Cant sleep, because there is something on my mind that I feel the need to post in here on face book. First of all I will start by sharing that I had recently read this book by a psychiatrist that speaks about why people Invalidate other people. In other words, why people put people down to make them feel bad about themselves, and in turn, it makes the person Invalidating that person feel better about his or her self. Dr. Phil calls this Leveling”..... Today somebody, a guy, put me down on one of my posts. He completely insulted me. It shocked me and hurt my feelings, but I responded with kindness. Thats how I am. This guy used to be nice to me, and he has even been so nice as to like my photographs here on face book. About a week ago, or so, I noticed a post that he put up....somebody broke his heart. I commented on his post with compassion - even sending him a mental *Hugs* as I do to all of my face book friends, as I truly feel for anyone that is hurting, or going through a bad time. I actually am a caring person. After the hurt, and tears welling up in my eyes over this guys Invalidating and/or Leveling me, or trying to - I decided to go back on face book and tell him off! Yes! I was going to tell him off! Then I noticed his insulting post was no longer there. I thought that he had unfriended me and blocked me. He deactivated his account. Wow! This book has really opened my eyes to the people that put people down......it has helped me with my own self esteem, in realizing that these people are hurting themselves.....they are in their own pain and suffering, and they struggle with their own self esteem. I no longer feel the need to allow other people to level me or invalidate me.....They have the problem if they are acting like haters......Thats all I have to say...
