Bravery-Courage My Point of views of Disney Pins
HiddenMickeys said:
This is yet another wonderful, thoughtful thread started by you. So big thanks and hugs for making us take a little time to remember and focus on the stuff that really matters, even though a lot of us may be in the midst of things that are comparatively small (like pin mania and the pros and cons of dsf releases :sigh: ).

This thread also made me think of my son. He is different and reacts to things differently, and for some that's really scary. So he got kicked out of his public school and put into a private, therapeutic school where he can work on himself with patient teachers and make friends with kids who are facing their own battles. But he still feels different every day and every day he sees that other kids from outside his school don't accept him. Even some of the parents in the neighborhood don't accept him. It's beyond sad to see a ten year old face this kind of rejection. He's too young to understand and to feel that sense of "different is good" right now, but we're hoping he'll get there at some point. It's really amazing to find someone who has faced similar rejection but who has gotten to the top of the mountain and can be comfortable with who they are. Certainly gives me hope that one day my son will be able get to that place :)

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY MY DAYS OF A CAST MEMBER ARE COMING TO AN END. i HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE IN COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY. I SPECIALIZE IN YOUNG CHILDREN AND TEENS. THIS STORY IS ANOTHER GREAT REMINDER WHY I NEED TO GET BACK IN MY CAREER LIKE I WAS A YEAR AGO. AS A PARENT, YOU REMIND YOUR CHILD THAT THEY ARE NUMBER ONE AT WHAT THEY DO. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY FEEL, AND WHAT THEY THINK. ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THEIR TALENT IS EVEN IF THEY ARE HELPFUL USE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TO ENSURE AND VALIDATE THEIR SELF-ESTEEM. WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG THEY ARE BUILDING THEIR SELF-PERSONA AND THEY NEED THE MOST VALIDATION. RESILIENCY IS KEY AS WE PROGRESS IN LIFE. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS STORY YOU EMPOWER ME SO MUCH. I WROTE THIS IN BOLD AND ALL CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE THIS STORY MATTERS TO ME IT MAKES ME REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISS BEING A THERAPIST AND SCHOOL COUNSELOR. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANKS FOR BEING A ROYAL DPF MEMBER.

LOVE ALWAYS, prince eric
 
woo hoo! You are sexy! Of course im sexier :wiggle: love you guys, thanks for sharing....i fell in love with pins but now i like the people better. Sorry to hear you have had some poopy trading experiences,,,,usually Disney people are pretty non-judgmental. Well ill be in DL soon and we MUST meet and hug and trade and bring sexy back!
 
I got bullied from when I started primary school to when I left college, with 0 friends. I'm just myself now because why please people who dislike you on something so petty as your looks? There are so many beautiful and kind people in the world that people write off on appearance or how they talk but the loss is theirs.

Really? How pathetic do people have to be to talk crap about others? No one is perfect you know and if somebody has nothing nice to say and go out of their way to bad mouth others it just means they're really sad and unhappy with their own lives. Seriously, happy people don't do that $.it, respectable people don't do that. Here's my philosophy they don't pay your bills, they don't hold any viable importance in your life so efff them and move on. Nothing is gained from drama or from letting some miserable people get to you. If you are happy with who you are and your life is awesome who the eff cares... Brush your shoulders off bro!

I agree with you! Life is too short!
 
All I can say is bullies are stinky!!!! lol
I ve seen bullying in all kind of groups even within the LGBT groups its such a problem in humans as a whole (big sigh)
So some people don t get on or are different but there is no need to be so horrid about it RRRR
Anyhow I agree with some of this thread ignore "stupids" its a waste of time and energy...
Head high young prince hehe
 
Wow, I just have to say that this is a wonderful thread! It's never ceased to amaze me how cruel people can be just because someones different from them. I've always been an outcast all through elementary, middle, and high school. Now that I'm in college though, I think I'm finally starting to fit in a bit more :).

