Wow what you wrote really struck a chord with me. I actually came to realize while talking to a friend that I can see that I’m a good person I can see why people including my fiancé love me, and I’m proud of the person I am, however I don't believe it… if that makes any sense.
I’m in a great place in my life, I just lost 20 lbs and still working on more for the wedding, I’m pretty, I’m smart, loving, a good friend. But I just can’t let myself believe it. It’s strange and maybe I’m the only one that goes through this… it’s not really my self-esteem I feel it’s more me not wanting to accept that I am who I am.

You were there for your sister when she needed you, you were happy for her happiness, right? You gave her space when she needed it. You deserve that and more. Think about that. Sometimes in life we need to put ourselves first. Looks like this is your time to do that. I am a middle child too, I know the struggles. I wish the best for you, you deserve it.
