“My circumstances also instilled in me inherent feelings of not being good enough, deserving, lovable. They’ve left me with a constant mellow sense of shame around things that were not even at all my fault. These insecurities cause me to show up as a naive people pleaser in situations where I'm emotionally vulnerable. It's an unfortunate truth that this desperation for being truly loved and accepted makes me an ideal target for exploitative people.”

I felt this the most. 👆🏽

I tend to overthink and create worst case scenarios in most situations. Battling terror of always feeling like the ones closest to me are eventually going to get sick of me and leave.

Loving yourself is hard and a constant work in progress.
