Whether we realize it or not, everyday we receive subtle messages from places like social circles, ad companies, and even business moguls telling us that we're not enough.

Everyone knows what it's like to have their buttons pushed. When people say or do things that can trigger you to respond with contempt, it can be frustrating and sometimes embarrassing.
