Why are we one way or another? Should others dictate our lives?

So, I think I think too much. See?

I’ve been analyzing why I’m so insecure. Most of it has been because of what I’ve been told, i.e. I’m not attractive. Then I compare myself to other women, and I agree. For years it was put into my head I wasn’t attractive. Let’s face it, society says hairy women are not attractive, are not desirable, etc.

Then along came Joel, and he told me I was beautiful. No, I’m not, but to him I was, and it gave me a new confidence about myself. I’m told I was smiling more, I was happier, and I know I had a spring to my step. I FELT pretty and sexy when I was with him.

Then, for about 6-8 weeks or so, he hasn’t said that. So, now I find myself feeling very insecure, very self conscious, and thinking about all the reasons.

Should we allow others to dictate how we feel about ourselves?
