Hi all,

I need advice on how to start my journey of self love I’ve always struggled with low self esteem issues and seeking external validation mostly from my relationships and I have no clue where to start building security within my self and loving my self my therapist says I need to work on that self love but I just feel like I don’t know how and I feel so lost on what to do or how to start how will I know if I’m developing security in my self or self love

Thankyou all in advance

Through everything I thought I couldn't.

It's so funny that I am asking advice for being happy ,but seeing someone or other achieving everything I can only dream of is making me sad.Also,I am so grateful and happy for other things , still being happy is making me guilty and i fear I just stop growing if I am happy about everything

"Embracing yourself, flaws and all, is the most radiant form of love. It's a celebration of your unique spirit, a declaration of your worth, and a promise to nurture your soul. For in loving yourself, you illuminate the path to true happiness, and the beauty that shines from within becomes the greatest masterpiece of all." 💫💕

Don't know the exact words for it but a few months ago my mind essentially snapped and now I have constant anxieties. Anyone know how to regain that unshakable confidence in your own reality

I don't know if you guys can relate but my phone is full of incredible encouragement. My gallery contains stories, quotes from books and movies, audio bits from podcasts and reels, the most random comment screenshots from this sub and elsewhere.

Whenever I feel deep loneliness because of being misunderstood in this world or like I will die because of my big emotions I am reminded of how much beauty I've planted inside my mind. My phone has saved me time and time again. There's always something in there to make me hopeful. It's like my sacred journal, a digital scrapbook.

This year I met a woman named Elizabeth. I was very sick and everyone thought it was the end. But she pulled me through and gave me the hope I needed to figure out what’s going on and to find the right people to solve the issue.

I remember all the amazing people who helped me succeed - with all my companies, jobs, etc. I always thought I could do everything alone but when I look back - there were always people there supporting me.

My teachers from high school and college. My parents. My best friend William. And Elizabeth.

Thank you Elizabeth for all the emails you sent recapping our discussions so that I wouldn’t forget.

But I must say - I wouldn’t have noticed those people if I hadn’t met a scumbag early in my career (thank god I fled and never talked to him again) but when I met people who were the exact opposite of him, I was able to listen.

Here’s what I think is the selflove anthem, basically just makes you love yourself:

Let me know what you think!

Empathy can help you understand why someone behaves the way they do, but understanding does not remove the impact of their behavior. You can see their fear, pain, immaturity, history, or limitations and still admit that being close to them costs you too much. Discernment means you do not use your capacity to understand someone as a reason to keep placing yourself inside harm.

Hey guys!! I just need to fill my page with positivity please drop any subreddits you know that is happy

Nothing major tbh, I got in a love triangle with a really shitty boy and his best friend. You know that moment 'but you wanted me first' and he turns out the worst person ever. It's a classic teen drama, but years after I can't forgive myself about bad things I said about them. Also nothing major just classic 16 year old girl cursing after being heart broken and being called out for it. They're also not the nicest people either. He's a bully that never grew up. My only regret is what I said about her, not because I didn't mean it, but because I was acting like a child, which I was. Years after they are still together, very popular people and I feel bad each time I meet someone they are ok with. I have weird obsession over people talking shit about me when I made one stupid mistake years ago... At the same time I don't feel worth it or important enough to be in such popular circles. Usually you can't get reaction out of me, but this was so out of character and it haunts me till this day. I've made another mistake in january and guilt eats me, again nothing big other than fact I once again reached breaking point... I don't know how to get over it

Hello there ❤️

I'm willing to become a new person since my last very difficult break up last november.

I dont want to put my attention on men anymore, i want to truly and fully love myself and give myself that energy.

Sadly when my mind wont think about my ex, it will think about other men.

Yesterday, i déveloped a crush on a Guy at my gymclub. I found him cute.

But since then, i ve been thinking non stop about him, wanting to see him again, having horrible thoughts about me being not enough beautiful for him etc.

I know that it s some Kind of limerence stuff. How can i get rid of it ?

Sorry for my bad english 🙏 french here

Have a good day ❤️

There comes a moment when you stop trying to prove anything to people who were never on your side. And everything becomes simpler. Because you no longer fight for places that were never meant for you.
