And now I'm trying to make the thread about me. Nevermind, I'm fine. I'll be fine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The thread is about all of us. Talking about yourself is never out of place.

Can you explain to me how you are selfish? I think if you try to express it, you'll immediately see how ridiculous it is.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Gudanov, a drowning person is not selfish. When you reach out here for validation, that is is your soul grasping for a life preserver. You are hurting, you are depressed. You are fighting anxiety. And not everyone in your life is kind and supportive of you. The part of you that says you deserve to be treated unkindly is sadly mistaken. You deserve kindness. You deserve compassion. You deserve respect. That there are people in your life who do not meet that obligation, the fault is in them. THE PROBLEM IS NOT INSIDE YOU. You may not be ready to believe it, but you are worthy of love, and you are worthy of kindness, and you are worthy of understanding.

Our wings are not tired.

We worry about you Gud. You are not being treated with the love and respect that is supposed to exist between spouses. It isn't right or fair. I've worked with my husband for nearly 30 years and I know well that if I screwed up and forgot to install something he would react by apologizing for putting too much on my plate. I know because this is how he treats me. If he forgets something my first reaction is that he has too much going on and that I should have calendared it for him. Partners. Helping each other. Supporting each other. Never blaming or abusing each other. We all make mistakes and deserve understanding and support.

Unrelated, clearly, and not disrepecting, but....

The caramels usually melt and make them look like volcanoes or sink into the cookie. But my kitchen was cold, hence the caramels were, so they didn't melt.

Just know Gud, you have people here who love and appreciate you for the generous, considerate person you are.

Thrive to spite them

Gud I don't know if this applies to you but I felt lile there are similarities

I've always been extremely hard on myself, there has been a voice in my head telling me I'm greedy and selfish nd a gorhorrible rible person who is a burden on others and that I use people. And feeling like I am one step away from being a dumpster fire of a human.

People tell me I am not and it has been hard to hear. Year or so ago in therapy O finally told my therapist I wished people would be "honest" with me. By honest I meant agree with that. I didnt and dont want to be those things but it is exhausting fighting against that voice and I don't know what i thought but maybe if everyone agreed with it then life would be easier.

I don't know of it's hard for you to hear supportive comments because they dont see true.

The voice in my head is quieter in soe ways becuase of a lot of therapy but it os right there waiting. I had a meltdown the other day and ended up yelling at myself and saying all those things so it's not gone

The part of me, whatever part it is, constantly went on about what a terrible, horrible person I am. How I am fundamentally a bad person who is kust scamming people. It's hard to be bombarded by that message and not believe. But it isn't true .
