I never worked with myself in that way at all. I worked at understanding why other people treated me the way they did.

1. They were jealous.

2. I didn't speak to people, and they interpreted that as looking down my nose at them.

3. I said the kind of things that reflected badly on them (I wasn't wrong in what I said).

4. I was stupid in that I didn't realize until my late 60s that people were self-interested and when they took things from me and told me what to do, it wasn't for my good, it was for their good. I had, in error, believed Christian teachings.

5. And more.

My question was always: Why are people treating me this way?

I now know. :)
