Sometimes its hard to remember that not being understood or finding people that you can relate to and who can relate to you, doesn't mean your deficient or defective. That it could mean others around you haven't caught up to you yet. Many blessings Thank you so much for sharing this.

It's like after a period of time...with age and wisdom [maybe?] that living for yourself just becomes more important. Thanks for that insight of your experience Michael. :) I think I can agree with that.

It seems that when people get to certain age, such acceptance does not matter. Either that, or they just give up. I'm like that. I’m an HSP, and I quited being “normal” a long ago.

Thank you! :) I am glad you can relate. I like hearing that. [A lot.] <i>I do struggle from time to time when I am around people who can’t simply appreciate the good things in me.</i> Me too. It can hurt. I have sensitive feelings and so feel the undercurrents [subtle nuances, the energy, the 'alleged' causes and even the 'justified' reasons] and am aware of a lot more than I let on. <i>I stagger, but I always stand on the belief that I am more than what I am now, and even a lot better.</i> I get this too. I try to practice, though, "What if this *is* my potential? Am I good enough as I am right now in this moment?" My brain may argue but my intuitive voice says a quiet but firm and resounding, "Yes. Absolutely." I get where you are with that though but I remember when I used to beat myself up for my past mistakes. I used to then think I was worthy of nothing. This is not hyperbole. If a person disliked me, fine. If they could just let me go on about in my self-loathing all would be well. But then a smart lady told me to quit knocking who I was in the past because it was still me. She would say, "You may know better and know differently, but that does not mean you were LESS worthy - back then - of love and respect." It touched me deeply and so today when I want to look back on the old me, I don't do it with judgement and fervor. I do it with kindness and compassion. <i>Way better than how they perceive me.</i> ...and THAT's what it is. <b>Their</b> perception. <b>Their</b> mitote. [<b>Their</b> dream of the world.] If who we are does not line up with *their* shoulds or "ought to's " it's on them. And how sad for them that they would choose to create such a limited world that we [thoughtful, fun, special, and creative and imaginative people] cannot be a part of. They're missing out on so many possibilities that people like us could introduce them to - so this is why I think it's terribly sad. Not for me so much. Yes it can hurt sometimes but it's not the daily living hurt that I used to have when I was busy trying to pretend to be *like them.* Instead my sadness is relegated to their choices. Not how I am or who I am. Not anymore. And as long as your perception of yourself is positive, truly, this is all that matters. And if it wavers a little bit, that still shouldn't knock you off guard because consciously you know you are still worthy of love and respect. :) Thank you Ronnie. Hi Ronnie.

I do struggle from time to time when I am around people who can’t simply appreciate the good things in me.

Me too. It can hurt. I have sensitive feelings and so feel the undercurrents [subtle nuances, the energy, the 'alleged' causes and even the 'justified' reasons] and am aware of a lot more than I let on.

I stagger, but I always stand on the belief that I am more than what I am now, and even a lot better.

I get this too. I try to practice, though, “What if this *is* my potential? Am I good enough as I am right now in this moment?” My brain may argue but my intuitive voice says a quiet but firm and resounding, “Yes. Absolutely.”

Way better than how they perceive me.

…and THAT’s what it is. Their perception. Their mitote. [Their dream of the world.] If who we are does not line up with *their* shoulds or “ought to’s ” it’s on them.

Equally, I was so engrossed reading your autobio -I can so relate. This post's phrase particularly, hit me hard: "Just because some people may not believe you or accept you due to your gifts, it does not mean you are less than. To the contrary." I do struggle from time to time when I am around people who can't simply appreciate the good things in me.
