Yes

Self esteem appears to be a Western concep

My precious lil Chinese "parents" did not act too concerned about my :evil: self esteem :evil:

They were not physically or sexually abusive.

Just calloused, abrupt, insensitive

And that is not a violation of Child Protective Services

(But "failure to attend to a special education need" is :skull: )

:roll:



It seems that way too many precious lil "people" have :ninja: confidence not proportional to comptence :roll: :D :o



:idea:

No. No it isn't okay. The very fact that you've asked leads me to believe you already know that deep inside.

This OP has a history of asking this kind of rhetorical question. I don't know what that's about, but I'm unwilling to play this sort of game, so I will unsubscribe from the thread now.

I got a seriously offended PM.
I did not mean my post in any personal way. As I said in my reply to that PM:

"I know I don't know anybody really and I don;t ever dare to think I do so a lot of the time I resort to just talking about what has helped me because I just don't know what else to say but I know I want others to do well and be ok"

Sometimes this strategy of mine does not work out. I should have made it more clear that I was talking about myself.

I'm sorry for the confusion, definitely didn't mean offense.
