SnoopDawg That is very honest. That's a good start.
You won't believe me, but you do matter.
The dangerous part about feeling that way is you attract emotional predators. Selfish people who know you'll put up with almost anything for a smile and a hug.
It has to start with you deciding to believe you deserve the right kind of affection. It doesn't come as easily as the wrong kind but it's real and lasts much longer.
