I Have Something On My Mind

I’ve personally struggled with this, but I think it’s not a matter of relying on the energy of others to determine how you should feel about yourself. It seems you must be going through something that’s causing you pain and to not love yourself, and that’s the root of it really. If you can’t accept, forgive, and move past whatever it is that has hurt you, you can’t suppose to genuinely love/ be loved by anyone else. And sure, it’s much easier said than done, but if you TRULY desired to get out of this hole, you’d be making sure that every action and behaviour you display and exude contributes as a step closer to achieving self-love. And likely, it seems that feeling like this may potentially entail the feeling that you are “undeserving” of such love, but quite the contrary. I believe that as humans and our gift of life, intelligence, free will and capacity to FEEL from an unconditionally loving creator, is a sign that that’s how we ought to love and therefore be loved: ‘unconditionally’. You deserve love, my friend, and I promise you that you are loved, and I hope you believe that, and if not, that’s something you need to be doing. After all, you reap what you sow. I wish you the best with whatever you are going through.

I struggle with the same thing! Hop in the boat!

If others don't react very much, you are more likely to stop being "stuck."
