I now understand what she meant and can tell the two apart :-) Sometimes I even find it helpful to remind myself that others may just be telling me what they "see" not judging me.

Oooh, I can so relate! It's the "sting" of hearing the truth!! (oh, sorry, maybe that's just for me...)

Sometimes the truth hurts, but if I can have that all-to-fleeting moment of truth with myself, the sting does go away. It even opens me up to the one who is just trying to be, well, honest. No judgements, just the facts.

I think of how easy it is, sometimes, for I to take the advice of T's and Psychs and all the other "keepers of sanity" that we talk to, yet fail to see that those around us might just be trying to help, even though it is coming from someone with whom we do not get along - those are the ones that have the biggest sting!

Um... I may have got off course here, but I thought that this suggestion was a really cool one to consider...
