Another book title that might fit the current age could be: "When I Want Your Opinion, I'll Tell You What It Is!" I grew up in Haight Ashbury playing rock on LSD. Alcoholic Lounges in Las Vegas. Avant-garde jazz in Europe. I gave up the idea that anybody would like ME or what I did long ago. Nobody plays jazz and tries to make a living if they care what people think. I was ahead of my time; not everyone can be so lucky.
thank you for the timely reminder that others' opinions of ourselves have nothing to do with who we really are! Things are a bit crazy out there these days so this message is even more meaningful today!
I don't remember it being this crazy ever before. It might have been and I just don't remember....but all I can say is we really have to protect our sense of who we really are!
me neither Krysta! It just seems that anything goes & boundaries have vanished! The political scenario was never as bad as it is now as well! There were some bad actors but nothing like we are seeing today.

Good for you! Yes, it can be a difficult thing to learn, that's for sure!
My understanding is that title comes from an AA quote. Very helpful
It does sound like something from AA...and so useful!
perfect timing. Thank you for this. It made a difference.
Thanks for reading and for letting me know it was helpful. I appreciate knowing that!

We just have to hold the faith and know that Diviner Mother knows what she's doing in allowing things to unfold this way......sigh.
Lovely post and timely reminder 🙂
