“My sense of self is so deeply dependent on others that I will always suffer a bit when other refuse to relate to me; there is no way around that simple fact. At the same time, I still have a self when relationships fail—and the suffering I experience is evidence of it.”
Reading Parker Palmer's "The Courage to Teach." Yeah, that quote is on page 72 and it pretty much slapped me outside the head. That, my friends, describes me.
