criticism"Fear of Disapproval This fear may sound insignificant, but believe me, for many people it is excruciating. The fear of disapproval is much deeper than cringing if someone goes 'Tsk-tsk' over something you've said or done. It is interwoven with our basic sense of self-worth. If we allow other people's approval or disapproval to define us, we set ourselves up to believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with us whenever we incur displeasure." (p. 225) bullying"Whatever kind of anger you portray, you'll realize that the person you have seen as powerful and in charge is really something of an emotional coward--that's what bullying is all about. Confident, secure people don't need to push others around to get what they want or to prove how strong they are." (p. 230) |
