Did someone ever tell you something about yourself that affected you? How did you react on this one. Sometimes some people notice something in us and they tell us regardless if they know us that well. However, this may leave a mark in the way we think about ourselves. Thsi may not happen all the time but I think this is true to some extent. How did you get over this one? Did you prove they are wrong?

There was a time that i was so moody at work that i keep on snapping on people and I get angry very easily. People were not used to be being like that because I am usually very calm and doesn't react very to things emotionally. The only excuse that i could give at that time was it was because of hormones because i was taking something at that time. Then there was this sales personnel that we have who found the courage to talk to me and tell me that they have found my diffecult to deal with my moods and that it seemed I always angry with very little provocation. I immediately checked myself and exerted conscious efforts to overcome my moods because its affecting people.

I"M sure I have. I usually am able to deal with the in a civilized way:)
SOmetimes there is something to it and I try to improve in that area. SOmetimes it has nothing to do with me and I tend to just ignore it. Sometimes it might be some comment about me that just shows that the person knows me only superficially.
WHen I was younger I sometimes got hurt by the last kind. Now I usually don't get all stirred up but every once in a while there is something no matter how small that really gets to me.
How did I get over this kind of thing? Well the best way is, I think , is to figure out how much of it is true or constructive. THen depending on what it is I can try and do something about it or just ignore it completely.

What a coincidence. Yesterday I had tea with my former MD and he told me how the directors wanted me out of the company since they hated my guts. Now, I have proven them wrong by turning their company that at one time was making a huge loss to a profitable company as it is now. I told him that I am not surprised with that and now they have been proven wrong. I am very upfront and less diplomatic under certain situations and now they know that they do need someone to do that in the company. LOL!

I think this has happened to me before. I remeber thinking"Am I really Like that?" But i don't really remember what it was about so it could not affected me that much...sometimes you also can't believe everything that some people say about you...especially if they don't know oyu that well.
