How do you define yourself? And do you let others wrong judgements affect your own self esteem or precious life?
Each of us is a work in progress, let's all be gentle, and try to be kind, even if we dislike someone or have been hurt by them. I'm working on doing that and it's very hard sometimes. If we dislike someone so much and have been hurt so much by that person that its irreparable, then we should walk away with grace. Not easy to do, and I'm still working on it.

I would only add one thing,,IMHO,,,that our power is in the "Now"...this very moment. That is how I define myself,,,everything else is an illusion. Lenny

I define myself as someone who has a rich inner life, is into emotions, deep thoughts, craves drama, is histrionic, loves life, has improved amazingly, and I try not to let others wrong judgements affect my precious life..and that, is why, I quit my job and now work somewhere else...because life is too short to be around those who do not understand _me_......

Great question and wise thoughts!
I would say I would define myself by the choices I make, and the actions I take. |

Very good question Fuzzybear and very good thoughts you have.
Unfortunately I have allowed others who have judged me affect my self esteem. And the key word here is ALLOWED..... Snowy

I am my worst enemy. I am constantly belittling myself with all sorts or paranoid thoughts, real or not so real.

I used to define myself entirely by my job, title and material things. Having blown all that I've spent a very painful 18 months learning about myself.
So how I see myself is still evolving. I now see myself as a survivor in recovery, someone who is compassionate, and trying to grow as a person. I'm trying to explore my musical talents and my creative side through knitting. I'm learning to define myself by my own values not by how the world sees me. -splitimage
