All my life I had believed that unless I was perfect I would not be loved.
Being overly sensitive to rejection can become a destructive virus.
I just want everyone to like me. That's my main flaw.
I have always admired people who are comfortable not being liked because I am the opposite of that. To the point when I was little, it was crippling.
I can't bear not to be liked, and I've always been a people pleaser.
I really can't stand not to be loved. I really can't. If I walk into a room and feel there are people who don't really like me, I have to leave.
If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out.
I couldn't knock on people's door; if they answered the door and said, 'I don't want to speak to you,' I'd be like, 'Oh, OK then - I wouldn't either, to be honest.'

I've become one of those actors who find it difficult to say 'no' when things are offered.
Because she is afraid of not being supported, she unknowingly pushes away the support she needs.
