Hi Jennifer, I personally think this is one of the best videos you have ever made. It really touched my heart.I usually don’t allow my daughter to watch you tube but I think I’m going to make her watch this video. And the reason is that she is 9 and she was bullied at school and she is beautiful, worthy little girl so hearing this words from an author of her favorite book would be helpful. Thank you

Thank you so much for making this inspiring video, Jennifer!! I'm a 22-year-old Master's degree student studying violin performance, and this is something I have struggled with my whole life, both personally and professionally. This is such good advice that all my fellow students should listen to! 1) Know yourself 2) Observe the situation from an objective distance 3) Don't let other people's limited perceptions define you. Next time my mind travels to the "dark side," I will remember and try to heed your advice. 🙂

I think having to deal with adversity from other humans is just part of the human condition. I am a redhead with blue eyes and freckles. I got teased a lot in school. I also consider myself a highly sensitive person. The experiences of being picked on made me stronger. At my 20th high school class reunion, the girls that picked on me actually came up to me and apologized for their bad behavior. One of the girls said that they were always intimidated by me because I seemed unfazed by the things they said. She also said that I would always just observe them from a distance, and so they thought that I was very wise. That certainly was an amazing night for me! You are absolutely right, Jennifer, we need to not care what others think.

Thank you for the encouragement to those of us who haven't quite "made it" in our professional goals. That's me! Still working on it. I have a doula business which keeps a nice secondary income for our family, but I definitely see the potential to expand it. But simultaneously SO HAPPY with the life I have. I love my role as a stay at home mom, with my side hustle. I know there are people from my younger years who must think I haven't "succeeded" as I am not currently in the career I went to University for. When I find myself thinking about it or feeling bad about it, I ask myself, "Do I actually WANT that career?" The answer is no, not anymore. That is why I quit in the first place! So why would I be trying to impress people with a lifestyle choice that DOESN'T make me happy, when the alternative is to live a life I LOVE with the POTENTIAL of some people I haven't talked to in 10 years MAYBE occasionally thinking, "wow, she isn't doing what she went to University for!"? Okay. Haha! I'll take the life I love any day.

Jennifer, I needed this so much today as this has been a stressful time with piano recital season and the holidays coming up. I've been second guessing myself, but your commentary on self-confidence was EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you so much! By the way, I had a situation yesterday that was a little uncomfortable. In short, it was a situation where I could either get bent out of shape or just let it go. (The uncomfortable part was that it was in a public setting.) But, I remembered the video where you said "none of these things move me." So I just kept telling myself that. (It definitely made the situation bearable.) All that to say, your videos are so important! You are doing a wonderful job with your channel; and the message you give on your platform is so very much needed.

But nonetheless, extremely painful at the time. This particular boy called me "zipper" and his friends would join in. I wish that I'd had your mindset back then, but I didn't and it was a really difficult time in my life.

Thanksgiving is almost here and I love entertaining. I'm the black sheep of the family in a very dysfunctional family system. We moved to a new area a year and a half ago, but I haven't found our neighbors very friendly--I'm sure it's nothing personal. Most people are busy with their own lives. My best friend who I see only a few times a year due to distace said I'm just "too nice." I tend to have good friends at work, but I wish I knew some ladies like Jennifer or the ones who belong to this community as I think my values may be better aligned within this group of women. Sometimes I wish we could meet somehow. Many thanks to you, Jennifer for such an encouraging talk.

Hi Jennifer! What you share today is invaluable! Yes, knowing oneself and staying true to one’s values is indeed a superpower! But it’s a superpower few people have, sadly. I admire you for having had that strong sense of self from a young age, for having chosen to stay true to yourself, wisely sidestepping obstacles instead of fighting them, and quietly pursuing your own goals! Look at what you have accomplished this way! 🤩 I was fighting tears as I was listening to you, because that strong self-confidence has been eluding me most of my life. Fortunately, there were a few important moments in my life where I made decisions that were against the will of the people closest to me, but I persisted nonetheless on the path I had chosen, and to this day, I’m grateful that I did! Self-confidence stems from a deep knowledge of oneself, like you beautifully explained, and also from an unwavering love of oneself. Not a love that makes us selfish people, but a welcoming and compassionate love for oneself. That is something I’m still struggling with, even at 67! But I’m working on it, and an inspiring video like yours, today, is a tremendous encouragement to go on! Thank you! ❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have many creative interests, but one thing that tends to hold me back from sharing is the idea that “other people do it better than me”. But your words ring true and encourage me that there is room for me, too, at the table. I enjoy the nuances of a variety of perspectives on the same thing, like you mentioned your book along side Inez’s book. Someone like me would love reading both, and savor the uniqueness of each. (Speaking of, I’ve read a bunch of French-inspired books, and I’ve enjoyed them all!) But it’s difficult for me to apply that same principle to myself. Thank you for the encouragement. ❤

Wanting to convince others you’re right is a left-brain-dominant thing!

You are so right. I needed to hear this! My mother was hearing impaired. She had specific people she wanted me to be friends with when I was 9. She tried to force me to be friends with them, not respecting the fact that we didn’t “get” each other. I tried and tried in order to please my mom, but the differences were too great. I suggested some other people along the way , but my mom rejected them. These so called “ friends” quickly became enemies because my mom was behind me, desperately trying to force a friendship that wasn’t going to happen. If my mom only would have let me accept the differences and move on, things would have been fine. Instead, my mom isolated me from the world and tried to force the issue. It became worse than that. Those kids became bullies, told me I was crazy, and those kids damaged my reputation and even turned my family against me. My self confidence and my spirit were broken. My mom never got it. Now, as an adult, I don’t speak to my family because I have decided I am better than this. I have moved on and don’t speak to my family at all.

There was a boy in middle school who was considered a ‘cool kid’ and I was a chorus geek so he would constantly pick on me and my appearance. It was humiliating because I had a small crush on him, as did many girls, and the other girls found it hilarious when he would put me down. Come to find out, he always had a thing for me but never told anyone or wanted anyone to know. Boys are funny.

The sad thing is, that boy from your school days probably doesn't even think of the teasing. It's sad because many people don't move ahead/beyond teasing, and it can affect them years after. But for the person who inflicted the pain, it's so often easy and inconsequential to them. I think we need to remember that words and actions can't be unsaid or undone, but the impact may last longer than you even remember a person.

I have always dressed differently from others, and never with the trend. I am who I am.

I just had to comment on this! In 8th grade I had a boy do the SAME thing to me about my chest size. And being self conscious I started wearing lined bras. He took it even further then and he would follow me around and drop Kleenex behind me and tease that I stuffed my bra. But let me tell you, I did not let it bother me further. And after a few years I learned it didn't matter my size there were plenty of people who didn't care about my chest size and liked me for me. I also think this us when we grew my tough shell. I really don't care what people of me anymore. I just try to live my life and ve happy!

I think it's a very common phenomena with certain 8th grade boys. Oh dear!

On the subject of style and trends and our female body. One of the things I absolutely love about pre 1920 style, is that women had the body that they had, and they strategically and specifically utilized paddings and structure under and inside their clothing! How genius is that!? Need voluptuous hips? Strap on this padding, want a thinner waist? Let's use the stitching and fabric cut and lines to create an optical illusion. And for those that might say " that's false advertising" .... My dear, everything can be called "false advertising" do you color your grays or lighten your hair? Bleach your teeth? Braces? Spanks? Extensions?
