I just feel that when put in certain situations when you are not appreciated or even acknowledged then that does give us the right to express ourselfs, let that person know what they are doing is not okay, but as you said the "alpha dog" knows that are being hurtful or spitefull etc.,. It's a cycle of hurt,shame, anger, and violence that I have been through and am still living with ; If you can avoid that then remove yourself if posible from there reach, don't let what they don't do or do bother you, because in the end this "alpha male" is so insecure and lonely inside that hurting people is there only way to feel anything.If they are threatened by your work because it is meaningfull and accurate,life changing then what can they do? Get you to doubt yourself and accomplishments, don't let them defeat you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
