Castress, I'm happy and sad you can relate to that, haha. Happy I'm not alone, and sad because I know how tough it is. Anxiety doesn't make anything easier, either-- I know what a good job it can do of planting doubts and making you miserable. I feel so bad for my partners sometimes for having to constantly reassure me, and then it's still never enough. Ultimately I think you're right-- there's only so much anyone else can do to make you feel better. It really has to come from within.
I don't know about you, but I entered my relationship when I was already in an insecure and depressed state, and that hasn't done me any favors. It'd sure be nice if our brains just heard our partners reassure us and then the issue could be done and over with!
