Interesting. How are 'normal' people offended by her hardship?

OIC. Our insecurities stem from all sorts of causes, one of which is the high standards we demand of ourselves. Curse of many gay men really. I am learning these days to celebrate the little achievements in life. It may be a small deal. If it affirms the little gifts and talents we have, why not.
