Eleanor Roosevelt once said, " no one has the right to make you feel inferior without your consent". Words to live by.....

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing!

[@gaylesmith2987]

I love this woman. There’s no long preamble to sit through...She gets right to the point and delivers excellent, spot-on advice.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you Gayle! God Bless!

[@melstyle7619]

I grew up with the mother that always criticized us. I believe this is why I grew up thin skinned and yes it makes you hold back from conversations or of anything that might put yourself out there for criticism. This video really helped me.

[@Lady_V_C]

Same here, this came at just the right time as I just visited my mother and I let her affect me, I feel it’s most challenging when loved ones are extremely critical...

[@MesmerizingEyesXOXO]

My mother is the same way.

[@Cin3DyUEFNdeveloper]

I have also. Not only mother, but also aunt and grandma and the neighbors of those people. All narcissists or little IQ .. This woman on the video is so great. Am now 41 yrs and this what I see here on all the videos I already knew that, only because of the negative hassle of all people in my life, you have forgotten all this. I learned everything on the street with friends and strangers. And I saw for myself what is right and wrong. but you don't get much confidence from it. I didn't understand this either. Was all frustrating.

[@cynthiaward5197]

My mother did the same thing I will not tolerate it anymore.

I love how you take your time and speak fluently.

Tracy, this is your best to date! IDK what we need to do to get you more followers, women/girls/people need to hear these things early.

Thank you Kelli! God Bless!

Right off the bat she said the most important thing. EXPECT IT.

[@heatherasquith-hull6785]

Please can you do a vlog on social rejection and also how to be comfortable in social situations. Thanks Heather

[@juliedefee567]

I hope that you can find some therapeutic healing. It's obvious that you already are convinced that you do not deserve to be included, treated with respect and much needed empathy. Typically, once we are of the mindset that we are undesirable and undeserving, we tend to play the part. We give random strangers so much power in confirming false beliefs self perceptions. These seemingly insensitive strangers obviously we're treated with less than healthy nurturing care and training. Different people do different things to soothe themselves and avoid pondering their own pain. Sadly, they don't even know the impact their cruelty is having on a given individual. Always remember, hurting people hurt people. Desperate people do desperate things. Try to view these less than informed individuals with compassion and forgiveness. It's not even about you. It's about their own emotional and mental Madness. Somewhere along the line you got the message that you deserve abuse and neglect. That is a false belief. I hope you will reach out to find some healthy support. you will have a powerful story to share with others on how to overcome the prison of our own making. You deserve all good things and a happy life, which you will have if you strive for healthy support. Best wishes and much love to you. Sometimes we live in Chains and we don't even know we have the key. ❤❤❤

[@sayantanighosh4762]

I used to think being "thick skinned" is an abusive term until I watched this video. It's a power, an achievement, truly. And, please do an in depth video on social rejection.

[@dolsiemercado3140]

Yes getting angry is a choice. The trick is control that emotion. Use the energy of that anger to clear your name/take control of the situation effectively. That is personal. Just do not allow it to consume you negativity. Forgive but do not forget and keep your integrity intact.

[@perfectpadfoot8297]

Incredible content Tracy! I'm 16 and this video of yours in particular helped me a lot through my troubles with accepting criticism from my peers and teachers. Thanks a lot Xx

Ambition means tying your well being to the opinions of others.... Sanity means tying it to your actions...... The best thing I've heard in a very long time.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you!

[@dianebanks6386]

Ironically I was working with a young girl yesterday at my job. She was upset because another young girl, who was a stranger to her, was mocking the way she was saying something. I told the young girl, "The girl is in foster care. She clearly hasn't had a great background. You don't know her and will probably never see her again. Don't let it get to you." I know older people need to hear this as well. But most of the things we get upset over only affect us. The person we're upset with doesn't care or even realize it. And as you said, clearly they have their own issues to begin with.

[@dianebanks6386]

@@enchanteddryad6500 Oh good Lord, quit getting offended so easily. My point was the poor girl probably had a rough life and needed some understanding. The girl I knew was upset at the girl mocking her so I was trying to get her to look at it from a different perspective. That the girl probably didn't have the best life so not to take her behavior personally. Use your efforts for something more positive than trolling comments & being offended.

[@vernaharris4700]

Love this video. Most critics are not leading happy, productive lives or they won't have time to be criticizing others.

[@귀여워고양이-e7i]

You literally have every single video for all kinds of things. I am binge watching your vidoes since yesterday. You got me with how to be a classy lady. I love it! Keep up the good work💕😘

[@TracyHensel]

I LOVE it! Thank you for sharing!

[@marleymae6746]

Thank You for this video. The young people today not only deal with bullies on the school yard, but then on the internet. There has never been a time where teaching the skill of developing thick skin is needed. Not just children but us adults. Positive wisdom is a different thing. A true wise person loves positive criticism. Who wants a yes, man on their team. Tracy you are teaching true life skills young and old can actually use. So many sensitive souls who have wonderful dreams could change the world with their dreams. And as we can’t change the haters behavior our only option is to change our own. Love the turtle shell idea. Think I will use this with my eight year old grandson who loves turtles to deal with bullies!

