Do you teach currently? If so, for how long? And were you nervous when you started? Thank you for the advice :)

I taught last year, for exactly a school year. I was super nervous! There were ups and downs, but overall it was rewarding.

NFL Superbowl LIII Poll ...

That was the most anticlimactic Super Bowl I have ever seen. ๐Ÿ˜ด The half time show was eh, the commercials werenโ€™t anything special, it was just disappointing.

Ex-husband wants overnight visits with my daughter.

I know two people who have had their child taken away by an ex. Get a lawyer, get something in writing, and then take that step. Always better to be safe than sorry.

Iโ€™m currently reading how to win friends and influence people in the digital age. So far itโ€™s helpng me change my perception of people. I have a negative association with people, I get bullied and hurt by other easily. I know that this is down to me and my poor self esteem And low confidence. So Iโ€™m working on myself to change how others see me and o see others.

I think thatโ€™s key. How you see yourself influences how others see you. If you are confident in yourself then you wonโ€™t let others question or judge.

Believe in you and others will too.

100% my problem - low self confidence/esteem. I own this book, I should peruse it again. Thank you!

@DocteurRalph You just described 99% of all cats.

@Araz For the most part as we grow up we are taught to please others. Starting with our parents then on to our teachers and even bosses. We expect a favorable reward in return be it a pat on the back to a good grade to a raise. When we don't receive that reward we have a choice to sit there and take it or move on from trying to please that person. And it usually is only one person.
Narcissists on the other hand only do those things to please themselves. Never anyone else.
Finding the fine line between the two is fairly easy if you stay humble. And grounded.

That line is a hard one to find, soco. But this is very true.

I never had that problem. In fact I've always wondered how you start caring what others think about you. I'd probably be better in every way if I did give a crap about what my parents thought at the very least. Of course it's too late for that but yeah.

I guess there's a fine line between obsessing over other people's opinions and just not caring about how other people feel. And really I always blamed my 'don't give a f' attitude on living in my head too much. But I'm not really thinking about other people, I'm kind of off in this world of my own.

I really think you and my husband would get along, youโ€™re both so alike. If I could adopt even a little bit of this attitude, I know I would be happier.

dog sitting did it for me.

Dogs are the best. Theyโ€™re too busy loving you to judge.
