This is so true of me as well, I 'soak in' the negative comments, anyone who treats me with less than respect, and then dismiss or don't believe those who see beauty and value in myself.

And I too focus too much on what toxic people say than on what emotionally whole and healthy people say....

I definitely need to work on this, and continue to work on more and more self care.

I'm 48, probably emotionally I'm much younger, but wouldn't it be great if at 50 all of a sudden all these insecurities just vanished into thin air????
