It's okay, really. I have come to the conclusion that though my upbringing was hard, it made me one tough bitch. I might not win in any altercation but I guarantee you whomever has decided to target me will know they have been in a fight when it is over.
That stubbornness has kept me alive and kicking for more years than I should have been here on this earth. After my accident the ER docs were astounded my injuries didn't kill me.
Go figure -- I have been suicidal on and off my entire life but even accidents that would have killed anyone else (I've had a couple, and several really close calls) have just banged me up real good. What a world, huh??
And I bet you are a lot more interesting than you give yourself credit for. One of the things I had to do at my job was get people to tell me about themselves. And to tell me about things that most people do not like talking about. (No, I am not a therapist!!
) And those people were ALWAYS crazy interesting to me once I got them comfortable with me and broke the ice, as they say.
