“It’s very hard to love yourself when you’re constantly being put down”
Oh, I agree. 100%. But the trick is to know that you must not judge yourself negatively. Most who put you down, don’t realize that just because you become sadder than them, doesn’t mean that they are happier than they were before. If someone says you don’t belong, perhaps they feel uncomfortable around you. That doesn’t mean you don’t belong, it means they don’t belong. It means they’re not happy with who they are. Bullies are everywhere. If you’re judging yourself off of other opinions, when will you judge yourself from your own opinion. Many try to take you down because you clearly have a bright neshama, but they cannot take that from you, no matter how hard they try. We say Elokai neshama shenosata bi… Hashem put that neshama in us, viatah mishamrah bikirbi… Hashem guards it inside us. Only you can connect with your neshama inside you. See that neshama for the love that it is, as it is life itself, a chelek elokah… a part of hashem that is your strength within you. Find your inner strength, you can do it.
