How I remember to feel proud of myself and give credit to myself enough so that I dont expect this from people around me? Can you help?

Your thoughts are creating your reality. For years you may have been thinking that you are not good enough, worthy enough, intelligent enough and on and on it goes. What happens is that you end up with low self esteem and a loss of confidence. No matter how much someone may love you or even appreciate you, it can feel like it's never enough or you may doubt that that person really means what they say.
The truth is you are enough. You need to start to change your thoughts. Here's an idea. Keep a journal and everyday write at least ten things you appreciate about yourself. Be consistent and you will soon find that you will attract to you more things that you like about yourself. As you do this you will find that you are not so dependent on someone else's opinion of you. Also do things you love to do. What are your creative pursuits? Having something creative to do or make also gives you a sense of your own purposefulness.
