T pointed out today that I gather my sense of self worth through others. According to him , if a child is not loved for just being themselves they lack a positive sense of self worth. I find this "love" in the happiness of others. If they are happy with me then I feel loved. But if they are upset or sad I attribute it to me and start to feel bad about myself. This leaves me at the mercy of how others perceive me or how I perceive they perceive me. This is my unhealthy way of feeling loved. What are some ways that one can build their self worth from within? How do you self love?
