I'm kind of curious about this message. It sounds as if you're experience has been that people are unwilling to accept you dispite all your efforts, yet you still put forth the effort to write in to the list. I'm just wondering if you feel that we will not be willing to accept you; as far as I can tell, there's nothing "unacceptable" about your message, and I see no reason (both for myself and for anyone else) to not accept what you have to offer. I often feel that people don't accept what I have to say and, rather than ask people about it or try to figure out what's not working in my life, I go silent and withdraw away from people (something which doesn't do me or anyone else much good). I really appreciate your honesty, because it makes me feel that I can do the same and that, if I and everyone can accept you, then perhaps people just might accept me as well. :-) Kep up the good work, and don't stop progressing (which, in my humble oppinion, you are).
PS: Sorry for the spelling mistakes and such; I hope you all can accept this for what it is. :-)
unfortunately the problem I'm confronting isn't shyness, or my unwillingness or inability to face people, but their insistent determination not to accept me in spite of any and all effort. Since I see no way that the world will change or can be changed it doesn't seem that progress is really a possibility. So to answer your question, no.

It sounds, from this message, that you are perhaps unaccepting of others, and further still that you may be unaccepting of the fact that people may be willing...
