Hi Anita,

Thank you for your reply. This makes a lot of sense to me. I guess like a lot of things in my life I want it to happen over night and realistically that is not going to happen.

After reading your post I think I may have identified at least one person who was overly critical of me in school and that was a teacher I had. I recall her calling me bossy and scolding me for a comment I made which to me was innocent – My Dad actually had to come to the school to talk to her about it. I recall him explaining to her that this was something often said in our Irish households.

Many thanks 🙂
