Okay, so I know a thing or two about self-sabotage. Not so much on the romantic side of it, but the general life side of it. And what do you know boys and girls, it really is infuriatingly annoying - both to have a brain like this and to read about it. But my god did this book make me laugh so much. Like a partner making you angry but having to stop yourself from smiling when they do something funny.
I already know what half of the low ratings would probably say, but you know what! It's fine. It's fine. I read me on a page and I see people hate them. Cool cool cool. My self-esteem is as it is (nvm that's it on the ground btw).
But in all earnestness, this just solidified my belief that self-awareness alone would only hurt you, and even do far worse damage when you don't have any awareness at all. It takes work to be better mentally. It takes so much painful work. But it's worth it to keep the people you love around, and that's including your own self. :)
P.S. Bless friendships that hold you accountable btw!
