I talked with my sponser last night. She wants me for the entire month write down each day a positve attribute about myself. It will be hard. She also told me whenever I look into the mirror tell myself I'm a good person.
Because we cannot accept ourselves, we expect to be rejected by others. We don't allow anyone to get close to us, because if they really knew us they would hate us. To protect ourselves we reject others before they can reject us.
If we have sell-acceptence we no longer have to look for approval of others because we our satisfied with ourselves.
If only I could have self-acceptence.
