I’m not the girl that guys look at and think, “wow, she’s beautiful.”

I’m not the girl that guys want to talk to, let alone date.

I’m not the girl that guys can imagine spending the rest of their lives with.

I’m not the girl that guys want to brag to all their friends and family about.

I’m not that girl, but oh how I wish I could be

Does anyone else just not feel.. real? Like I can’t imagine people thinking about me or talking about me. I look in the mirror and I don’t recognize myself. I don’t even know who the fuck I am.

Maybe I’m only good for sex. Maybe I need to realize that I’m just not good enough for anything else

wishing-for-deathx:

I always made love to him, but he never made love to me. I let him use me because some of him was better than none of him. I let this happen.

Can’t go around complaining like I’m the victim.

Here is a short list of some childhood emotional experiences that can impact adult wellbeing:

1. Having your emotions dismissed, minimized, or invalidated.

2. Having your emotions ignored / being left alone when you were upset or angry.

3. Being told you were “too sensitive”.

4. Being punished or scolded for expressing emotions.

5. Being made to feel responsible for a parent’s emotions.

6. Having a caregiver take on your emotions in a way that left you without someone “stronger”.

7. Having to walk on eggshells to avoid a parent’s or sibling’s emotional reactions.

8. Growing up in a family that didn’t talk about or express emotions.
