It was my emotions. I had a hard time emotionally in those moments that I lost those friends. Since I am a 4, I am not generally a confrontational person. It was hard for me to stand up to their ridicule. In my mind, my feelings did get hurt but I did not let that sway my convictions. So I guess I did care about what they thought to a certain extent but not enough to give into their peer pressure.

Now as an adult I have more interpersonal experience and skills. I can see the obvious ploys of people and their manipulations. I have learned not to let people bother me as much when I have to disagree with them.

I was not really talking about how intelligent or emotionally stable anyone is at any age. I merely was relaying a point of view(my view at 18) and a learning experience. That point of view has changed with age. Learning is a never ending process....as you grow more and more input will continually shape your thoughts and actions. Until the day you take that big dirt nap in the ground.

• In a nutshell: I had not yet learned how to deal with those situations at 18. Susan..this seemed more clear. (o: 00:58:48 12/16/00 (0)
