Let me know if I’m getting too deep for this (brand new) comm, but I’ve noticed lately that all of my sense of validation at this point in my life comes from other people. Is it possible to gain this feeling from my self or is that unrealistic?

    treat yourself like your best friend. if your best friend said "uhg im ugly i hate myself" you would say "shut up youre beautiful and i love you" so just do that to yourself out loud ideally.

      My therapist said to write positive things about myself on the mirror, but that doesn’t seem to be helping deeper-sadness

      Maybe your advice is a more active approach to that. Thank you comrade I will give it a try
