Stifled? Can’t seem to express yourself freely? Here’s a reason why…
You know, when I first completed this site, I considered this a milestone in my life. After years of writing about The Viable Alternative, I finally was able to compile it all into one neat little site. I beamed with pride at what I considered an intellectual masterpiece of all the insights that helped me on my path of personal development.
Well, after my “crowing achievement”, when I realized all was “done”, I excitedly email several trusted friends of mine who’ve been what I’ve considered confidants on my path of self-discovery and tell them to check out my site.
One of my friends, who has been a trusted mentor of mine, gave me what my ego considered to be some damning feedback about my site. Now, I always welcome constructive criticism from trusted and well meaning people, because it helps me to grow and work on my blindspots. However, due to fact that I am a sensitive person by nature, (a quality that I have always loathed about myself), the feedback was quite stinging.
