Feel help: Have you been frequently told that you’re “special,” - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Editors:

Have you been frequently told that you’re “special,” “very intelligent,” “brilliant,” even, and not been able to believe or accept it?

If yes, do you feel insecure about yourself, especially in relation to those who exhibit the same strengths and may pose a threat to you? How do you cope with these feelings?

I’ve been told that. I don’t accept it. I never had to worry about meeting someone just like me. I found at that there are a lot of people better than I am.

i feel you, i was there. sometime after i moved to florida i got this self confidence that i am worth something, and realized all along that i was. it is all about your self perception. i say this from experience and from the heart, if you aren’t happy with something…change it. maybe it will take a while or not long at all but you only live one life. you really don’t want to spend it wishing something was different.

Yeah… But, in the grand scheme of things, I’m really not special. Sucks, but it’s true.

actually by your profile you are quite special. with all tha activities you are engaged in you look pretty fun to hang out with. someone who wants to live their life not spending it with i shoulda’s, that is a unique quality that not everyone can grasp

yeah you. just with hobbies alone. but within the whole thing you show that you are diverse in nature. you have broadened yourself with insight as well as loving to be social. that is my fault, i don’t let people get too close
