I've tried, and I've tried

They say you can't make someone love you. You can't make them want you or appreciate you either. There's a part of my brain that knows this, even believes it, but, as usual, there's another part of my brain that sees things very differently

Poignantly written, if far too sad!!!! *sniffle*

You are indeed all of those things: smart, talented, giving, caring, and supportive--and a whole lot more.

I wonder if sometimes people find the kind of love and acceptance they need (for all of us need it in some way) in places they wouldn't expect to find it. *musing*

Thank you for sharing such a raw piece of yourself with we LJ Idollers.

Hugs my friend. You know I appreciate you even though we've never met in person. You are all the good qualities you list and more!

[faerie_spark]

It's sad you two have never met in person. Having met both of you...well, I think you'd hav a great time hanging out together. *smile*

[baxaphobia]

Yes one day meeting will happen! It has to!

Very well said.

*hugs* At the end of the day, we all want to feel loved, no matter how self-confident (or not) we feel about ourselves.

You're definitely not alone in feeling like that - glad you're able to write it out, and I hope you'll soon be able to "feel" what you know you "know"!
