Feelingsmall.org is\nfor those of us who have felt small at some point in our lives. Some of us\nsuffer from this simply because we have low self-esteem and are highly\nsensitive. Some of us have people or circumstances that make us feel that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn’t matter\nhow big we are in life. Presidents, prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs can feel\nsmall as well. On the other hand, many people who are relatively smaller in\nstatus may not feel small at all. They are some of the most confident people in\nthe world and are successful on their own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will be exploring\nthe many reasons why we feel small and how we can get out of the rut as we go\nalong but generally speaking, we feel small because of this “small\nfilter” in our heads. The actual situations are often not the most\nimportant factor, even though they do play a part. Very often, many people may\nexperience the same situations and every one will respond differently. For\nexample, a teacher may scold the whole class and some students will end up\nfeeling small and hurt while some will respond positively and even thank the\nteacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our past, our\ntrigger points and our emotions all play a part in complicating matters so\ncoping is not always easy even if it appears to be simple to outsiders. It’s\nespecially difficult when the highly sensitive encounter bad situations or\npeople. It bugs us. It bothers us. We need to talk to somebody about it but the\npeople around us think we’re making mountains out of molehills. They think\nwe’re oversensitive and that it\u2019s nothing to talk about so instead of getting\nthe understanding and the comfort that we need, we face cold walls that make us\nfeel even smaller than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been suffering\nfor several years now and over the last several months, I became increasingly\naware that there are many people out there who are suffering like me, many of\nwhom are experiencing it in much greater intensity. I feel there is a great need\nfor us to have a community where we can learn from, comfort and encourage each\nother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This site is for everyone, regardless of your backgrounds and beliefs. As a Christian, I would often refer to Bible passages and offer to pray with and for you but you don’t have to believe in Christianity to join our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come as you are and\nreceive comfort. Then, as you receive comfort, you also comfort others. In\ndoing so, we spread the positivity and make this world a better place for those\nof us who are feeling small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I leave you with\nthis passage from the Bible that kept coming back to me repeatedly over the\nlast several months to tell me that I need to do something for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The God of All Comfort <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 Corinthians 1:3-4<\/p>\n\n\n\n [3] Praise be\nto the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, * the Father of compassion and\nthe God of all comfort, [4] who comforts us * in all our troubles, so that\nwe can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received\nfrom God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n FeelingSmall.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feelingsmall.org is for those of us who have felt small at some point in our lives.
