Met with my therapist today who wants me to work on self-acceptance, accepting myself for who I am and not worrying so much about a 'label'. This is not an easy task to say the least. I've spent so much of my life being self critical because I was always told by my peers (not my family) that I would never amount to anything and that I would always be a loner. How does one become accepting of who they are? That's the question.
