First I want to say thanks to everyone here...your comments have helped alot.
Riglee: I realised that what you were saying about believing in myself is true, and I think I am getting better at filtering what people say to me...I came to some conclusions about one of these people last night and realised that he isn't really qualified to have an oppinion about certain things that he does state his oppinion to me about, and he isn't very happy in his own life, neither was the other person who mentioned it...infact I think they were being critical of me because they were being highly critical of themselves for the way their lives are at the moment.
I must be improving at believing in myself. Usually I just need a mirror to put it out there so I can reflect on the issue and come to a conclusion myself...I think we are all capable of working our issues out for ourselves, but sometimes we just need a reminder from ourselves...reflected in others!
I do have my own goals and intentions which I work towards...I didn't really mention that I did in my previous post as it wasn't really relevant to the issue! But thanks for the reminder.
Brendannz: I think what you said was spot on about me giving these issues less importance in my own mind. I am finding a balance between activity and non-activity again so I can distract myself more now when I do start thinking too much about it!
I had somesort of regressive experience in the last few years which sort of shook my foundations and "the castle came tumbling down" so to speak. I spent alot of time on my own...maybe too much. Depression, anger, pain...all that! It has been a journey of reassimilating back into society for me and re-building myself.
Getting used to being around people again, as a sensitive person, is a real challenge.
