Feeling Like A Phony Tonight

Hello Everyone:

I found myself feeling like a phony today. Once again the Brit BF was being very complementary and  I just felt like I did not deserve any of it.  I simply responded with a "you're much too kind."  Simple, yet modest response. Better than what I wanted to, "you're full of s__t. If you only knew the real me you wouldn't be so in love with me."  I don't perceive myself as this lovely, smart, wonderful human being who is deserving of anything good in this world.  All I deserve is just whatever I can scrape together. Why should I dream or have any ambition?  I told all this to mom and she said it was just an excuse not to try. She could be right but experience has told me otherwise.  I sometimes think people can see the real me, not the pretty smart version but the hideous stupid version. The version that been kicked so many times that I just have no more fight left.  Now I just want to do whatever I can to just get by. Nothing matters. I don't how the Brit BF can think I'm worth anything. Why does he even bother at all. I'm not a nice person.  If anything, just this sad apathetic person, completely unlovable.  It's still so hard for me to believe that I can love and be loved. I just don't know how to do any of that.   I just feel like whatever ability I possess to love and be loved left me a very long time ago.  I thought I was in love once or twice but no. I thought I could have a happy life-the family and job-no on that one too.  Now I just find little things to hang on to that give me some measure of joy. This feeling of inauthenticity is eating at me. I wish the Brit BF could see what a loser I am.  Maybe I am showing him my true self and everything I just said is a load of crap.  Now I feel confused.
