As I stated (quite a few times) I'm fine with me. Why do think that people who are sensitive have poor self esteem? I assure you, we don't. Why on earth should we?
The post you are replying to is a light hearted attempt to end this. I am saying that shar has explained her position well enough for me to understand. And I have explained my position often enough to feel that I've gotten my point across as best I can, whether others have gotten it or not. I've reached my capabilities of explaining.
So I was asking shar if we could just agree to respect that each other's position was an honorable one, even if we don't agree.
I'm not asking that you believe that stereotypes are limiting to the individual.
But I can't understand how that leads you to believe I have poor self esteem. Perhaps you could explain the link again? No need to of course, we could just let this drop.
But again, no need to feel sorry for me. And my self esteem is just fine, thank you. I'm ok with me, and since I keep trying to understand what other people are saying and what they mean by what they are saying, I don't think it's fair to accuse me of projection. Projection would be if I assumed I knew what others meant.
A very confused,
Dinah
