When someone looks up to you

Posted by lynn970 on October 2, 2005, at 0:10:14

When I find out that someone looks up to me (besides my students or my children), I dont know how to handle it. I cant imagine someone looking up to me. It makes me nervous. I usually do or say something to make them stop. I dont know why I do that.

could it be becasue you are afraid of letting the person down? You have unconditional love from family so maybe you worry that if you allow someone else to have such high standards of you you might let them down and then they will feel angry with you?
Try to take it as flattery and that everyone has flaws and when our flaws are revealled others are generally accepting of that too.

I have have trumpet students and of course my own kids look up to me once in awhile. But today I was working out at the gym on the elipical machine and this older guy said I was his hero! LOL He said those are some serious numbers (showing what I have done on the machine). I just smiled, it was funny to me, because I have only been working out for 2 months! lol
