Re: We judge ourselves by how people view us
wannabe_a_mum, people or the world in general also judge us to a certain degree, by how we judge ourselves.
have heart, you are by no means inadequate because you don't have children. it's a shame that people you have dealings with think that way. but you ought to know better than that.
Yes but it's catch 22, a vicious circle.....In the last few months I have felt so much more of a failure, so much mor einadequate, so much less of a woman because of how people have quite outwardly viewed me and let their feelings known. This in turn makes you feel such a small person and I judge myself as having failed...................
Yes I know I shouldn't judge myself based on how people view me/my situation........
On the other side, in my better days, just a mere 6 years ago, people viewed me as ultra successful, due to career, marriage..everything......so I judged myself as being in line with the world........
It's all to do with meeting the world's (unjust and inflated!) expectations................
