Judaye has come into her own. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did, and perhaps garner a little courage and backbone in the process. AND feel free to leave your comments. How do you feel on this issue?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Worrying About What People Think<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n I have a serious problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n For some irrational reason I am fearful of what other people think. \u00a0I mean people who do not know me and I do not know them. Then there are the people who think they know me that I do not have a relationship with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n I did not have this problem when I was younger. \u00a0When I got married I changed. \u00a0Why did I change? \u00a0I was trying to fit into a new environment. \u00a0We moved from a state I liked to a state I will never fit into.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n As I get older I do not have the energy to try to fit in. \u00a0Also, people work my nerves with their bullshit. \u00a0One of the things that I have slowly learned and accepted is that all people, that is everybody, \u00a0have faults, problems, and disappointments. \u00a0Yet they\u00a0continually put other people down. \u00a0Probably to deflect attention from themselves. \u00a0I admit I am occasionally guilty of this too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n From now on I am going to concentrate on myself and ignore what most people say about me, usually behind my back. \u00a0I am going to work on my goals and try to please myself and try to leave other people alone most of the time. Yep. I will let Bub make his own mistakes just like I did. \u00a0It really feels good to live this way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Be good to yourself or I’m going to talk about you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Judaye<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nEvery now and then – ok, lots of the time – I come across a post on someone’s blog that just resonates with me. I have decided to post one of those times. Some people have a habit of telling me that they think some of my characteristics (the ones they don’t like), the things that make me “me”, the ones I happen to think are strengths and NOT weaknesses, are not so great. Like, who made you an expert on my strengths and weaknesses? That’s what I mean!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
