So it takes a special kind of person to be able to make me feel the way he dose. It scares me. More than that, it terrifies me. They tell me I push away anyone who tries to get close to me and yet for the first time in two years I finally feel that just maybe that won’t be the case… But then again, it has only been a couple of weeks. The last thing in the world I want to do is hurt him in any way. I find myself more concerned about his feelings than my own and I don’t want to do anything in the world that could upset him. I sometimes think maybe I should just leave him alone in order to avoid anything bad happening in the future, but I don’t think I could do that. I don’t want to stop feeling the way he makes me feel. But then what will happen when he realizes I am not as fantastic as he thinks. When he starts to see all the things wrong with me that I see every single day? I think he is so fucking amazing and he deserves far far better than me. I don’t think anyone in my life has ever been as good to me as he has and it’s not fair. I can never give him that, I could never be that good to him. Although he makes me happy I just know I’m not good enough and that makes me sad because I know he will realise this soon

I’ve been following you for awhile now. And you seem so unsure with yourself. With this new man in your life, he obviously chose YOU for a reason and you are together because not only you, but he wants to be. Keep that in mind when you are having these feelings of self-doubt. You deserve only what you believe you deserve. If you aren’t confident in yourself and the amazing person I am sure you are, others will notice that. Don’t push away a person who may be good for your self-confidence.
Perhaps you are as fantastic as he thinks. People love others for their imperfections; not their perfections. If that were not the case everybody would be single.
I have been in your position, thinking I was worthless, that nobody in their right mind could love me. That attitude has cost me relationships. I also attempted suicide. With medication I am able to live a somewhat ‘normal’ life. Now I try do devote much of my attention to helping homeless people. If I’m thinking about them I can’t be thinking negatively about myself. Meditation also helps to break the cycle of self abuse.
Cheers,
