You teach people how to treat you... (true words)

Sometimes I stress out about pleasing others and I wish I could just do my best and be happy with that. Instead I worry, fidget and often ramble like a incoherent person. That usually just makes the person who's already frowning at me, frown more.

"Positive Confrontations" -something to work towards, along with letting go of the "doe eyed Bambi" -she causes way too much trouble. PS I know now that Bambi is a "he" but, doesn't it seem like "he" should have been a "she", along with all innocent baby deers?
