  • Abandonment issues and fears have held me back for far too long. It's time to tackle it and heal some past wounds. In this video I explore how to overcome abandonment issues and fears by going through a book I discovered recently, Love Me Don't Leave Me.
    If you would like to purchase the book for yourself on Amazon, you can find it here:
    Love Me, Don't Leave Me

      At that age I think it's pretty easy for kids to quickly pick up a new language...but it was more so the combination of so many huge changes and such instability that made things difficult for me.

    Thank you so much for this video, and your channel. I was thinknig a lot lately about how the LGBT community has these abandonment issues. It seems to be a major thing for us even if we grew up in a healthy home. I will be sure to buy this book as it sounds like something that could help me overcome some fears. I'm happy that you were able to self-reflect about how you were dealing with these issues and also have accountability with certain things as many people like to forget about their issues which only makes things worse.
    If you have not read it, may I recommend the book The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs. It is another great book that explains how gay men have immense amounts of shame we have not dealt with after growing up gay. It's a great read.

    I struggle a lot. with a sense of worth myself...and then I read Psalm 139 "How precious are your thoughts to me, O Lord, how vast is the sum of them. If I would count them, they are more than all the grains of sand..." That meant a lot to me...hope it was okay to share that.

    Awesome Raif ! I avoid all situations that would cause me to become enraged. Anxiety and depression are a bit tricky sometimes ! I tend to listen to sad songs when depressed, I know that sounds counter productive ! Its a bit tough to get me out of that mental state. I tend to either text friends or take a nap, which usually cures those feelings. I have learned to just let my feelings run their course !
    I would love for you to delve deeper into the abandonment, emotional deprivation & failure core beliefs as I resonate sooooo closely with those three !
    You look sooooo😏😏😏 in that tank btw. Nice to see you smile also ☺☺.

    • @RaifDerrazi
      @RaifDerrazi  6 лет назад +1

      Haha, thanks for the compliment mate.
      Also, I can relate to listening to sad songs etc when I'm depressed. I used to do that constantly but I've worked on NOT doing that. Yea, there's a time to just be in your feelings and allow them to wash over you so you can process them...but then it's good to move on and not constantly put yourself in a situation where you're going to keep dwelling. That's the worst! And I'm guilty of having done that SO much in the past.
      I will absolutely delve into those core beliefs more as I work through the book! Stay tuned ;)

    you are a great inspiration Raif. You are such an amazing and strong guy. Plz keep up the good work. can you plz tell how long did it approximately take you to develop AIDS after HIV contraction? and once you were diagnosed with AIDS , was it possible to recover and did the treatment work effectively ? I mean is it still possible to suppress HIV once it is developed into AIDS? I do really pray and hope the advancement in medicine can soon find a definite cure for HIV.

    • @RaifDerrazi
      @RaifDerrazi  6 лет назад

      I'm not sure how long it took to develop into AIDS because I don't know exactly when I contracted HIV but I'm assuming it was about 3 years. The treatment worked effectively and my immune system greatly recovered after about 9 months to a year. It is absolutely possible to suppress HIV once it is developed into AIDS...that's what I have done.

    You are not alone! I’m most of the time alone and a person that I had just met went ghost without telling me if he is still interested about me. Probably because he just got divorced and doesn’t want to start a relationship or at least be boyfriends for a period of time 🤷🏻‍♂️😅 he wanted only sex at the end for what I know. I’m sure you will find that person that loves you greetings 👋

      Raif!! I love your openness. And your ability to communicate so honestly about your life. You also mentioned how in the LGBTQ community some people throw shade and or are bitchy. Its one reason I personally don’t have many gay friends. The judgements of some like, how one dresses or how one maybe gained some weight or maybe going bald or whatever. The shallowness of anyone gay or straight I can’t deal with. Im not rich but im not ugly. Lol. We all have value as a human and I just wish there was less judgmental gay in gay. Its so fresh to know you are so not like that. You have that West Hollywood gym body thats hot , but love your humble loving self. 🤗 hugs my man!!!! 😘

    • @RaifDerrazi
      @RaifDerrazi  6 лет назад

      Thanks mate, and thanks for sharing. Yea that's rough...but we have to start being more selective about who we give our heart to in the first place and that will help weed out a lot of the potential hurt down the line.

    • @RaifDerrazi
      @RaifDerrazi  6 лет назад

      Thank yoooouuu! Yea, I firmly believe that you can love on your body and look good and also be a genuine, down-to-earth, caring person. They don't have to be mutually exclusive...people seem to forget that. I don't have a lot of gay friends as well...but then again, I don't have a lot of straight friends either. I'm just very selective about the people I allow in my life; they have to be people that help to raise each other up and not the opposite. 🙏

    Why are members of our own LGBT community so hateful and judgmental of each other? That has driven me crazy since I first came out 25 years ago. I don’t understand it. Here we fight so hard to be accepted by the straight community, yet we tear each other down in our own community. It doesn’t make sense to me.

    • @RaifDerrazi
      @RaifDerrazi  5 лет назад

      Our community has a very large pain body...and we want so badly to be ACCEPTED. so when something threatens that we push back...even if it's hypocritical to what we've been through personally. It's like high school, and we've been the outsiders and we so badly want to fit in with the cool kids that we will turn on anyone who gets in our way
