I only have myself to comfort me. I have to hug myself to feel anything. I have to stroke my own hair when others, and life, have made me feel like complete, utterly worthless garbage. I've only ever had myself; nobody has ever been there for me, not once, my entire life. Nobody ever stood up for me, when my bullies were making my life hell; nobody ever bothered to find out what was making me so miserable, or to offer genuine help; nobody has ever cared about me, except me.
And yet, I've been gaslighted so many times in my life, told how I should stop being so "self-hating." Wot?! "Self-hating"?! I don't hate myself! I have no problem with the way I am! It's the rest of the world that always seems to have a problem with me! I'm the only person that has ever not hated me!
I'm the only one I ever had; I remember I used to turn inward when life became unbearable, because there was nowhere else to turn; no one else to turn to.
I've asked myself so many times throughout my life, "what did I do to deserve this fate?" And then I would cradle myself in a corner of my room, and cry. I still do, sometimes, even to this day. I embraced myself, because else ever had. Nobody wanted to touch the weird, ugly, autistic kid.
