Dear Katrine,

I have a lot of inner child wounds to attend to and heal and not be such a hypocrite. It just harder to tell when it’s myself because i know my intentions but other people don’t.

I think you’re being too hard on yourself. Perhaps you did behave like that with him a month ago, but in the meanwhile you’ve made a move, you confessed how you feel, you came clean. You took the risk and made yourself vulnerable – something he hasn’t done yet. He never said “I like you too, but I’m afraid”, has he?

He is showing interest on one hand, but rejecting you on the other. Which is not the case with you any more. So please give yourself some credit for the progress you’ve made in recent time! You are NOT being a hypocrite, because you have done something which he hasn’t done – being vulnerable and expressing yourself in spite of fear of rejection.

You might still have a lot of work related to your wound of rejection, but please give yourself credit for the steps you’ve already taken. Don’t minimize your own achievements! Be proud of yourself! That’s the path to embracing your own worth.
