I don't know where to put this thread so mods please move if it's in the wrong section.
I don't even know where to begin with this, but realise that I've never loved myself and that's why I act the way I do. I've always put on a 'mask' with people, I always put myself last, I always think if I'm unhappy it 'doesn't matter' because others in my life are happy. I have so many issues when it comes to relationships and sex. I can't move forward or make my life work out the way I want.
I watched this video today and it brought it all home to me, I do 8 out of the 10 things! It'll make more sense than me. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I75jn1lM-zM 10 Signs You Lack Self Love
]]
Where to even begin to gain self-love? I've had a sh!tty upbringing (hypercritical, gaslighting, controlling parents), which I know is the cause but I can't believe I've gone 49 years without fully realising that I don't love myself the way other people love themselves, and that's where I'm going wrong.
