Again, that's awful. I was told that in jokes by my family. They probably didn't mean to give me a low self-esteem, but I am quite negative and take everything to heart. You don't know how much I wish you could see yourself and see how pretty you are, because you're quite jaw-dropping, and a total sweetheart to boot when you don't have these low moments - but that's part of you, I guess. You have to take the good and the bad.
@ cat; Low self-esteem's been a problem with me almost forever. I don't exactly see a reason to hold myself in a high enough standard to respect myself when I see no reason to. People kept saying things to me long enough and often enough, like for example, "You're so fucking stupid, Elise," or "Jesus Christ you're ugly why would anyone even look at you," so I ended up believing them.
You're not stupid -far from it! -, but I do understand the low self-esteem. It's awful, and I wish I saw myself in a nicer light, but I just don't feel like I'm worthy of it. I'm guessing that this is how you feel right now, and you're reading my comments thinking lies. I just want to give you a huge hug right now and tell you, in person, you are worth it, and you are loved.
Oh doll you're fiiiine.
