This group is an epiphany on just how much I don’t love myself. ❤️

I’ve always been a “Pick Me” because I have no self-esteem.

Men loved it because I was “beautiful” but “so cool” (e.g., overly compliant) and I felt good (!) about that. I was consistently grateful for crumbs. I stayed up nights anxiously waiting for a text. I offered to pay half always. I put his needs before mine. I put LVM on pedestals, explaining away terrible behavior.

And I had so much anxiety over losing LVMs. Craziness!

I have so many terrible behaviors because I didn’t think the kind of man I wanted could love me. But that is BS. I just didn’t weed out the losers soon enough.

And now, because of you, I am starting to realize that I am a frigging QUEEN.

So thank you from a soon-to-be completely 50 YO reformed Pick Me.
