I've decided to tackle my low self-esteem big time! The last few days, I've been asking myself..

WHY do I put my dad, mum, and other people who haven't 'seen' me, understood me, or who've been downright abusive towards me, on such a high pedestal that their opinions, how they feel and what they say about me, what they've done or failed to do - I act as though they're GOD and like it's the Truth about me!

Well, it doesn't really even matter WHY I do this.. What matters is that I STOP. I need to start listening to and believing the people who DO love me, who are 'on my side' - there aren't many, but there's enough. And once I start to trust people in general more thanks to these few lovely friends I'm lucky enough to have, I can make many new friends
