I think part of my reaction (you had made this post before I got to the original question post)to how I would react to you asking this question is that I would have some trepidation. There are multiple people in this world, including some of my children, who I resist giving advice to about most things. Sometimes I feel as if it sets me up for a fight in which I am forced to defend my thoughts and point of view while the other person is on the offensive.
In the past, you were one of those people, if not to me, then to others. I enjoy being around you, I enjoy interactions with you, and if you were to ask me personally or let me know that I was on a filter with people you felt were capable of giving you advice, I would be happy to comment. However, general posts in your journal create situations where you might feel attacked by me or others in your journal and that makes me feel uncomfortable.
Now, when I feel like I am "less than" and "not worth it" I go online and find a poem or prayer that reaffirms my self-worth. Then I print it out and read it every day before I leave my house for the day. After a while, it really becomes internalized. It helps. :) (hugs)
