I have often wondered if there is a "victim mindset" that inspires nasty comments. if you are hiding things away you have already exposed your vulnerability and it is recognized and exploited by the nasty elements in society. In other words, your view of yourself will affect the way that others look at you. In all of these posts there are many examples of cd ers who just stand tall and get on with it. Tough to do but it pays off. I'm sure that many of you have watched "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". In that film one of the TV characters is very tough and takes no nonsense from others and in return gets to be treated with some respect. I'm not advocating that we all get tough and go on the offensive, but I would be interested in others' opinions on this.
