Toast made me go looking at your profile Gilda. Which I'm sure those that are following this thread have also. And you look fine to me!

May I ask if you or your therapist has done any work on your beliefs and values concerning beauty, sexiness, charisma, social intelligence and all the other characteristics one may consider socially relevant and having influence on the context of your personal image?

Ditto.
As I was reading how you say "others" describe you, you did it in more in a physical aspect. Which would be the way most folks would describe your physical traits. For example, if you were party to an incident in which many had to describe what you looked like, I'm sure that most would describe you as small framed and petite. This would also be a view point from total strangers or those that don't know you on a personal level.
I am also enjoying your posts Gilda. And I'd like to see your answer to Mantus post.
Also, what is the solution or how you would deal with "personal attacks" made to your inner self vs. your physical traits? What I mean is sometimes we build shields to prevent or protect ourselves from either the comments or those that might snub us without saying a word. And sometimes we create these shields which might have others think are insensitive or even cruel when we might react or an NON reaction towards them.
I applaude people that go out and get the help they need to go through some form of stress or trauma that might accur during their lifetime or even something that might of happened 20 yrs earlier and still affects them in their daily life without really knowing it.
Also, when would a person even "know" they needed to seek help? Or are there many that deal with their traumas and can actually walk through it without help?
