Do you get enough affirmation or affection?

I suppose the need for this varies depending on one’s sense of self-worth. I never feel very certain of how I fit in any group. If someone says something nice, it lasts about one day before the doubts come back. It’s not as if I can ask for it, either, because then it’s suspect. People say nice things out of politeness. That doesn’t count. It only means something to me if it’s unsolicited and out of the blue.

Now, of course, no one could say anything to me here, because it fits into the asking for it clause. I’d hate to seem so needy, even though I am. Yuck!

Anyway, what about you? Do you ever think about what others think about you? Do you care what anyone thinks? If not, how? Do you get enough positive feedback?
