thank you anita! thank you for everything you said and for taking me seriously. it’s just hard to stop comparison. especially when you even battle youself. do you ever find yourself going, “i was skinnier then, i have to be that skinny again. OR BETTER!” or “what was it that made people want to be friends with me then, i have to be that way again and feel the same way i did then to make friends again.” because it happens all the time for me. the comparison to other people, i think that could take as long as me learning to love myself.
