In Reply to: Core Beliefs... posted by sedna on January 30, 2000 at 23:51:17:
My core belief seems to be, 'What's different about me?' I know there is this thing, that makes some people not like me, or be afraid of me, but it also seems to make some, a few, people like me. So I suppose I'm just a minority taste.
I've actually always had a very strong sense of personal rights, and this has gotten me into a lot of trouble. For example as a child I thought I had the right to express my opinions, and the right not to be hit, but the people around me didn't agree that I had that right. But I would stand up for my rights nonetheless, and of course having no power with which to establish my rights, I lost out and suffered for it. This has developed into what I call my St. Joan Complex. Put simply, I don't know when to keep my mouth shut. Because of this, I'm unemployed right now rather than completing a teacher-training course.
I'm very interested in NLP, and would consider seeing an NLP practitioner, but I don't suppose I could afford it. Please share more of your insights with us.
