I've been taking stock of my life lately and I've noticed a particularly disturbing pattern. I have fostered an unhealthy level of insecurity in a significant number of people in my life. I'm not exactly sure what it is that I do to cause this but it can be seen in the men I have dated, family members, friends, students I've had...
Ordinarily I would brush off someone else's insecurity as a problem they need to deal with but when a pattern is this large, you can't help but take notice. I'm not sure if it is my forceful nature, my obvious independence, my ambitious style, my academic success....who knows.
Not real comforting to think that just by living your own life, other people feel like shit about theirs.
