There's a voice inside that whispers the cruelest lie: *there's something fundamentally wrong with you* 💔. This isn't just low self-esteem—it's a deep conviction that you're damaged goods, defective at your very essence. Early on, other people `projected` their *pain and insecurities* onto you as proof that you're not good enough. They've taught you to see yourself as the problem to ease their own hurt.<br><br>Now, this `internalized shame` feels like a stain that goes all the way through—no amount of achievements, love, or reassurance can wash it clean ❌. You apologize for existing, minimize your needs, and feel genuinely surprised when people choose you 😲. It became so incorporated into your identity that imagining yourself as worthy feels impossible, like trying to picture a different color of your own eyes 👁️. Even your *success feels fraudulent*, like you're fooling people who don't yet see the real broken you underneath ❤️‍🩹<br><br>In relationships, you interpret normal conflicts as proof that you're too much, too broken, not worth the effort. You're convinced that once they really know you, they'll leave 😔. Love feels temporary, like you're always one mistake away from being abandoned. You're never sure if you will push people away before they can reject you 🤚, or cling desperately while making excuses for your very existence 🤗.
