How we are perceived by others is the hardest part to accept and can feel like a struggle from deep within us. I agree that you can focus on those who are able to see you and accept you.

Ah, the final words...that no amount if convincing can make someone else see who you really are, that it will change their minds, I mean sometimes it happens, but it is extremely rare -- and only because they decide to see things differently, when they realize that they allowed other things and people to influence them rather than thinking or feeling for themselves. That's where the challenge lies. There's many deep messages between the lines, history, family traditions and sometimes where there is no tradition none at all, I don't know which one is worse.
I am glad you saw the messages hidden between the lines, Carla. It's difficult for many, because acceptance and connection are one of the fundamentals for us as beings, and not getting them is akin to being in pain.
