    That this person said this to you, but I think all of us have done so at one time or another especially when we are younger. I think its more important to ask yourself does this persons opinion matter to you and is there some truth to what they said and is this opinion of theirs, of long term benefit to you ? But if not, then reassess. Two mantras I like A tiger doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep, he just eats them. Problem solved Once you learn how much you're worth, you'll stop giving people discounts .

    For most of my life, fuelled by worrying too much what other people think of me and poor self image. I was always a bit of a hermit, almost afraid to go out in public, always self conscious. Total opposite now. Found my 'self' after all these years. It's very empowering. So to answer your question, not any more, but it's taken me a long time to arrive here 😎😀

    Sold yourself short in a particular area of our life,your whole life? Was this person implying that you had failed somehow? It doesn't sound like a particulary helpful remark,a bit of negging I feel....life is really about the choices we make and partly about what happens to us that we can't control,all we can control is how we react to those events..we can't change the past,can't control th future,just live in the present...if you are happy lily content with where you are at that is all that matters,if not change what you can,and hope for more xxFreya

    I feared for a long time I had one of these.. I was soo very often told to get back in the real world, and get my head out of my arse..So much so.. I started going to a psychiatrist ...He was fascinated.. and sent me to a handful of his associates and stuff...and THIS Action made it worse for me.. because by this time.. I was fearful I FAR further gone then I had been told..Well.. eventually, I was interviewed by an entire community of these mind bending weirdos, and told I would be in fact, the STUDY for a doctorate..Some months to a year AFTER this all started, I finally had my analysis come back..I did NOT have a "Superiority Complex" at all...It was declared ..."That I genuinely WAS superior"

    Yes, in the beginning of my 20s, when I first started dating a guy who was in his early 30s and was about a decade older than me. So, he was in his prime age and I had only entered into my adulthood at the time. Hence, I was inexperienced on many levels and in life generally. I didn't know what to expect from a relationship and how should we treat each other in a relationship, etc. so I always listened to what he said and was walking behind him (in concept) for about six months. Thanks to my born strong personality, I felt something was wrong with the way I was treated, hence I woke up to his mistreating one day and ended the relationship without a hesitation, nor a warning! The guy was shocked and pissed that I stood up for myself, but I shut down all communications from him and left him dealing with his own arrogant ego without a bit of caring 😛 I was barely 21 back then and have never let any men control or walk over me again to the same extend ever since! Therefore, I have not sold myself short for one and a half decades and can't see that I will ever let that happen again in this life! - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think probably everybody's sold themselves short at one point or another in their lives - whether it be at work or in our personal lives. I presume you're talking about the personal. I got into a relationship years ago with a woman that was so not for me it was ridiculous. I could sort of see it at the time but ignored all the quizzical brow-furrowing from my friends when we were out together. She really was not good company at all. But, and I know this is selfish, I was tired of being single and not having anybody to share things with. Turned out I couldn't share anything with this woman anyway, as she never wanted to do anything. I wasted a couple of months of my life in that relationship. I've also been told that I waste my time chasing after lesser-attractive types as I (and they're correct on this) am scared of failing with the more attractive types that (apparently) I stand a decent chance with. Fear of failure, I'm 45 and still have it!
