to be born w/no self esteem?
I was watching my 7 yr old in brownies yesterday. Interacting w/the other kids, and they were playing a game, and I remembered as a kid, I felt the emotions (I have very little actual memories). I felt like maybe how I proly felt in brownies, confusion, terror. I felt like a leper. That noone would come near me. I was afraid of them.
I could only have been 6-7 or so, cuz I only did brownies a few months I think. It was weird standing there, and reliving the sketchy feelings. And then it was worse later cuz I thot I had no memeories, but I must, cuz where did those come from?
So I dunno, I think I had no self esteem pretty young?
Is that the way it was for most people you think?
I dunno.
I just kinda worried some.
I'm finding raising my daughter kindof hard sometimes.
She sets stuff off sometimes.
I DON'T want her to be like me :-(
I want her to make a LIFE for herself, not waste away the years like I have......
