[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 542594, member: 14557"] This is something I too wonder. My difficult child admits his worst screw ups, but with smaller stuff he often takes an attitude that others should approve him in a way he is, and if not, he just doesn't care. I do think it is mostly bravado and in reality he is more confused why he is so detested by his peers. But I'm sure he also does feel he is unjustly rejected and is angry about that. But how much is which, that I can't say. I'm sure there are some people who always feel it really is so, that others are treating them unjustly, but I do think more commonly it is just a way to try to protect yourself. It has to be awful to be rejected from every direction. And it is likely easier to be angry than try to admit a reason being in yourself and try to change. And especially so, if you don't quite know what you are doing wrong (which is probably a case with my difficult child.) [/QUOTE]
