Comments like:
“That is what you are wearing?”
And
“What are you selling?”
Make a self-conscious person,
Always wondering if their outfits are appropriate
Comments like:
“You talk too much,”
And
“You can never be quiet, can you?”
Make a quiet person,
Never saying what they are thinking
Comments like:
“Why are you stressed, at your age I was never stressed”
And
“You are fine, you should not be crying,”
Make a numb person,
Always repressing their emotions so no one sees them
Comments like:
“What does it matter, everyone graduates high school,”
And
“A 91? You could have gotten a 100,”
Makes a perfectionist,
Never believing that what they create is good enough.
Now imagine if all of these comments,
were to be said to one person.
That would make a very
nervous, shy, apathetic, overachieving person.
