I love that you are so with your feelings. I do not agree with you. I think we find people who hurt us when we do not love ourselves. I have done a ton of therapy and reading and I understand why and I know what I need to do to find the right kind of closeness BUT I wish sometimes that I could just give in to falling in love instead of being afraid and finding facts to back up my fears.

Regardless loving yourself is not easy and I’ve come a long way with it myself. FYI, people are treating me better now that I am treating myself better. Love yourself, you deserve it.
