I decided that it was pride and self-centredness, and once I realised that other people matter more than I do, I was half-way there.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-49933729765991091752011-07-09T08:56:55.872+01:002011-07-09T08:56:55.872+01:00I remember being told once that that kind of insec...I remember being told once that that kind of insecurity was actually selfishness - because you were thinking of how you felt. Instead you should think of others and then you wouldn't be so insecure.

But she told me that she never felt confident 'inside'. She also said that even into extreme old age she felt exactly the same 'inside' as she did at sixteen. BUT, to the last day of her very long life, she had a glorious smile, a very gracious manner, liked people (she could always set people she had just met at their ease), and would join in everything. I think Ann and I were the only people who ever knew about her internal feelings of insecurity. She is of course very much missed. <br />There's a lot to be said for you English gentlewomen (hope you don't think I'm being over-familiar - don't know whether to scrub this or send it).<br />Warm regards, Mike.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-27858390898935306372011-07-08T08:23:09.555+01:002011-07-08T08:23:09.555+01:00Oh.
