Hi lovelybones,
Thank you for sharing with me. It helps.
I find myself in a strange situation when I interact with people. Friends tend to keep me at a distance when they find out how negative I am about everyone and everything. Some are helpful, at first, but I feel them slowly creat a space. Some do want to help me, but I push them away and when they do back away, I feel abandoned. Can't win either way can they?!
A moment ago, I just went through the emotion of anger and disapointment. They should not have acted this way and they only acted this way because of this and that....huh..stop shoulding.(Im thinking out loud) I had to use the thought record to purge it out of me. It helped a bit.
Back to the topic, I agree with you LB, we have to love ourselves first before we can love others and be loved by others. Process is not easy but I am slowly getting there.
