I considered a simular answer, but realized I was given that same advice so often when I needed to hear it. I still ignored it.

Much to our detriment. The "heart"often circumvents all logic and reason. Especially to our younger selves.

Best we can do is try to instill a enough self worth that we become a little more stable. At least in my case I'd have been less willing to change who I am if I actually knew who I was.
