The very little Little Turtle being a problem???
Maybe he did not receive the wisdom of being correctly parented.

The 4th grade teacher could see inside and bring out your lost potential.

I don't believe you are bad, you just have a scar on the inside.

It feels like it is not enough to be me...

Others have no respect for that true self...

Me, needs to get stronger, reject those who disrespect me and find some real respect for myself...

It works for some. (for me)

I find it hard to call people out who disrespect my boundaries.

It is not easy to learn new skills when I have been triggered. I am trying to learn....

My default response is social withdrawal.

I was thinking of talking to a Harley Street shrink

I don't want labels which is partly why I changed my mind

I AM A HUMAN BEING (I MEAN BEAR)

labels can be a big problem...especially if someone is trying to take you down...
i use labels to connect with other human beings...my shrink does not take me down...but i have had some that thought they were higher than me...i like EQUALITY
