Now I tell myself consider the source. People who have never published one word on line or had one piece of art work in their life anywhere to be shown, need to shut up. One thing about narcissists is their never ending criticism. I was thinking about criticism today and think once facet of narcissistic American society is how everything is a competition and a "measuring up" and how many are ready to tell people they are falling short.
I remember reading somewhere this: "Those who haven't done anything, judge those who haven't done everything."
ReplyDeleteNo matter how good you are at whatever you do, there's always someone who doesn't like you. Come to think of it there's plenty of people I don't like at all, so I don't expect them to like me back. Fair enough to me :)
Good quote Elli...
DeleteI agree about the last part too....:)
In my ventures of recovery the best thing I ever heard was to be careful of criticism, and compliments. To "be enough" is exactly that.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of being told I'm not enough. With compliments, I was so love bombed by the catfisher, I'm kind of cautious of those lately. I agree about being careful of criticism. I'm tired of being put down by people.
