There IS a lot of condescension, hypocricy, sterotyping, and perhaps the worst and most common- plain old JUDJING!

Then again you are right the BS-ing and the lying to cover up what the judger just did- they made us feel inferior over something we cannot control!! Also occurrs with wealth- oftentimes we cannot control how wealthy we are, not 100% of the time but OFTEN!

I'm with you here, this angers me too..

....I guess all one can do is accentuate what we DO have going for us, no matter the size of the ability/trait...

I find myself OOZING with kindness/sweetness/empathy.....I try to accentuate my good traits BIG TIME- I blow people over!!!! I work hard at it!!!!!!!!
