My name is Sarah. I am almost 25.



i have built my life around malign other people happy. I had a very narcissistic volatile father and a very sweet codependent mother.



i tried to take care of everyone else even though I was the youngest member of my family.


i have no self confidence and I struggle with self hatred. But I'm glad I found this group! You guys don't know how at ease I feel among people with my same struggles.

I use to think that my happiness was from making others happy but as I got older and more depressed, I began to realize that it doesn't work out that way. It wasn't until I learned to let go of all the resentment and the self hatred through prayer and meditation, that I began to feel a peace and a love I never thought thought possible!

God Bless

Hi Sarah,

I am glad that I am not alone in this too. I am struggling with my relationship with her. I am always seeking for her approval and praises that hardly come. I am always doing things just to please her.
She would manipulate me into doing what she wants and when I resist, she would play the victim.

We have to learn to let go of our needs to seek for their approvals.

:) I hope that you will gain the confidence you need and be a happy person. Do reach out if you need someone to listen to you.

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
