Excellent question, Fuzzy. And I find that I need to give two answers.

First, I believe that everyone has value...every person is a unique and precious part of creation, and nothing anyone thinks about you can change that value.

But I will admit, if someone else has a low opinion of me, it makes me have a lower opinion of myself. And if someone criticizes me, it is very hard for me not to let that affect my sense of self-worth.

But I'm working on it!

Thanks again for the thought-provoking question, Fuzzy.
*hugs*
