Happiness After Childhood Dysfunction

Why doesn't anybody love me? What is wrong with me? Why do I want to be accepted? I have this overwhelming feeling of wanting to be loved and accepted. I want my family to love me, yet I don't feel it. Why do I get attached to people so fast? Why do I want and need the attention of boys or men? Why do I feel so empty inside yet I long for love, belonging, and happiness? Is there more to this life? Will it be like this forever? As a child, I always had these sorts of thoughts, for as long as I can remember. Why have things always been dysfunctional? Is everyone's family this way? Our childhood can mold us to who we are, but we can accept it and make peace. Only then can we let go and move on.
