How does one get over one's self?
Dearest children,
In your life you're going to have to make some decisions on the balance of being what you think is "right" and also doing the "right thing". Once you take your first psych class - and BTW - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - you'll realize that most humans at their core are not sympathetic or empathetic to your logic, reasoning, or intent. They only see their own plight and how it effects them. This will lead you to a battle of wills - a battle that almost always has no winner.
My advice is to try to save your soul while acquiescing as much as possible. Strength often comes from submission and the testament to your own inner strength. Some of the happiest most effective leaders serve others as opposed to themselves. I would search that path.
