hi, pegasus!i know that "yikes" feeling well..i can tell you must be a sensitive person, like me. don't worry..you didn't say anything that you should be embarrassed about! now myself, on the other hand..:)
what you wrote sounds very painful..you sound like an intelligent, interesting person!! don't let these people fool you! i wonder if you didn't receive much acknowledgement as a child? yes, there are a lot of self-absorbed, and, if i may be so bold, rude, people out there today..that's really heartbreaking that no one said goodbye when you left the volunteer organization..what are these people thinking! i'm so sorry..i wish you could believe in yourself, because you sound like someone really worth getting to know! i mean, listen to the title of your thread..don't buy into it. you've got to start changing your thought patterns about yourself. i have an idea for you: brainstorm and make a list of your positive attributes and some positive affirmations and read that list once a day right after you get up in the morning. preferably write the affirmations on a colored piece of paper or tape them onto colored paper (color ignites the subconscious mind). or maybe just try to ignore some of those negative thoughts in your head..
i'm glad you could express that and get it out--it is amazing how telling someone else your problems helps. don't be afraid to show the dark side..
take care,;0)
