anyone else hate being told "i love you"?

I can just about cope with my parents (safe peoples who I live with) telling me occasionally that they love me, my brothers could probably get away with it if it was an emotional time. But anyone else? Heck no, I hate it! It makes me feel really awkward and put on the spot. My ex used to tell me he loved me (he was a bad man) and used to make me say it back. But my awkwardness and refusal to say I loved anyone stemmed from much earlier... I don’t feel many emotions and the ones I do feel are rarely strong enough to act on (schizoid personality disorder).
I hate being told someone loves me partly because it is expected for you to return the sentiments (and love is sadly not an affection I feel so it would be a lie or at least an empty gesture) and partly because it makes me cringe and feel really anxious.

For those that need it, this is a very relaxing video with instrumental music set to shots of baby animals in nature. Perfect for your inner child.

I just read your story. I just want to extend my sympathies and say that you are very strong. But I understand that the strength you showed enduring that was out of necessity. It never should have happened to you and I am proud of you for sharing it no matter how painful it is. It's ok to not be strong all the time.

It's not your fault your friends left you. Its not your fault your brother became addicted to drugs or that your dog passed away. I know you hung out with those two girls because you so badly wanted to be them, to walk in their shoes, to be a real girl. Your worth isn't based on what she thinks of you. Her deciding to be friends with the bullies or let her brother hit you with a stick was not okay. It doesnt matter if they were only playing, those things hurt and she didn't seem to care. But trust me, you are a real girl deep down, and there is an amazing group of women friends waiting for you down the road.

I feel like a lot of growing up is learning to take care of your inner child.

The "true love's kiss" was not consensual. I don't buy into the "princess belongs to her prince" myth. I'll save myself, thanks.

everything is going to be okay. don't think about all the roads you could have taken or roads that others are on. this road is my own.

I'm gonna make a tally here for every time I feel good, calm, accomplished, positive, or okay. For the last week, it has been five times. This is the fifth. I'm working at my pace, no one else's. I am enough. :]

I'm not so good at taking care of mine.
