ye Ive tried to not let things in but I can't stop them from penetrating right to the centre of my soul. Ive actually seen a Cognitive behavioral therapist for ages and still I can't stop myself from getting hurt

it's like I feel worthless when I feel rejection which I know is a self esteem issue. The funny thing is I know Im pretty and smart and kind and a nice person but none of this seems to matter. It's like I know it in my head but I can't feel it? does that make sense? I know I should have more confidence but I can't feel it. I feel like Im bad company around people and thats probably the root of why it is I get so distressed
