I want to share when I have felt humiliated.
My name is Michael van Hardenberg. These are the experinces in my life when I felt humiliated:
The only two women who I really pursued rejected me on the basis of who I am.
I pissed myself when I was robbed at gunpoint on my job.
The first time I made out with a girl she stood up and decalared "Oh my god, you don't know how to kiss."
I have turned down two women who wanted to have sex with me because I didn't feel comfortable with my body.
My boss gave me a speech on personal hygeine at one of my jobs.
I had an undescended testicle and had surgery to correct the problem.
All of these experinces are part of me and I felt humilated when each of these events in my life took place. I don't need or want an analysis of these events. I just want to express what happened and how it made me feel.
I am doing what I can to learn how to thrive and part of that process for myself is learning to be comfortable with who I am. I feel that by expressing these experience I free myself from seeking validation. I intend to tell my freinds about these experiences next time we are together. The more honestly I express myself, the less anxiety and stress I feel when communicating with another person.
