“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Relationships

I went to the doctor two days ago and my boyfriend was mentioned in our conversation. "Oh that's great that you have a boyfriend! Now you can feel accepted by someone else besides your family and friends!"I instantly thought, 'But I'm not with him because he accepts me, I with him because I love him'. I wish I said that out-loud. I felt that her comment was offensive because I don't seek out relationships just to feel accepted and 'normal' nor to drain it with my insecurities. Rather, I seek them out to have someone that loves me for who I am and to have a friendship and moral support that I can treasure.

Would you guys find that kind of comment offensive too?

1 observations:

  1. Her remark was ridiculous. She should have known better. I would have felt slighted by it as well.

    Perhaps she did not mean to be rude. If she says something like this again, I would tell her how it makes you feel, and maybe she would think twice before making such a personal and insulting comment.
