Absolutely. I figured that out a long time ago. Sorry if I sound obnoxious or arrogant but it's true. I don't like to looked down on. I've never liked it. I realized it didn't have to be like that. So now I don't allow myself to be made to feel inferior. And I don't allow others, if possible, to be made to feel inferior as well. Nobody should have to feel that way. Take care and thanks for mentioning it Firstborn, I think a lot of people may learn something from it...Gallytuck.  |

I didn't let people make me feel that way when I was younger. Now I refuse to believe that anyone is better than me. TarHeelGirl  |

Hiya Deb I felt like this when I was married to the idiot, hehe. Actually he made me feel like this, but after the divorce, and with some counseling, I overcame all that. I am comfortable being ME, and I kinda like ME, I absolutely LOVE being where I am in my life and wouldnt go back to ANY year. I am 48 too, and I love being that age, I love being a Grandmother, and I love my life.. It took some work to get "here" but with your outlook on life, it should be easy. I have a lot of respect for you and your opinions, and I think you are probably "there" just dont realize it yet.. huggggsss to ya Sis!!!!  |

Eleanor Roosevelt said "No one can hurt you without your consent." And Ghandi "They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them." It is our willing permission, our consent to what happens to us, that hurts us far more than what happens to us in the first place. It is hard to accept that, especially if we have spent years explaining our problems/miseries in terms of someone else's behaviors, being dependent upon someone else's views of us or their treatment of us; always jumping through hoops (for spouse, children, co-workers); essentially building our lives around the behavior of others, empowering the weaknesses of OTHERS to control us. If you can honestly say to yourself "I am who I am because of the choices *I* made yesterday; and it is NOT what happens to me, but MY RESPONSE to what happens to me, it is how *I* RESPOND that can hurt me. You can transcend any difficulty, any hardship, anyone.....when you are value centered, focused, proactive instead of reactive, then you won't feel inferior to anyone. Deb, someday I hope to spend some time, sharing many thoughts and experiences and dialogues, etc., with you, and I hope you will bring this subject up, again.? HUGS, Cat  |

OH MOM!! How could you say that?!?!? I agree with Agent Smith! I wish you could be outside of your own self and see what we see with our own eyes!!! Didn't you know you are soooo special? Didn't you know that you reflect so much love and peace? Didn't you know that God made you unique and in his own image? Didn't you know that a lot of people love you besides your kids and husband, and family? I am so thankful to God that I came to this site and got the privilege to know you. You are soooo precious to God and to me! I speak for myself. I have so much admiration and respect for you than my own mother. You are full of love and you give and SHOW love. That is worthy to our eyes and the Lord's eyes. You are more precious and valuable than gold. God bless you always. I love you lots...  |

TeeHeelGirl: LOL AgentSmith: That is the sweetest thing so say, and so nice to wake up this morning and read your words! I guess most of it stems from being raised a non mormon in a mormon communinty and dad and mom didnt have much, and sooooooo many people looking down on us. You know the last kid picked for anything? Too many things in the past that have made me feel this way. But thanks so much agent smith. You have made me feel ten feet tall today!! |

OH thinker, I know, jumping through hoops, being made to feel guilty if everyone else needs are not met first. YES< empowering the weakness of others to control us, you hit the nail on the head! I guess I have always responded differently. Heck even for the book I was able to get published, they wanted my picture on the back, but I felt I didnt look good enough to put a picture on a dang book cover. Perhaps next time, ya know go to those places where they do the glamour poses? THEY can make anyone look good! I look forward to spending time with you too thinker, and I"M EVEN going to make you put the worm on your own fishing hook!! LOL Hugs my buddy. |

OH SWEET!! what kind and beautiful words you have to say to me. Maybe its because of my experiences and the put downs of others that I do try and show love, because I know the pain of being put down and slighted for no reason. I dont always suceed, but I do try to treat others as well as I can. Thanks sweet. This is so good to hear. I love you too hon, love mama. |

There is such a thing, yes? I think I'd have to have someone even do that for me. hehehe...go ahead and roll them eyes, cuz I admit: I'm a "do-me-take-me-buy-me-bring-me" kinda girl  JK! |

thank you stainedglass. I pray that it always works that way. I know I was in the store the other day, and this couple in front of me was looking my way and whispering, I looked the man right in the eyes, and then I noticed they were looking at and whispering about everyone lined up at kmart that was *differnt* from their selves. Its people like this that make others feel inferior. |
