Oh I know I have given my father a lot. He always tells me he loves me and that I am the most important person in his life. I have no question of his love for me, and he has no doubt of my love for him.
But I have this problem where I cannot like myself unless I know that others like me as well. Take my mother: I used to wonder how I could possibly be worthwhile if the person who gave me life didn't even love me. I mean, I know she loves me now--she and I finally had a talk--but for 20 some-odd years I didn't know that. I believed she hated me. I even told her once. She was cooking. I was probably in the 7th grade. She yelled at me for something, and I yelled back, "You know, Mom, sometimes I think you just really hate me!" All she did was stare back at me with that look of hatred I am so used to seeing.
Even my peers didn't like me much.
So you see, I never really had any reason to like myself with so many people disliking me.

ANSWER TO YOUR COMMENT TO ME
Hi,
Don’t say ‘sadly my own self-love depends on other’s love for me’.
All of us need another’s love to grow, for love is the sunshine from another’s mind. You had this from your father, and though you say he loved you unconditionally, I am sure your love for him helped him enormously, as my own children’s love for me did and still does for me. Don’t underestimate what you returned to him. If he was anything like me, then the best part of his life was you. It was in watching you, and better yet, helping you to grow and become you.
To love oneself is to see one’s flaws as goals to reach and to overcome, while also seeing oneself as a part of that one mind, the psi-continuum that is the universe.
A seed is the plant in embryo form. We are a seed that is all. Evolution is the growing of the seed to be godlike. In the fullness of our evolution I am sure that each of us has the potential of that one mind. Having that potential means that you, when you reach it, will begin another universe that will be you. You see God isn’t apart from the universe He is the Universe!
How many billions of years that will go past and what you will achieve in all that time is up to you. Our potential is as vast and unlimited as the mind that gave us life: and the chance to be.
Tom

Hold onto Your hat
You have quite aride ahead of You. Scarey but these things grow. But it is worth the trip. M

Freedom and Mara
Freedom, sorry the lottery is illegal in Hawaii.
Mara, well, there are times when I just know a friend far away is going through some struggle and I call them. But it's always been someone I'm VERY close to, not just a casual friend. Then there are those times when I know who's calling before I pick up the phone (and no, not because of caller ID 
). I have learned to follow my instincts. They usually do not steer me wrong.

There are a lot of theories.
You could be psychic or You could have become congested because You bought the meds. Only God really know, but watch Your instincts. If You suddenly start knowing what people are going to say before they say it, or You walk in a room and You just sense the undercurrent of emotions in the room, or You feel like You should warn someone about something out of the blue, or You start seeing auras...now any or all of those things could mean Your sixth sense is opening up. Are You going to charge for Your gift? Best M

You knew you had to get the pills, because secretly, we both know, that you are none other than Luke Skywalker. Or Darth Vader.
Could have just been a coincidence though. But I doubt it, the force is strong in you.
