How to accept yourself when others don't accept you as you?

Mrs. Colleen, Your words did not offend me at all, How are you supposed to love yourself when no one loves you? Young and innocent, I am neither of these things, because I have hurt so many people who did not deserve it. And loving myself for who I want to be, I can't do that because I am not allowed to be myself, don't you have to be yourself to love yourself? I am very thankful for your kind words though, I am sorry for ranting btw, and am thankful for your listening to me. Your words did not fail you, they left more questions for me to answer on my own. You know I am very thankful to be here with these very kind and supportive people, you and the other people who created this site, help people like me and many others, for that I am very thankful. So thank you.
With love always,
Ginny Snow 🙂

@ginnysnow Let me be clear, I have not faced the struggles you are facing today. However, I have been at the precipice you mention, and that causes me to reach out. I highly recommend to seek out the services of a therapist who works with us in the LGBTQIA+ community. Even better would be one with WPATH credentials. I urge you to get on line and find one. You can do all of it via zoom (my therapist lives 200 miles from me). Many offer reduced rates or "scholarships" where money is an issue. Do you have a counselor at school you can trust? They may have access to health providers in your area. The bottom line, you need to be in a dialog with someone who understands. Trying to deal with this yourself is not a great option. Good luck, dear.
