> my biggest fear is that i'm somehow unacceptable and unworthy.
Yeah. The thing is, both "unacceptable" and "unworthy" are driven by the external response from others. Like you need other people to find you acceptable and worthy. I think a big thing I need to learn in therapy is to not rely on other people to provide my worth. To not care what they think. To just know within myself that I've done the right thing and to find myself acceptable.
Of course, I'm no where even remotely close to that.
And I wanted to add that I think you are perfectly acceptable and worthy. Even though I know a few of the things that you probably think make you unacceptable/unworthy. I don't think they make you less acceptable/worthy.