[@HU-yc1uq]

Your videos are spot on and no fluff! Thank you for not wasting viewers’ time. Every minute is worthwhile!

[@beautifulme261]

Spot on! Biggest lesson, do not respond to negativity! One of my faults is to respond because I have taken something personal. Good lesson! 🙏🏻 Thank you

[@jacquelinecad.01]

Learn to recognize who needs an explanation, who needs a simple answer and who needs nothing at all. Love your videos, they’re so helpful.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you!

[@shannonturney9045]

Wise words from Tracy again!! We needed someone to say that to us, didn't we? :) Thank You for making us self reflect and not be over sensitive about non- constructive criticism!!

[@selina6651]

You hear a lot of these things individually more than once in your life, but I like how the details around each, altogether deliver greater clarity. I hope that I can get better at this.

I truly appreciate the time you took to create this video. It was all amazing advise. Idk what Im doing with the these kinda videos as I know that I don't have it in me to really do what it is I desire, but I wanted to take the time out to say thank you for being selfless and taking your time to help people. The world needs more people like you.

[@Blessmi4eva]

WOOOOOOW! Watching your videos, it's like you are reading my mind and answering ALLL my questions. I do not need to turn to any one for validation or clarification. Seriously Ms Tracy, where have you been all my life???

[@erikaann3614]

Oh this is a great video! I believe this may be my favorite so far. So important to apply this in my life at this moment. And for all ladies, young and old, to consider this. We need to lift each other up! And realize we ALL have room to be be better. We can take on a bit of critiquing. It’s like going an extra mile on the treadmill. Or swimming 2 more laps. Crunch time baby!

I think this may literally be your best video yet! You say it like it is Trace! I wish I’d seen this video 10 years ago, as I was raised by parents with limited mindsets to say the least. At 36 I’m learning, growing, and building confidence, and your content has helped me so much. A tear came to my eye when you remind us that someone else looks up to us 💕🌺💋

You DO have it all! Ms. Hensel, thank you for yet another brilliant video, I wish my mother taught me this a long time ago. Thank you for being such a classy role model for us all. Love from Bulgaria :)

[@sharlyt3557]

Thx for another vid Mrs. Hensel👍🏻. Im glad im not the only one who pretends & aspires to be someone else. I enjoyed hearing that; i even rewound the video to hear it again. But we need to stop that. We need to remember: The only person who can write my story accurately is me. So many chapters of my book are entitled “Trying to be like X-Y-Z ...” I’m burning that book and starting a whole new volume! (lol) “Being Me” is my next book & i only need 2 people’s approval, God’s and my husband’s❤️And they both picked me when I was being me. Help others; give them a blanket to stay warm but don't forget to keep your own socks on😉.

[@13bexy]

Thank you Tracy! You are my fairy godmother (this is how I refer to you to my husband when I'm watching KZbin), the knowledge you offer in these videos is so valuable 💗xxx

This video came at the perfect time- our 11 year old junior golfer had a tough time yesterday with a negative partner and the boys they were playing against bullying them.

[@Topazelee]

As usual, you are spot-on. I needed to hear this today! :) Social Rejection Series? Yes, please! :)

[@diannedugan]

Tracy, loved the content and wish I had heard something like this when I was in my teens and early twenties. Now, as a grandmother, I am trying to help my preteen granddaughters navigate a world a bit unfamiliar to me; the world of social media. These kids are blasted 24/7 with negativity. But I must tread lightly here as I do not want to become more of the problem. They are very vulnerable. I am going to give this some thought to come up with a plan, but I intend to cover all of your points-- I will just spread them out a bit and insert them where I can, with love. BTW, this video would have worked nicely with your “old” theme song. Maybe you are trying to appeal to a younger demographic--. but I so loved that calming effect that was your trademark for years! Keep up the great work Tracy and thank you so much.

[@bethshankleanderson2067]

You are definitely gifted with communication skills. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with perfection & clarity. You deserve much respect. 💞💐

Very wise words Tracy, probably the best video I’ve seen of yours. I wish I could have heard this message in my 20s and 30s, I do believe with age I’ve become much more thick skinned, one benefit of aging I guess. Looking forward to more content about this. Take care.

Tracy, that was a worthwhile video with information that everyone should learn. Even those that know the truths that you speak benefit from hearing it again. Like a friend of mine says, “It is like a gentle rain”. I take that to mean eventually it soaks into our roots and we grow from it. Thank you.

Thank you Tracy for another wonderful video. Ever since my sister introduced you to me, I’ve been hooked on all the amazing nuggets you drop...even when you’re just chatting on Instagram! Also, wanted to say thank you for sharing one of your clients post on your Insta story, she had written, “Food is a good girls drug.” I know I have issues with food but the wording of that really struck home. Ever since I read that I have been able to be so much more aware and in control of my intake. And my feelings around why I’m escaping that way. I quit drinking a Year and a half ago and am applying my same technique to food. So once again, thank you for every little bit you put out there that helps us...aka ME. ☺️🙌🏼

Another commenter mentioned her mother always criticized her and for me, something similar but not my mother but my step mother.
