I am finding myself obsessed with obtaining reassurance from other people that I am worth it, and that I am worth more alive than dead.  I can’t seem to function on my own. I always look to another person for my own confidence… usually a friend, or someone I newly met. Of course the ironic thing is that I can’t gain confidence from other people, and I know that already. Also terrible, is that I usually latch onto someone else when I am at my weakest. What generally happens is that they panic and back away because I latch on too tightly. I don’t know what to do about this. I also almost always know when I am doing this with someone. I know I am doing it again with someone at work. I am afraid to fudge up my work relationship because of my own insecurities and lack of confidence. Ideas? Thanks.

People will always care wheather or not others value them, but in the end what matters most is that you value yourself. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re worth more being alive then dead. If you have confidence issues it may help to try and be more independant. Maybe you could try doing things on your own and forcing yourself to trust the decisions you make. Being a social creature is about finding the balance between leaning on others when you’re weak, and having the strength to stand alone. You have it, so acknowledge it.
