I know for me personality-wise (self esteem, too, I am sure) I have always felt like others have more to offer. In this case, I am not as "wise" about MLC so feel like others would give better advice. I know I am relatively new at all this so that will come.

BUT interestingly at a time when my self esteem "should" be shot to he!! it is better than it has ever been, probably because I have finally realized that it is not and should not be tied to what others (i.e. my H) think or say.

The "new" me has realized I have more to offer others than I thought and that is where I am trying to find ways to put that into action (esp in Real Life), to get out of my little microcosm and get involved in something bigger than me. It is just a matter of maybe even "faking" confidence to make it happen. And finding my niche.

Heck, if I can survive this MLC crap surely I can find ways to make a difference. smile
