It is so great that you’ve made progress and have learned so much and are applying it. But please be gentle with your past self. They got you here and they did what they could with what they knew. They do not lack worth in any way and they are deserving of your compassion.
Despite whatever you think is not lovable in you, someone will love you, and your imperfections even more.
“People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear.”
— John Patrick

That’s what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you’re not so lovable.
