I do too. Deep down, I feel unworthy of being loved, and every criticism I get for how I live and the decisions I make are seen as a reflection of my character.

Case in point: I started a new, far better job this past Monday. I tell my uncle about it and he immediately becomes negative about it. As if unless I am slaving away and working far harder than I get paid for, it's not good enough. It makes ME feel not good enough.

I invite a couple of my former coworkers to go see the art galleries next weekend. One has to work, which isn't anyone's fault, yet I still think that I somehow make it so she doesn't want to be around me.
