I agree. I feel unworthy (defective) a lot of the time and try to fight it. Sometimes I am successful and sometimes not. I never feel that I fit in and I’m especially sensitive to perceived rejection. My dad was abusive and both were neglectful and unable to show love or affection. It did a number on me that I’m still trying to work through.

I do positive affirmations morning and evening that are starting to help and I’ve made peace with my parents long ago. Hopefully one day I will feel worthy more often.
