Have you been treated as stupid and naive by other people? I feel like your self-esteem is low and you're unusually sensitive regarding the stupid and naive ideas others may have of you.Originally Posted by RosieD
Try and revisit these fears or concepts of stupid and naive and how you react to these concepts with the people closest to you. Saying that you're not against drug use but concerned about his safety is a little far-reaching and you're not fooling anyone. Try to work on any self-esteem issues you may have and if you find yourself attempting to control someone, step back for a little while and ask yourself whether it's worth it even though you may be able to exert your influence. It may not always be the right thing to do.
