          i think the point of the meme is that even if we don’t feel lovable, that might just be because we haven’t discovered how to love ourselves yet. Not trying to put too much weight on two sentences but that’s my take. Past performance is not indicative of future results you know? I didn’t learn to love my own self until i was almost 50. Some people have to go longer. Some never figure it out i’m sure.

          Your worth isn’t dependent on how others have treated you, I can promise you that. I’m glad you’re here today and interacting on my post and I hope it stirred something in your heart to help you reconsider your opinion of yourself!

            It’s not about loving myself. I think I’m pretty decent. It’s just luck of the draw that everyone around me has their head up their ass. I rationally know I should be loved. I emotionally feel the lack and don’t understand it.

              well GBM that does sound difficult. I’m glad you’re able to recognize your own self worth even in the face of loneliness and I truly hope your fortune changes for the better. <3 i would give you a big old hug if i could comrade
