I May Act Like I Am Not Sad When I Really Am Sad

Your 2 life tools, if established, then you been at-hone-in-you, will help, those times when people hurt you.
Established your self-worth, your self-love. You are the one to validate you, it is your job in life. No one can give you, your self security.

In long-term relationships, your insecurities will surface, your love mate will push your buttons, not intentionally, yet they will. Till you heal your old life wounds, you will get triggered by current events, they remind you, you feel hurt. You can use this time to heal or compound your hurt with more baggage. You will deplete your life force, the more you mull over, mull over and keep the pain going. (Poor me )

You are your happy place in life, you are your key to unlock your own inner love. (Or suffer, waiting for. .....the person to change this"you")

How do you pull that off? No one suspects even those closest to you?
