Discussion Question: Do you consider yourself worthy of love and admiration?

I never questioned my worth as a child but have had periods in my life that the deep sharp edge of saddness and grief have made me think life itself is not worth another breathe. In my heart of hearts I know that God values each human being equally and that I am not better nor worse than anyone else. Do I feel loved and valued by people? No. Then there is the issue of self esteem. I have stopped blaming others for the way my life is. Now I am processing the horror that much of my circumstances may be from my own ignorance and stupidity. I am one of those people that secretly want to run back to my childhood because at least I had a stable home and nice bed to sleep in.

No. I'm not worthy of love and I don't know why my boyfriend loves me

I so badly want to believe I am, but by judgement alone I feel as though I am not. I don't want people to waste their time with me.

Love yes, admiration ... maybe. I am a shade of gray, so some of my qualities are worth admiring, others not so much. Btw, I feel pampered by my spiritual connect with the Creator. I know He loves me and hence I do not crave for particular attention from anybody in general.

No

I wish I could say that I did feel that way. I actually struggle with the concept of "worthiness." Who or what determines if a person is worthy of something?

Sometimes I do believe I am, just like anyone else. But no one seems to really love me, people get close then sick of me. The person I was with for a while did not love me, and I can't understand why. What if no one will love me for the rest of my life?

Nope.

Nope

Absolutely not, I feel bad whenever anybody cares about or is nice to me. I feel annoying and inconvenient and I want to apologize constantly for interrupting their lives.
