Came up w/ this as a possible PSNeg statement, “It is my belief that love will always leave me.” or “It is my belief that I will always be abandoned.” What do you think?
I'm having serious trouble coming up w/ counters because my experience has been that this belief is true! As I asked above, how do I come up w/ counters, unless I can use other ppl as examples such as, “People do stay in r'ships for life” or something.
The only one I can think of that fits my own life is “Mom is still here”.
Can I use things like, “If I didn't push, people would stay” ??
Or, “Love is all around and everywhere”, or “People are loving”.
I'm sort of stumped here. Thanks for the assistance, Peter (Tim, or whomever).
