RE: Note to the People Who Loved Me When I Wasn't Very Lovable.

I feel you. Sadly, I'm not sure how much it's possible for such people to learn from others as you say (though I too have had that hope for some people I know). I think a lot of this negativity stems from insecurity and self-doubt, which in turn lead us back further into trauma. In other words, it's very hard for these people to rewire their brains because for many, negativity acts as a coping mechanism.

That being said, I don't think it's anyone else's duty to stick by them and tolerate this sort of toxic behavior just so that they don't "seem mean". I think it's paramount to cut out people who are more harmful than good, because you need to take care of yourself and your energy before you can help others.

I see myself in this answer a lot, though I would add that, of the little I know of you, you don't seem like such a sad person :) Just someone with ups and downs, like all of us. Wishing you a blessed day, my friend :)

I think so too but why should anyone be insecure around someone who just wants them in their live?

Fact!

When the ups and downs are too much to handle what crawls in other than sadness and depression? I try my best to make sure I get to smile daily and I bottle up feelings a lot. Sometimes when it seems like I'm going crazy I come on here to read posts at least that'll keep me away from my troubled mind for a while or I just step out into fresh air.

Good question. They don't feel worthy of love? Like they're not someone you should want in your life? That's what I'd guess.

Let that shit out, my friend. Don't bottle it up. You'll be lighter, and just feel better when you stop hiding your truth. If there's pain, why not try and let yourself feel it? Or rage, or anger, or frustration. Those are normal emotions, too, and the sooner you embrace them, the sooner you let that stuff wash away. <3

Seconded!

I'm trying my best dear. Slowly I'm letting them out and I really hope to feel lighter soon.

Your words are always calming. I'm glad I met you Honey 💜💜💜.
