I hope you get it worked out soon in regards to getting additional help and support there IRL.

I do try to support others and Ive learned a lot about myself, as in I like to be liked by everyone and it's not always possible, so i've learned to let go in some ways and not let it bother me.

That's so cool to read. I can so relate to that. It was also very important to me that I be liked. I think it's because I thought that my worth was measured by being liked. How wrong I was, ya know?

I thought if I wasn't liked, I wasn't accepted, validated as a human almost.

The thing is, I've learned like you have that even when someone doesn't like me, they've still accepted me. They've accepted what I'm about and what I have to offer and don't like it. THAT'S OK. It's OK because I've learned that it's not so much as they don't like me as it is that they don't care for what I put out there whether it's due to disagreement, personality conflict, etc.

Long story short, I think I've realized that they don't necessarily dislike me as a human, but dislike things about me. There's a big difference to me.

Now, I could try to jump through hoops and run around like a hen on a hot rock after a worm to change things about me when they'll be others that don't like those things then. We have to be us and give what we can.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Love,

KD
