need advice on loving myself
I understand what Ali is saying. I was brought up the same way. It's so hard to love yourself when, for your whole life, nobody has pointed out the good in you, only the bad. I had a very hard time with session 3 also. But I just came to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to love myself unconditionally overnight, it will take sometime to realize how much stronger I make myself out to be. And Ali...that's what you should realize too. It's not going to happen over night, and it is hard to see the good in yourself when all you hear about is the bad. But don't give up on yourself. You deserve to be happy in this life.
