Thank you for posting this, it is as if you were holding up a mirror. A mirror I do not particularly want to look into but one that is not distorted.

You have a lot of courage being open to hearing these things. I guess I've preferred to hide rather than accept what other people say about me, that I can not remember myself. It's like what wanttoheal said--they must be lying, trying to trick me, although they would have no reason to do so. Kudos on your courage, and strength for your brave new odyssey.
