Great piece.

Part of what receiving nurture teaches is that the child is WORTHY of nurture, time, attention.  "You are fun and appealing.  You have a lot to offer. "   

If there's one thing I can put my finger on that IS the same, no matter how one is raised, but FEELS very different if you have been neglected or abused:  being worthy.  We are all equally worthy...  My CPTSD friends are just as funny, charming, interesting, valuable and my non-CPTSD friends.  But:  they do not "know" this.  Part of the misfire is feeling weird (and maybe a little suspicious) of being genuinely liked/loved...  it's too easy to doubt the truth of someone liking or accepting them.
