Though I also feel them on the dad forcing you to do manly stuff. My dad was always like “why don’t you have a girlfriend yet” constantly since I was 9 or “you should play sports not play on the computer” n shit like that. He doesn’t do any of that now that my computer stuff has me making more money than him though haha fuck you dad
Sorry about that.
Self love comes from within too. Everybody’s road to self acceptance is different. I started mine about three years ago when I took way too many shrooms and had a mind blowing experience where I realized I hated my body, but didn’t really understand why, so I spent an unknown amount of time coming up with things I appreciate about my body, like my muscle memory when typing or other small things. It sent me on a long journey that led me to discover why I have had such a strong disconnect with myself.
I don’t necessarily suggest you do that yourself, as you can really Fuck up your psyche, and you don’t really get to choose what lesson you’ll learn or what kind of experience you’ll have.
Ideally an individual would be able to experience that guided by a mental health professional for safety and to keep you focused on something productive.
I hope you can find some things to appreciate about yourself, because the things you focus on are the things that will drive you or drag you, and we can be our own hardest critic.
I did haha whoops
