[quote=Anonymous]As someone who was labeled this way ... Part of it is that I was extremely sensitive as a kid, and was pushed very hard to the point of punishment, to not be. Instead of just working around my sensitivities, which in many cases, could have been done. The other part, is that I just had a different personality than the rest of my family. I was born dramatic and a performer. And I was born into a family of wallflowers. The family motto was "Never attract any attention. Any attention you attract is bad attention." So if I wanted to say something funny at a family gathering and everyone laughed, my parents yanked me out of the room, yelled at me, spanked me, and punished me more when I got home. I was labeled the difficult child. But really, I was just born into the wrong family. If I didn't look so much like everyone I'd wonder if I was adopted.[/quote]
