R E S P E C T

I for some reason think I need respect from everyone...

I have just realized lately that I get really defensive when I feel like I am not being respected. I think that is kind of a normal feeling for many people, but for me it really gets to me quickly... a hot button of sorts I guess.

I think it is something I need to work on. I don't like to get really flustered that quickly. Now don't get me wrong I am a passionate and outspoken person so often times that equates to me getting very opinionated about certain subjects. But usually I don't leave the conversation actually mad or very irritated.

More time with God is definitely a needed thing for me right now. I am just having a male PMS time only it is lasting about 2 weeks....

Anyways, I just have a hard time feeling disrespected (even in the slightest) especially at work. It is just hard for me but in reality it is a insecurity for me. Honestly, at times, I doubt myself based on how old I am, how I look, what I did in school, or how much money I make..... this subjects can all make me uncomfortable and defensive.

I just don't want that as part of my life. I don't like to be "snappy and angry" just because I my feel a bit disrespected. It just ultimately doesn't matter that much. I just need to remember that.

I need to remember who I am in Christ and remember that I am respected and loved by a lot of people.

So that is all. I am just looking for a bit of respect and in that respect I need to learn what it mean to respect others.

Hi Josh, It sounds like you are going trough some difficult times. I will remember you in my prayers as you work through these issues. I know that adult responsibility can be heavy and relentless , sometimes it feels like there is no end in sight, but the bible says with Jesus the road is straight and the burden is light. Hang in there, lean on Jesus and he will steer you straight and releavve you of your pressure.
Take care, best wishes to you, Kati and the kids.
