[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit to becoming quite anxious when people come by, but I have to remember that people love me for me and are not looking at the toys or tiny dining room![/quote]

I don't like my kitchen.  So, when people come over the first time, I always think about it.  I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that thinks this or that about her own house.[/quote]

I am the PP you are quoting.

I was insecure about this growing up too, and most of friends had a lot of money and huge houses and I was ALWAYS embarrassed!

I actually have had to consciously stop apologizing for my little house and just be grateful and proud.  It makes others so uncomfortable when I am uncomfortable![/quote]

I grew up in one of the wealthiest areas in the DC region.  We rented a really small dumpy house just so we could go to the BEST public schools the region had to offer.  I never felt embarrassed, I just thought it really cool to have friends with homes so big that their parents had no clue we were boozing it up in the basement.  I still keep in touch with many of my HS friends who mostly went onto good schools and have all the privledges in life that comes with having wealthy parents.  They come to my modest home and we all have a good time.  I think most posters here have some personal problems that are manufactured internally.  I do not feel this level of insecurity about my present small home.  Our house is not grand, but I keep it clean and take care of it, so I have a lot of pride in all of the things we have worked hard for in life.[/quote]

What does "manufactured internally" mean?[/quote]
