[quote=Anonymous]Just as the title states. How can I want more for myself when it wasn't a reality most of my life but is now? I know where this stems from my childhood I never had what I needed mostly safety, serviceable clothes that fit me, food... I don't want to get into my whole background but I had a horrible childhood with physically and sexually abusive addicts so I never had much, never wanted much and as I age I realize I always just "make due," with what I have like a roof over my head, running water and lights but in reality I haven't upgraded anything. My apartment while it used to be nice is run down now, area isn't the same but I stay. I think I don't "deserve" more? How do I make myself want more for myself? And how do I get it since I'm not pushy? I guess I would like to hear from people who want and go after things they want. What drives you? How do you do it?

And please save the "get therapy" responses. I want real world first hand experiences or advice about this and I have already been in therapy and don't find it helpful. Thanks.[/quote]
