Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Thanks all, for your encouragementPosted by Summer on September 13, 1999 at 10:48:32: Sam, thanks for the kind words - I really appreciated it & it gave me a different perspective. PN, you too - I wish you good luck in your endeavours as well, and yes, the going is certainly tough, isn't it! Derf - thank you. Cecil, thank you too. Sometimes you do surprise me. I realized the next day that this one person who judged me is not someone I should give all the power to - to making me feel so horrible. What for? I know it's not the sum total of who I am. This is something I'm still working on. Someone's criticism can completely demolish me - and this just shouldn't be the case. You can't please all the people all the time, as the saying goes. You can only strive to be the best version of yourself! I made a small error in judgement, but it was not the end of the world. I came in there to write a test for 1& 1/2 hours on a friday afternoon. I didn't think of it as an interview. I ended up calling her & leaving message stating I think she judged me a bit too harshly -and explained why I thought so. It's too bad I couldn't have 'stood up' for myself at the time I was being judged, but that is something I'm working on too - defending myself right away. I feel better about that incident, now that I've put it in a better perspective. On a positive note, I scored very high on the aptitude tests. I still feel a long way away from finding a direction for myself. I have some ideas, but the obstacles are always the same: finance and age. But I'm not giving up - no siree!
