How can one person in one conversation make you feel about 2 inches tall? I had to go out to my parents house this morning to borrow some money a whole $8 and my dad was making a federal case about it. I am feeling like a piece of dirt now and am glad that I have therapy this afternoon or I don't know what I would do. I just don't understand how some people have that power to make another person feel so low after talking to them.

((((((((((((( jbug )))))))))))))))))

To answer your question how people have the power to make another person feel so low after talking to them......is......that you give them the power.

You are the one who has given the power to them to make you feel that way. Once you take back the power that you have given them....you will find that they will not be able to make you feel like dirt anymore. Granted, it is a process to go through and learn how to take back your power....but it is sooooooo worth it!

I hope you can find out how to take back YOUR power soon How can one person?

I had a good session with my T today. She agreed that my dad was being an *** and that I needed to take back my power. I was given a list of things to do this week to keep myself safe. I am hoping I am able to do them.

Hi jbug....err, it frustrates me that your dad would treat you like that. It sounds like you already have enough stress to deal with--having to borrow money is not easy. Yes, taking back your power sound like a great idea...take it back babe! Take all of it back! Be safe.

Parents can make you feel really good or really bad. They have powers that no other person in the world has. I hope your therapist was able to take away the bad voodoo.

The one making someone else feel like that can't be very happy inside... having to build their own self image upon putting others down. I'm sorry you're hurting.

I am feeling kind of ok today. I just had to call my dad and talked to him not knowing he was in a rehersal. He does the soundboard for church. Since he and my mom have decided that I no longer need soda I've been drinking my juice, lemonade, water,gatorade etc and need more so have to go back to him. I am very scared and feel very small. He is supposed to call me back after rehersal is done so we will see how this goes.

Parents seem to know exactly how to make us feel small and like we owe them something that we could never repay.

My dad always makes me feel like I'm nothing very special...and it hurts so bad...so I can really relate.

Well he did it again. He told me that because I didn't plan on needing juice today I didn't get any. I guess the good thing is in a couple of days my disability check comes in and I can buy groceries and I can get my juice. Its just the thought that one man can make me feel so small.

hey, i work at a hotel (one by the airport at that) and sometimes people just test my patience, or tear my down as if the reason they were in a bad mood was because of me, and if they are in a bad mood they love to bring you down with them!
