Hearing my 12 yr old pick Stairway to Heaven is pretty awesome.

Kid has an ear for it. He's like me and doesn't read music but can pick it up easily.

Bought him an acoustic/electric for Christmas and he hasn't stopped his desire to learn.

Love seeing the kids follow their passions.

Awesome milestone. when he does a few bars of smoke on the water you’ll have passed torch successfully. 😁

He's been playing that one for a month or two now.....it's fantastic. 😁

He's playing Hey There Delilah, Smells Like Teen Spirit and even has Thunderstruck down pretty well.......along with about anything he wants to figure out.

Couldn't be more proud to see him get after it. 😊

They don't, hence why they treat themselves like garbage or assume everyone sees them as something to be objectified.

Oof, you can disagree with me all ya' want, but I speak from experience. You don't treat yourself like trash unless you feel that way about yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't expect nor believe when others DON'T treat you that way.

I think that "treat themselves like trash" is a very subjective statement, and entirely derived by the person judging their actions.

Some people may feel that a person who has multiple partners is trashy - when to that person it's a conscious choice to enjoy their company and comes from a place of strong confidence in what they want.

Other people may enjoy a lot of junk food, and others may say that not eating clean means you don't value your body.

I do agree that if a person truly feels they have no value, then they will not expect others to value them, and they are less likely to act in ways that reflect their inherent value...

But I think one needs to be very careful when trying to assign / label another's persons actions based on a third partie's value system.

All that aside... I do not see what this trail of comments has to do with the original quote. And kind of feel Ike it's hurtful to the poster.

I wasn't talking about assigning the actions of others toward oneself. I was talking about a person literally seeing themselves as "trash" or "garbage" based on extremely low self-esteem. Those people usually do not assign negative intentions to other people, but have a rather hard time believing the genuine feelings and words of others because their own perception and self-worth is so damaged.

Also, welcome to Chit-Chat. Side rails are pretty common here.

side tails without guard rails

Oh, I am well acquainted with chit chat (not my first incarnation here). Usually there is SOME kind of relevance to the OP. I didn't see any, and wondered whether what the correlation (however small) could be, or if the quote on her post was accidental.

When I first read your response, my instant reaction was "is she talking about the OP?" because I felt like the op was sharing something very emotionally profound. I got defensive on her behalf because she has seemed nothing short of amazing, and is someone dealing with serious tar in her life, and handling it admirably (inspirationally).

If there is no correlation, that is good to know and I appreciate the clarification.
