I am developing a manual for women to know how to defend their communities against indecent materials and I was writing the piece for how to handle negative opposition.

I googled tonight looking for something to read to help me calm my spirit after receiving some "half-truths" as you so appropriately call them served up in anger. I'm still processing but your article definitely helped me feel less alone. Thank you! This is great!

I enjoyed reading that. Hopefully it will help me out. I've had negitive feedback before and it does put you down. Makes me feel terrible when I'm trying really hard yet I still get negitive feedback. Some of it has been half truth and half real. So from the real negitive feedback I've tried to improve. But I've decided that I can only do my best and keep trying. If I still get negitive feedback after that then there's not alot I can do. I put it down to the fact that Im still young and need more experience. I think I'll get better in time. I'm still learning how to do things and there's alot to remember. That was all really spot on.

I think you did..." and it totally leveled me. I WAS trying to impress people, and it backfired horribly. It was devastating feedback because I was doing it so frequently without fully realizing it. Instead I actually said "thank you... you're right I was " and he nodded at me understanding, then told me why I shouldn't ever do that. I spent weeks thinking about how I was communicating to people, and found it was my own short comings that was causing me to impress others. After that, I practiced going entire days without mentioning any kind of accomplishment, benefit, status, goal, dream to ANYBODY, and felt great. I was finally letting people get to know ME. People would instead find out things on their own then say "Oh my gosh, that is so interesting...why didn't you tell me that before," and i was glad to after that. Men began respecting me more, and women would listen to everything I said intently. My dating life improved, and friendships got better. So next time someone complains about you or even tells you something candid that you know is true, look them in the eye and say "thank you, you're absolutely right" and make a change. It may save your life. I once mentioned a friend as “a model” and a fellow man once said “did you say that to impress us?? I think you did…” and it totally leveled me.
