"For as long as I can remember, I’ve thought I had to earn my place in people’s lives. That if they chose to stay, it was because I’d convinced them I was useful in some way.... And I’ve told people that their worth doesn’t come from others. It’s there because everyone has inherent worth.... Never was quite able to convince myself of that though." Oh Hayden.... -biggest hugs- I want to tell you that you aren't alone in feeling this way. Sadly dealing with this again as I type this due to being triggered by "family" again... I will keep telling you and never stop telling you that you are BRAVE...you are VULNERABLE and REAL. You are always YOURSELF and I know I appreciate that. Yes, ABSOLUTELY someone can feel that connected to you that quickly and yes YOU are worth their time, love, and attention. (echoing the quoted parts) I can't tell myself any of that because my "programming" since childhood won't let me... I hope one day I will feel differently but, for now, I'm going sit in my "mental punish corner"
Awe thank you ☺️ yeah I’m still learning to maybe just believe it and see what happens. Hopefully I can overcome this self concept at some point and maybe just accept what he’s doing 😅
