You're not a loser. I'm sorry you have experienced such difficulty. My only guess is that our families have made us feel like nothing, and since we feel like this about ourselves, others tend to agree?
The way I try to think of it is this: all children are good, right? All children are pure and innocent and deserve love. Well, I guess I need to get back in touch with my inner child. That probably sounds new-wavey, but I think if I could get back in touch with that part of me I could heal. As adults we are saddled with so much guilt, so many walls, so much distrust based on bad past experiences. I want to learn to approach things with a fresh perspective and without fear of rejection. Maybe you can try this too?
I'm thinking of trying some alternative therapies, such as yoga and meditation to try to heal.
Good luck! And you're not a loser :)
