Hey y’all, question. Has anyone learned good ways to be better at accepting when people (friends, family) offer you love/affection/care/closeness/nice thoughtfulness/thoughtful stuff/etc. and not be like super emotionally uncomfortable with the idea of people giving to you? I’m terrible at this, related to self-esteem, intimacy probably (?). Thanks and hope you all are finding peace.

I can be at times. I try to let go of what I want and realize it’s just important to them and giving love or a good feeling is good for me to get used too.
