Nerve Dating Confessions
January 16, 1:39PM I just realized: self-confidence and self-love are two totally different things. I have absolute confidence that I can successfully complete every task I willingly undertake. But I'm just now learning how to stop punishing myself for some inherent but vague "badness" I always believed was inside me. Self-love is a concept I still have yet to explore.

I too tend to punish myself for no reason or I have a sense of constantly being in trouble or people being mad at me. Its heavy and I hate it. Working on it this year. Good luck to you.

been working on this the past four years when i ended an emotionally abusive relationship that i thought i deserved cos of this "badness"... so worth it. so much more at ease in my skin. starting a new relationship (i hope it has legs!) in the healthiest place i have been. keep up the work, it's worth it.
