I don't feel that it always has to be an event. It can come from anywhere at anytime.
Often, it starts as simply a thought in one's head, that maybe they aren't this or that.
Mach, I had no idea it could work that way. I get that now...because of a thought or a comment...it's like I look for proof of why my thought is correct. And I'm feeding it.
I seriously thought I was crazy, or had some memory loss or must have blocked out some kind of trauma....because I had no "legitimate" reason to feel this way.
I got some stuff to do...

Often times, the behavioral pattern creates a trigger in our brain, where we get accustomed to thinking a certain way, because we do it every day, or week, whatever....
If every time you drive past a Petsmart, you adopt a Cat...

Hello 438 !!!
So while I do NOT endorse another person's thoughts controlling our own thoughts and actions, there are cases in which we allow another person to set certain triggers within our own brain...
Your trigger for feeling unworthy may be something that has been a thought inside of yourself for years...
YOU have to find that trigger...
Journal when you feel this way, what you are doing, where you are at, etc....
