I have never really accepted myself.

But, as much as I want to be accepted by others I refuse to conform. I need to be accepted for being me and I often have trouble with that. I am constantly second guessing myself and worried about what people would think of me. I don't think highly of myself so why should anyone else. I am excited for that to change though. I start CBT (Cognative Behaviour Therapy) next week and look forward to gaining some skills that will help me do away with the negative thinking.

I really hate to admit it but my acceptance of myself relies upon what others think of me. Now alone again, it is pretty low.
