What emotion do you struggle the most with?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 16, 2007:

I struggle with Paranoia. I struggle because I am not comfortable with myself at this moment. I tend to worry about what other people are saying or what they are trying to do to me.

I am beginning to understand that you have to be comfortable with the "individual you are" to be independant of what other people say or do. If that makes any sense?  I have to be happy with myself and who I am. Once I achieve that, I will not be so concerned with anyone else's opinion.

I like this post… in psychology the phenomon of being effected by others perceptions is called the “looking glass self”…meaning that people tend to see themselves as other people see them. But this can be bad because the world is erratic… I feel this way to though and share your struggle to be independant of how I'm being precieved, but sensitive to being able to grow from that perception.
