I don't want to copy your answer, but this came to me before I even opened your post... That I'm lovable. That I have value is probably closely related. Prior to therapy I felt like an outcast and a weirdo that no one could love and people could just tolerate at best. Now I feel a lot better about myself, and I notice where I have pushed people away in fear that they won't like me... So I'm starting to feel less alone as I realize I am actually ok, lovable, not that messed up and people that are worth a damn like me or more. I also like myself a lot more!
