Hi,

I feel I need to share this fear of mine..

I'm really scared people won't like me! I don't know how much of this is based on reality - rationally, I'm thinking that, obviously, some will and some won't, but I'm scared that no one will..

This probably goes back to my parents who didn't like me.. I guess there's a little girl inside of me thinking if they - the people who brought me into this world and who should have loved me more than anyone - didn't like/love me, who else would! But they were just two people, right? There's no reason why someone else wouldn't/couldn't love me..

But isn't it so that even when we don't like someone, we should at least try to get along with them? I'm worried that if I get a job, there'll be someone there who won't like me - and who will then make my life hell! But even then, I can at least try to get help, right?

There aren't any guarantees in life. Some people with like us and some won't. Yes, we should try to get along with people in our lives. Just be yourself. xo Your parents had issues having NOTHING to do with who you were; most all parents love their children. I am sorry you weren't loved, but you can be loved now.

Thank you so much for your reply, nicoleflynn! It made me smile and feel relieved
