I really don't think you didn't get the response you wanted because *you* posted it.

Personally, I thought it was a good statement...but also something I've been saying for a while. I think the statement is sooooooo true. Hubby's t has been trying to get him to think like that for a while. (He's a bit stubborn.)

Plus, once a person has been programmed to think a certain way (like someone who thinks no one likes them... ) it takes a loooooooooong time to rewrite that inner monologue.

Just wanted to let you know, I read your post, and just because not a lot of people replied doesn't mean you weren't right or valid.

My personal favorite saying is, "Don't put yourself down, there are enough other people that will do it for you." Something else to think about.
