So this is something i’ve tried as someone who always feels like no one can love or support me the way i do them. I always yearn for reciprocation that i can’t seem to get, and trust me i’ve learned that you can’t control peoples reactions. So what i’ve did before was let the voice in my head (inner voice lol) become what i want people to say to me. with the upmost love and support and niceness. all the things i’ve wanted people to say to me i let it say to me. i know it’s me just thinking those things but it helps some. i know it sounds sad but it helps me when i feel i can’t get those things said to me. and at the end of the day people always say you only have yourself so why not let yourself (ur inner voice lol) say the things you love to hear most to yourself.
