It all hurts but

1)...it's not a big deal. It's not true and once that person knows me better they'll know I'm not that way.

2) ...it's not a big deal. It's not true, and that person is very negative and nothing I do or say will change their mind.

3)...it is true, and it is a flaw I have, but I'm working to change that the best I can, and on balance I have more strengths than weaknesses.


This is very powerful. I am going to copy it into my thread and see how I will answer it.

Did you answer the question for yourself, and what did you discover?

I am being the possibility of:

1) Integrity
2) Loving myself completely.
3) Things flowing naturally between us, without any fear or attachment to the outcome.

"It's do-able." What are the actions now?