At first, whenever I was made fun off, I always felt like I should try to change so I'd fit in more. When I got to high school though, I finally realized that I don't have to change who I am just because of what someone thinks. I enjoyed being who I was. If someone didn't like me for who I am, then I don't need to have them in my life. I love me for who I am, and my family and friends love me for who I am. There's no one I'd rather be than me!

Dear fellow Royal Friends,

I don't think I'll ever be able to prove to you all how much I love you for accepting me for me. Are you brave enough to not care what people think of you? I know when I first started pin trading and came on here people were like who is this "Prince Eric" with his crazy comments about pins like "pins are sexy. " I remember people in person were thrown off by my comments and would refuse to trade with me and or laughed at my face because i said their pins were sexy. I remember thinking to myself "I may not be like you but at least I know who the f-c-k i am." So what I want to know when people talk about you, to your face or behind your back, feel bullied, or when they take advantage of how nice you are, Can you be brave enough to not care what people say and just be yourself? If they make you feel less than worthed remember I believe in you and being different is the best $HIT ever. Take just a second to reflect on all the things you have been through, dreams, and take this one moment to realize how valuable you are and Rejoice yourself!

Love Always, Prince Eric

I think you are truly an adorable, wonderful,joyful, sweet,kind,generous person, and we shall meet! I have to say your wonderful posts/sales threads are a joy to read, and when you first showed up on the forum and I read you called your pins sexy, well I loved it, your threads are so uplifting to me and refering to your pins as sexy,well I just loved it! and still do, it brings out the fun peppy girl out of me! and you know what!! any pin from you IS sexy! you go! go and be you! because I love who you are! and love your confidence! and anyone who bashes you because of who you are, are just jelous because you are not afraid to be who you truly are! and they are missing out! and don't deserve you! and I am missing out! I cannot wait! for the day we meet! be proud of who you are, I'm proud of you!
 
I just have to say that you seems like an amazing person, PrincEric!

We have our fair share of difficulties in our family and have been through so much. Right now its one of my daughters who are going through a really hard time. She has among other things Cerebral palsy. But its actually not that she has it that is the hard part, its that she has such a small disability that is the problem for her. Everyone is questioning her, because you cant see it right away that she has a disability, why she has her wheelchair when she can walk and why she cant ride a bike even though she is almost nine and why she cant jump rope ans so on ans so on. Her disability is not that visible but she gets really tired fast and having a hard time with her balance so she just cant do those things, and she is really tired of haveing to defend and explain her self all the time. She also have an identical twin for better or worse. She always have support from her twin but she also have an exact copy of her self that can do everything she cant. She has been so sad the last couple of months. I think she is depressed. But now finally she will get to see a conseler and will go see here ones a week for two months. I really hope she will help us get our happy girl back because it hurts my mummy heart so much to see her so sad.

With that I just want to say that your job is really important and even if you stay at Disney Im sure you help children even there by talking to them! Im happy that there are people like you that can teach children that its ok to be themselfs, whoever that might be! It doesent matter if you have disabilitys, if you are small or big, if you are straight or gay, everyone deserves to be loved and to be happy!

(Two of my best girlfriends are gay and they just had their first baby togehter. Im just so happy for them! That boy will be loved like no one before!)
 
Prince Eric....another kind and thoughtful thread....it brings a wee tear to my eye reading some of these stories and relating to some of them, people can be so cruel at times and don't realise how deep the comments can cut....the way I figure it is people who talk behind your back are cowards and not worth wasting time on.....people should be free and allowed to be who they want to be, without the worries of what people will think. Some people can be so judgemental, sometimes ignorant because they don't understand....or don't want to. Love to everyone here on DPF, nice to have such a kind community!!! Xxxxxxx
 
I don't think there is any difference with calling your pins sexy and a grown women, mom as myself acting like a giddy school girl over the first time I met Snow White. Or like my husband said, you should see you when you find a pin you have been looking for." At that point I don't care what people think. I love anything Disney and that it that.

But I admit in real life. I wish I had more self love, and didn't care as much what other think. That wasn't easy to say.
