I have always marched to my own drum, yet, there are attitudes that are SO ingrained in me that the self-hate I have for myself points to these attitudes, the cultural ones, and says, "See, you dont measure up, you cant do it, everyone else does, but do you DONT!" If only there wasnt so much self-hate and more self-love, I think my attachement to some of these attitudes would fade.
Did I make any sense? Or do only I understand what I mean?  |
Heh - i wasn't even sure *I* made sense. I think i was trying to refer to your concern that everyone would bash you, and to say 'nope - most of us totally *get* it, you are not alone. =)
Yeah there are some ppl who just seem to float through it all and shine. I always wonder how. I'd like to be one of those women, but when around them, i actually feel worse about myself and not worthy enough to be near them to learn
