You are your own worst critic, so you are finding the negative in whatever this situation is. I read this and see that that root of the situation is that you are a good, nice person (people-pleaser). Unfortunately, everyone doesn't have your heart, so they treat people and take advantage of them or even bully them (at our age that sounds so ridiculous, but its true). Just keep your head up knowing you have a wonderful life...an awesome family (specifically your sister-in-law...ha) and a great job. No one can ruin that for you. YOU ROCK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127496608826660695.post-76463709412694968592012-05-07T14:09:02.402-04:002012-05-07T14:09:02.402-04:00I wish I wasn't a "people-pleaser". ...I wish I wasn't a "people-pleaser". I wish I could just be confident in who I was and say, to heck with them. Why can't I do that? Why do I care what they think so much?

I don't necessarily have a solution to offer other than to pray about it.

If you make time to run and make an effort to do it, you have to do the same in your conviction to become stronger. Maybe come up with an empowering phrase that you say every morning when you wake up. Leave daily reminders on post it notes in your car, at work, at home - that way you will focus on making the change. And remember, only try to change the things you have control over - which is your attitude and the way you handle situations. You can't control others, only how you deal with them and how you let them affect you!

I'm praying I can find a way to not let it affect my personal time with the kiddos, but at work, I'm a shell of myself. I'm also fragile. I worry if a student pushes me too far...they'll feel the wrath that is bubbling up inside of me. If anyone wondered why I run...this is why! I can't seem to find another way to release it all.mrs.monica @ RTP_inHeelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733835493878516811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127496608826660695.post-8865574717338295532012-05-07T12:31:52.214-04:002012-05-07T12:31:52.214-04:00Ugh...my last post didn't stick.

I look forward to them when I see you have updated your blog but today I was sad because I feel that you are sad. I know that we lost touch once high school got out but you are one of the few people that I look forward to getting to know again :) You are am amazing wife, mother, teacher, and friend. You are a strong woman, always have, always will be. Hugs!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741205623500491308noreply@blogger.com
