn't possible, I know that, but that knowledge does not subdue my deep desire to push myself.

Just a couple of days ago, my T and I got into a similar discussion. I kick myself for not being perfect at anything & everything. I know, I sound like an idiot because these desires are absolutely impossible! I know that. Rather than accepting that I do better than many others at ___, I focus on myself not being the best. For me, it's not in competition to put others down. That's not it at all! My focus on perfection is due to my inability to accept compliments given to me ~ rather than continue to put myself down.

My T's point is that I need to keep it simple & accept that I'm doing pretty well at _____. And leave it at that! Maybe simply telling myself statements like these over and over again will ingrain that positive thought pathway into my brain, instead of sticking with the current negative pathway.

I hope that my response helps you somewhat, or at least makes you feel a little better about struggling with such a tough issue to get through!
