She knew whose love she doubted. It wasn't her parents' and it wasn't her friends: It was her own.

About This Quote

If you doubt your love for someone, it isn't your parents or friends you are doubting. Your doubt is your own. It is the notion that you don't deserve the love of another person. For example, if on Valentine's Day a girl receives roses from her boyfriend and on March 10th she receives a dozen red roses from her mother, she will start feeling guilty about receiving "too much" attention from him on Valentine's Day. There is nothing wrong with the type of attention she receives on March 10th and it is not her fault that she received more attention than on Valentine's Day.
