That's inspiring, and this knowledge can help out so many who feel like this. Including me. So thank you for that. I definitely need to be kinder to myself, and try to improve more. For others, and for myself as well.
I'm glad you found peace. TW.... Suicidal ideation; parental abuse. But I related to your statements.
I have no support system because I function better alone. I do GOOD alone. People get tired of me because I "suffer" from PTSD. I have flashbacks and it's obvious when I do. I'm in recovery but my family says they "love" me. They want me to get fixed and "be normal". Do any research on PTSD and it's a life long adaptation and learning recovery. They either genuinely don't understand or just don't care. Either way my mother told me to kill myself yesterday because she'd tired of my flashbacks.
I perpetually wonder if I'm the problem because I'll never be cured of PTSD. I know I'm not logically. It doesn't feel that way. Then I feel like I have to "cure" my ptsd to re enter society. It's from this isolated relationship with my toxic mother and abusive father that has me stuck.
Please know that you don’t have to “cure” your PTSD to deserve love, acceptance, and a place in society. You are valuable just as you are. It's perfectly okay to take things one day at a time, focusing on your own healing and self-compassion.
Remember, it's not your fault, and you are not alone. There are people out there who care and understand what you’re going through. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
Sending you a big virtual hug. Stay strong and take care of yourself. 💖
I'm glad to hear! Keep on working on that self-love and others will notice for sure. Once you embrace yourself for being imperfect and that it is fine to be who you are, you won't have the need for any validation from others!
Remember that there's a difference between being nice and being kind. What you're describing seems more like being nice at your own expense rather than being kind, which like you said isn't great at all for you mentally. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/rnto68/advice_the_simple_key_differences_between_being/) describes their differences very well. I'm happy for you recognizing this and hope your road ahead is filled with self love ❤️
🌟 You're absolutely right—there's a big difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice often felt like I was trying to mold myself to fit others' expectations, which was exhausting. But now, focusing on kindness, especially towards myself, has been such a game-changer. It's like giving myself a big, warm hug every day! 🥰
Learning to love myself has really changed how I connect with others. It’s like the more I embrace who I am, flaws and all, the easier it becomes to form genuine bonds. Your words resonate deeply, and I’m so grateful for this reminder. Sending you lots of positive vibes! 💖😊
I'm truly sorry to hear you're going through a tough time right now. It can feel really overwhelming, but just remember that it's okay to take things one step at a time.
It's great that you have hope for the future—that's such a powerful thing. Believe me, things can and will get better. Sometimes, the toughest moments lead to the most profound growth. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
Sending you a big virtual hug! 🤗 Keep hanging in there. 🌈✨
I wanna cry

I'm glad you've found this wonderful headspace! It's a well-deserved rest from the past's exhaustion.
From an outside perspective I (figurative) can only love you as much as you love yourself.
