Anytime I feel small or like I’m lesser than I really am I always remember there’s someone who is smaller and more insignificant than I am, very unfortunate for them. Usually it feels like I can’t do much against anything when this happens. Anything can make this happen to be honest.

I think thinking about the state of the world and how much needs to change in order for it to continue to run makes me feel small.

Everytime I am in the outdoors I am amazed by nature and gods creations. This makes me feel very insignificant. The world is so big and there is so many amazing things out there.

Being a younger siblings there are many times I have felt small. When it comes to arguments where to sit in a vehicle has been a big one. Older siblings have seniority but my younger sister gets favored so getting a choice never really happened growing up.

As a small child, not having much say in things and having to be the third son in a line of four, with the two older brothers having much more sway in things.

Also when hiking/driving up into the hills and mountains and then looking out and seeing just how vast even our small valley is compared to little me.

I agree with them both, I am a middle child.

A time I’ve felt small and significant was when I first started working at my job. I felt like I couldn’t really do anything and my help wasn’t exactly needed. It has improved since then and I’m on the upper end of the pecking order now and don’t feel as small but I used to.

Anthony

Yeah, even with relatively simple jobs one feels small when one doesn't know how to do.

Sammy

4/7/2021 12:19:03 pm

I felt that way with my job especially since I was so young when I started.

When I moved to a small town and I’ve never been to one until I moved and I felt very insignificant and small when I first moved to a small town.

The time I went to Seattle and there were way more people then I was expecting. I felt overwhelmed and felt paranoid most of the time. But the trip was still fun and was a learning curve for me.

When I lived in Gordon Nebraska I felt small and insignificant. It felt like I was alone. It was right after we moved from burley ID and I had good friends there. I felt that way because I thought I had no control of where and when Dad would randomly have us move.

Gage Bill

I didn’t really know anyone. I just felt left out

I felt small when I went to San Francisco. It was such a big city with so many people.

When my older siblings are discussing a topic that they believe I am not smart enough to understand. This makes me feel smaller and not important.

Emma

That’s how I felt when my mom and dad would talk to my brother and tell me I wouldn’t understand.

A time I felt really small was at the airport. I’m already a shorty so being around a lot of people there was overwhelming. There is also just lots of big security guys everywhere through the airport.

Emma

That’s a great example!

One specific time I think of when I felt small and insignificant, was when I was at the odd age of 15-17 and had to sit at the “kids table” because I still wasn’t old enough to sit at the adult table. It always made me feel awful to go to family dinners because I did not want to sit with the little kids. I felt that way because I wanted to be with the adults but instead I was treated as a little kid.
