> May be the hot weather is to blame, depression getting worse because of that etc...nonetheless, i feel judged somehow: i know i shouldn't feel like that: most of you folks have been kind to me, but i'm scared about the stereotype kind of thing.(Do you know what i mean?) My nation is not very well seen world wide (mafia and things like that) so i wonder how you guys are depicting me inside your heads: you know: the italian stereotype: short, fat and black haired holding a guitar in my hand singing "sole mio" and stuff like that.
> I know, it's a mind trip (a bad one!).Dear Anna Laura,
Please, please continue to post on this
board! A number of individuals here have
given you some very nice and positive
feedback; I hope you will take it to your
heart. I have read some of your posts and
have found nothing unusual about them.
Every human being is precious and valuable,
including you.Hang in here,
Glenn
