Why We Abandon Ourselves and How to Stop

a post by Sharon Martin for the blog Happily Imperfect brought to us via the World of Psychology blog

Why We Abandon Ourselves and How to Stop. Transform self-abandonment to self-love, trust, and self-worth.

Do you have a hard time trusting yourself? Do you hide parts of yourself – your feelings, beliefs, and ideas – in order to fit in or please others? Do you diminish or discount your feelings because you think they don’t really matter?

This is self-abandonment.

We abandon ourselves when we don’t value ourselves, when we don’t act in our own best interest, and when we don’t encourage and comfort ourselves.

Notice how many of these examples of self-abandonment ring true for you.
