obligatory i hate myself part 2

i'm so tired of being told how bitter, cynical and defensive i am.
i'm also tired of people cracking jokes on me and telling me that i should be more like so and so because they aren't crazy or do this because it's normal.
if you grew up in a violent home situation where nobody EVER told you that you were okay the way you are, you'd be a fucking

Accepting total responsibility for everything you don't like about your self and your life is the only way to get better.

*This is in regards to how negatively you view yourself, and the fact that you're the only one reinforcing these views. Everyone likes and respects you, so you constantly talk shit on yourself TO REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOU SUCK, because nobody else is doing it (cuz you don't).

No matter what you believe, selective perception will find examples that prove it right in your daily life.

Don't read this and say "I know, I'm no good at life, I'm so negative because I do suck", read it and say "You're right, I need to change my perspective to align with the actual facts of my life."

Figure it out: Your boyfriend wouldn't be dating you if he didn't think you were wonderful and nobody would come "crawling back to you" if they didn't think you were better than the people who fucked them over.

I am NOT saying "Don't worry Jenna, you're great, cheer up", I'm saying "Wake up and start looking yourself in the eye because if you're not fair to yourself, nobody else will be".
