I've gone through your responses, and they've offered a bit of relief. I think I really care about what people say b/c I'm very hard on myself (a notion that Nancy presented which I never thought about before) so hopefully with that new insight I can be a little nicer to myself.
It's also great to hear that most of you outgrew it and are currently at a point that you are very comfortable with yourself--I aspire to be like you guys someday. |
