I know how that feels...sometimes it's not really others' reactions to you in a direct way at all, but a coloration of your perception of how the world might view you by the actions of one or two close people. The feeling of not being taken seriously can be triggered if you are around, say, someone who just walks all over your speech when you are trying to talk, as if you aren't even there. I think that tends to make you think *everyone* doesn't take you seriously...even the person not listening to you probably takes you more seriously than you think...but they just like to hear themselves talk. Or if you have someone in your life who is constantly correcting you, as if the assumption is that they are your superior. Subconsciously, this can have an effect and make you think that you are being criticized by everyone, whether or not they directly express it.

*huggles you* I think you are a very intelligent, wise person and I like hearing what you have to say. Sometimes what you say makes more sense than anyone else I know.
