    People who make barbed comments have almost definitely got their own 'issues' and feel they must project their insecurities onto someone else....

    There is no "almost" about it. Why else would you do that sort of thing?

    I think it boils down to not caring what anyone else thinks about you. As long as you treat people how you want to be treated you have nothing to fear....

    It has taken me 25 years to see the funny side of it:rotfl::rotfl: once the twitching stopped.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    No at school the embarrassment was caused by my father picking me up from school (when he could remember) in a white transit van with SNUFFY GARRAT THE URBAN COWBOY! written across both sides of it....

    It wasn't cool to be the offspring of country singers 30 years ago....:rolleyes:

    You must have developed quite a thick hide.

    Yeh and mine

    My mum came to everything I was in, plays, choir, etc and the only thing my dad came to was my swimming competitions which he pushed me into and I got to a stage where I was so worried about losing and letting him down that I would be nearly sick before every race. I think that insecurity has carried on with me into my adult life, as I spend my life worrying about what my scorg thinks and making sure he is ok and trying to please him that I am miserable a lot of the time.

    oops, sorry guys, didn't mean that to come out, everyone's got their own problems without listening to mine ranting on

    Problems are here to be shared and listened to. :grouphug:

    Scorgeous please no need to apologise. This is the best place to get stuff off your chest - the people who post on here are fanatastic. Sorry you feel like you do - I have learned - like someone said earlier- we all struggle with 'stuff' and it's ok to be flawed and therefore human. Rant away honey XX
