ohhh, good blog entry, sara!
I think we're shy on having people point out our weaknesses because that usually means they're thinking badly of us, and too often that means that they're not loving us anymore because they see we are not worthy of love (like that should come as a shock!). And in our gut, we feel that we can only be loved if we're seen as perfect.

...BTW, it IS Sara, isn't it? Whatever...
