Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D
I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

I am learning from buddhism to not allow circumstances to alter my emotions. Because happiness comes from within and not from external things. I am having some trouble though. Sometimes I am able to allow things to happen and they would normally make me scared to feel hurt and I don't feel that way anymore. The trouble I am having is, if someone close to me says something that hurts me, i take it to heart and i get sad and then i feel really depressed, the other thing that happens, is if i am feeling like i don't have enough money to take care of things i start to get really depressed. Now I am working with the law of attraction, and it works really well for me, but I would like to improve it by not allowing money stuff to get to me. Does anyone who is practicing these methods have any advice for me or a good book that I could read? Thank you (link)

Hi.
I'm Buddhist and I can understand where you are coming from. :) It's okay for you to feel like your emotions sometimes take over. It happens to me too. I sometimes feel like I have no idea what is wrong with me. Dealing with criticism is especially hard, but you should remember that anything that anyone says about you should never change what you feel about yourself. The most important thing is to be completely confident in yourself and in your self worth. As far as the law of attraction, I'd recommend reading The Secret, if you haven't already. If you have you should reread it because there are key simple steps in it that will help you through your money crisis and in other areas of your life. Anyways, I find it amazing that you sound so similar to myself. I also am having self issues at the moment, especially with confidence, so I hope I may have helped you in some way. :]
