I have often been told that I am quite sheltered and live in a bit of a "bubble".
In all honesty I like my bubble - it's cozy and safe.
Well here's the thing I have noticed about people's perspectives. Because they have experienced some different aspects of life than I have, they feel everyone should experience these aspects.
but these experiences have not always or even often been positive for my peers - however they just don't like my being on the other side of the proverbial fence so to speak.
And I am kinda ok with having been sheltered from certain experiences and associated pains.
What I find unusual is if my bubble isn't hurting anyone, and it costs you nothing to support me in it, so why are some people so adamant about challenging me in it? It is my choice, and it's a choice I make rationally, without any impairment or infirmament to cloud my judgement.
So next time you see my bubble, maybe just give it a polish instead of trying to shatter it with a kick.

Who's trying to burst your bubble! Let me at em!
I dunno, I think that the people who view you as having had a sheltered existence probably don't understand that everyone - yes, even you - can experience adversity in life. Just because others don't necessarily know the difficulties you've faced doesn't mean you've lived a uniquely sheltered life, it just means your bubble is different from theirs.
I concur with ghanima. We can't all be experts in everything, and experience all possible situations. We each live the lives before us. We each experience the world differently depending on where we go, who we meet and how we react.
Isn't the expression "misery loves company" somehow applicable here? :)
I like your bubble. It amuses me.
And hey... bubbles are pretty. People like watching them float around and then they pop, it's sort of sad.
It's not like we're talking about cherries...
