Hi to all, and thanks so much for the reply that i got from you all. Well, as you said Lindsay, there are times when my husband says good about me too….but now i’ve got habitual of hearing bad things about me…i just cannot digest when i hear something good about me….i am more happy when i hear bad about me, rather than something good….whenever he has something good to say about me, i always ask him to keep mum, as it is beyond my tolerance limit…well, i may be behaving a bit weird, but this is how i’ve become in past few years…regarding my father, he never criticizes me….but yeah, only when i am wrong, and that too in a positive way….when i am totally down, i start hating myself, my life….but when i think with a cool mind, i feel that whatever people around me are saying, is just because they love me, respect me, care for me. I know, and very well understand this fact….but trouble is, i am feeling very lo and lonely these days….i dont have friends with whom i can talk, share my every bit of things…those i had, are happily married and settled in their own life, and dont want to trouble them. So, i went through this site, and came up with an idea to share my frustration here….it was a bit relaxing though, like talking to anyone….thanks for all your suggestions, which i appreciate a lot…
