I guess I don't understand the question, but why would anyone put you do for being those things?

LMAO!

i was teased horribly all through my school years for being a "browner","teacher's pet", "brainiac", etc etc etc and i never understood why a bunch of idiots would make fun of a smart person LOL

Actually because of my BP and BPD people often dont give me the credit of being intellegent.

ANd then there are times like last nite when this guy was teaching me how to make pizza he kept going over and over it. I learn very very very fast. Show me something once and let me go. If I am doing it wrong reteach me once. If I have a question I will ask it and then maybe one more time. By then I usually have it down pat. It was kinda funny cause the chef didnt want to over load me on my first nite which was nice I guess but some how teaching me how to grate cheese with thier fancy grater and making dough would be too much for me to handle... I dont get it.

All of the above all the time ;)

If I were any of those things I wouldnt give a CRAP what anyone thought of me.....It would be a waste of my privileged life!

The answer to your question is yes. But look at the world as a whole, people are put down for everything these days. The question is how do you feel about those attributes?

Society as a whole needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themself what they can do to improve instead of condemning all of the time.

This sounds a bit narcissitic, but I'll bite. The only place I still feel this is with my siblings. At age 55 sibling rivalry is still going strong. My brother says he's smarter than me (but he's not :-) my sister has a nicer house, a boat and all the good things in life, but would give her eye teeth to weigh what I weigh. So it seems everything always equals out in the long run. Karma rules!
Hugs, B

Never. But then I'm none of those things! LOL!

Seriously though, I do sometimes get the 'eye' if I say something intelligent. It's as if because I'm BP I shouldn't be smart at all.

(org) Yes on intelligence, wealth, s/t being well dressed and too professional and educated.

Also my analytical ability, need to excel and always do better, research capability, interest in the latest research.

In addition, seeing things in black gray or at other times white and all shades in between or seeing both sides of an argument and being open to both sides of an item. Politically I get in trouble or have the potential to get very in trouble and actually offend people with another point of view. I have spent the last 10 years in Louisiana which is mainly Democrat. I moved to Replulican(sp) country, Kansas. Democratic ideas have been presented to the point that I changed from Repubican(sp) to Independant.

In addition, growing up my mother is a firm Presbyterian now as an elder of the church who was very active. My father believes in G-d, currently very mad at him for an incident that happened in 1980. He is claims to be an athesist (sp) but at other times an agnostic or a believer in G-d.

And sex between my parents, let's not go there. To sum up a very interesting childhood. Very confusing. It made me very independent in my thinking. And highly critical in my reading skills and listening skills.



(1) People put others down so they feel better. It is a sign of inferiority and jealously IMHO.

don't hate me because i'm beautiful

yes, and I hate thinking about it

Nobody that knows me!!

oh yeah! but they dont know the secrets i hold inside either. on the outside im all put together, but my head is a mess.

No way. People don't give me the chance in the first place!!!
