One thing that I am trying very hard to let go of,but's it's very
difficult for me,is my fear of being labeled...I have long had a big
fear of people judging me,labeling...trying to fit me into narrow
boxes...obviously the idea of "negative"(to me) labels is what upsets
me the both...but what I tell myself is that I have no control over
people labeling me,and as Gayle told me once on here,I have to know
that I'm much more then any label that could be pinned on me...For a
fairly mild example,sometimes people think of me as a child,a
"kid"...I'm sure that I can be childlike at times,but in many ways
that's a good thing,I think...years ago my cousin's wife said to me
something like "It must be nice to remian a child."She said this after
I said that I worked part time...I think she meant that since I didn't
work full tim and support myself,I was still a child....I guess the
thing for me to remember is that there will always be people who will
try to fit me into narrow labels,and sterotypes,and categories...there
will always be people who will be judgemental and unsympathetic,and
obviously it is not just me that people do this to.Many people have a
tendancy to try to shove people into narrow labels and boxes...I guess
what most scares me is psychiatric labels,but when you think about
it,there are many ways,many,many negative words to call people,from
the most vague insult to the most specific definition...what it boils
down to is that I have no control over it,just as I can't control
people putting me into "positive" labels and boxes,that make me feel
good...All I can try to do is take every label,whether positive or
negative with a grain of salt,and recognize that above all,I,just like
everyone else on earth,is a complex,3 dimensional spiritual being in
Human form...

you could be labeled unlabelable

ever thought of making it a game and getting people to mis-label you on
purpose?
