“Its easy to feel unloved and unwanted when people arent able to communicate and connect with you in the way you expect. And its so hard not to internalize that disconnection as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is, the way other people behave and function is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own problems, responsibilities and struggles, that the thought of asking you how youre doing doesnt even cross their mind. They arent being mean or uncaring theyre just busy and a bit self-centered at times. And thats OK. Its not evidence of some fundamental flaw on your part. It doesnt make you unlovable or unworthy. It just means that some people arent very good at looking beyond their own egocentric bubble. But the fact that you are that despite the darkness you feel, you have the ability to share your love and light with others is an incredible strength.”
