Without rambling too much over my own dark mood and frustrations, I'd like to learn, based upon the perspective of other members, how to embrace being or feeling alone without the constant need for deep, meaningful connections and intimate relationships with others to offer me security and reassurance in life. How do you prevent yourself from continually relapsing toward that ceaseless cycle and falling into recurring bouts of depression due to feelings of isolation and instead, learn to accept yourself and life for what it is and quit comparing yourself toward the rest? How do you start feeling... worthy, and lovable again, and abandon all past guilt or mistakes that have made you feel disgusted toward the person you are, and among all, stop relying upon the compliments, advice, and flattery of others to develop your own sense of confidence and empowerment? Somehow, I feel that past events in my life have led to my gradually losing my self-esteem and the will to love and nurture myself for all that I am, and I don't truly know how to regain this sense of confidence or emotional balance again.
