    You are so very important, to so many people
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I don't understand why. And I know that's because I'm probably struggling to get past my view of myself

    At least you’re recognising that your view of yourself might not be correct ...

    I keep telling J that everyone can't be wrong so I have to apply that to myself really don't I?

    But how would you feel if roles were reversed?

    You ARE important - to him, to us, to your friends, to so many people....

    Look, Paula agrees, we can't both be wrong...

    Absolutely. It's about time that you stopped, breathed and started to believe that you aren't all that you think of yourself and that actually there are people who love you, who want to be there for you and who wants to know everything about you and what's going on in your head - besides, if you don't tell him, imagine what he thinks might actually be wrong....... I promise you, you don't want that for him. I've been there and I know where your head goes...

    He's already smug that Paula agrees with him!!!!

    I was talking to Bob on Thursday and he said he thinks I'm lovely and he'd be happy to be friends with me away from lessons. He also said that I'm a very strong person inside, I offer so much support to others but when it comes to myself I tend to freeze and flap a bit. I don't think I can disagree with him really...

    I've promised J that I will try harder to tell him when I'm struggling
