Hmmm...questionable

I don't quite know what it is about people in general...but we do a lot of stupid things. We say things we don't mean, keep inside what we feel and when we feel inadequate and weak...we lash out at others to try and fail to bring ourselves back up.

It's a vicious cycle that I have been guilty of at times; but recently I feel like I've been the brunt of many people's insecurities and I, unwittingly, have been letting them drag me down a slippery slope. They say misery loves company, but don't come knocking at my door anymore because no one will be there to answer.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent - that's what I've had to repeat to myself over and over these past few weeks. It's pointless to let another's negativity infiltrate your life to the point where you don't know why you feel upset anymore. You may have nothing to be ashamed of but just the presence of that person can knock you down and leave you breathless, unsure about yourself and even your own life.

All I can say is that if you're feeling down on yourself or lost- look in the mirror to find the problem. Don't blame it on others or try to make them feel as if they are the ones with the issue. Nine times out of 10 the culprit is you.
