Thanks Sally! I don’t actually consider myself a Buddhist. I practice “tiny” Buddhism–meaning I apply small pieces of Buddhist wisdom to my everyday life. I also don’t consider myself an expert on anything. I am a student of life. =)

I enjoyed your advice. It was honest, simple and brief. How long have you been a Buddhist, and is your expertise in couseling, writing, and /or other fields?

You’re welcome Lmeiy! As a people pleaser, I have also struggled with this, and it helps to remember that we *all* feel insecure at times. We all want approval. But if we’re open with each other, we can help each other overcome these fears and insecurities. =)

Lori, I really really love this post. It’s like this huge awakening for me. I’ve always felt very defensive when people say certain things to me & I felt like people were often out to get me & i hated the thought of them disapproving of me. And I’m always wanted to change this part of me because all it makes me feel is insecure, alone & inadequate. I know deep down that comments by others probably mean nothing & they aren’t saying/doing things just to hurt me but I never really knew how to eradicate the feeling. This article really woke me up & I’m really gonna start practicing these tips to improve my relationship with others.

Thanks a lot
PS: Since I discovered TinyBuddha.com earlier this way, it has been my favourite website ever since. I just love reading all the featured posts & it has helped me so much in the way I view things in life. Keep up the good work !
