I had lost lately my hopes that I could beat my personality traits and find a balance in my life. I felt so stuck and frustrated because I knew there were a part of me that never dared to go out.
Always wanting all perfect as in my ideal world. Depending on others because I believed my own stupid thoughs that tell me constantly that I'm not a normal person, that I don't deserve breathing the same air others breath.
Perhaps I needed to bottom so I could be awared of all these negative messages of hating I gave to myself along so many years.
Thanks to my psychologist I'm learning to be myself without all these fears and forgive my faults.
I couldn't see that I have many positive things and that I can offer to people who are ready to accept them.
If I think each person is a treasure why I was thinking the contrary about me.
Only wanted to share this.

Why? Do you feel different or think you don't deserve their company?

I'm working on this with my therapist too. I'm trying to believe good about me, but it's hard. I'll keep trying. So glad for you.

I know it. It's not easy. I'm usually very affectionable and compassive with others but I barely used affection or compassion towards me. This is one of the reasons why my psychiatrist diagnosed me with Perfectionism. My perfectionism traits were helping me to feel less anxiety and look for improvements but it's a double-side sword. Meanwhile, it causes me lots of suffering. A constant search for controlling everything and an eternal insatisfaction, beside my frustration because of me not being able to be and show my own being.

Btw, someone here suggested me recently, when posting about hiw my thoughts beat me over and over again, mindfulness.
I unknown if you are touching some of it with your therapist.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
