Seven years doesn't sound like a long time to me. I've been doing it my whole life and I even have children, so you'd think I would have gotten over it.
For me, work is what I do well, and I usually receive plenty of positive feedback for it, so it's natural I would feel that way. I get the feedback as a mother, but it's not the same--it's about them and not me.
So don't be so hard on yourself. Once we find that we are loveworthy in other areas, it diminishes. This means give yourself more credit for the other things in life that you do well. Like writing, for example. You are a wonderful writer, I can see that. And a wonderful person, too.
