Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

I can see your point about the need to remember positive aspects of ourselves. I do have somewhat okay opinion about myself, it's not always negative, it's just that I'm not the type of a person who'd go around and be like: look at me, look how good person I am, how wonderful I am and things like that. I've been told some nice things from my friends in real life but I figured that's something we all tell to someone at some point in our lives so it's not anything new. I tell people daily I love them, I tell them I care for them and how beautiful they are to me as well. The only time I truly felt like appreciated though is when a few months ago a friend in real life told me how she thinks I'm unique, a weirdo in the most positive sense of the word. And while I've been told that I'm a weirdo before, I've never been told such thing in a positive way. I appreciated her saying that because I never felt like I go well with surrounding in real life and she noticed that and said I'm meant to be for something different. The point here I guess is that she said something I knew about myself for a really long time while we only knew each other not longer than a year.
