Blog Every Day in May Challenge- Day 25
Something someone told me about myself that I’ll never forget (good or bad)
I don’t want to dwell on the negative. I’m sure I was told many positive things and I wish I could think of something good. I have wracked my brain for a specific memory! However the only thing that comes to mind that I was told again and again and that really stuck with me for most of my life, at least that I can remember (I don’t claim to have a great memory), was that:
I am stupid.
I was told this so many times, in so many ways, that I truly believed it. Not consciously, but it very much affected my low self esteem, lack of confidence, and contributed to my depression and feelings of worthlessness.
Luckily, I no longer believe it! My view of myself has done almost a 180 over the last few years! Just because he said so, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Yep, I know that I am awesome! Do you?
It wasn't always in words, but actions speak loads. Some people don't know how to deal with kids, so I was never good enough. But I know now that I am! 😉 Thank you for your comments!
Thank you.
It's so SAD and shocking to me that people have the audacity to say those sorts of things..but I too have experienced similar [untrue] words. So glad you know what's the truth really is!! 🙂
How nice you've over come that. Sorry you had to endure that type of treatment. Oozing Out My EArs
Thank you! Hope you do as well. 😉
I understand how you felt as I had a similar experience and it does take a long time to heal. I'm so glad that you feel so different now.
Take care x
