I know what you mean!!

I am still trying to figure out what to do differently so I don't "allow people to walk all over me".

I'm going to have to try this grounding exercise that was mentioned in an earlier response.

I just wanted to let you know that I can relate, and I hope that you can get rid of the negativity from those around you so you can like yourself!

It must be really tough having had things embedded in your head that way. I hope you can tell yourself that it just isn't true. You are smarter than that! I think you can get past this - it sounds like you've already made it through much harder things.
