Thank you so much!

You're very welcome :)

I love the turn of phrase you use: to learn to accept other people who don't always accept us.

:D

It can be a challenge, but we all like them challenges on Steemit, don't we :p

Lol, depends on who you ask XD
We're on the same page with this one tho

Most my likfe, I've been a People-pleaser, so I've always felt bad at negative responses, seeking validation from others and trying to make everyone happy. The problem is, when you post things en masse, like videos, blogs, fiction, etc, you can't please everyone. It's one thing to manage pleasing your parents, siblings, to receive as little criticism from them, but you can't do that with the whole world.

Yeah, I feel you on this one. Kinda came up the same way, wanting to please and all that. Learned, in rather similar ways to you, that it just wasn't gonna be possible.

And I've learnt that sometimes, my mom won't be happy and that's ok, she'll complain that I didn't do my dishes, in my own house, but when I tell her all te videos I filmed instead, she's happy I was productive. And when I DO do my dishes, she likes it when I tell her, it makes her happy to know that sometimes, they don't always pile up. Similarly, some viewers will be happy with one video or the other, and not with another video, but they'll tune in to see what I,ve done because they are eager for the next time I post that type of video they enjoy.

You've really taken this particular lesson in the best of spirits, haven't you?
:)

And when people are critical, I can't let it get me down. I have a tendancy to question myself, question my worth. As I work on my healing, I get better at recognising my own self worth, and some days, those types of comments don't bother me. When they do, talking about it helps.

Yes, I used to have the same issue before...arguably, sometimes still do. The funny thing tho, is that with me, whenever it happens, it isn't so much a fear of not being 'enough' or 'sufficient' that triggers it, as much as it is a fear of being too overconfident in myself and my abilities. A fear of coming across too full of myself.

And yeah, sharing stuff like that is important. Which is where the importance of having at least one or two important friends and confidantes stems from.

It's a learning curve, and it can be a fun one :)

Indeed it is :P

Also, pardon the late reply...was dealing with a few things the last couple of days.
