congratulation an who doesn't love a woman with low self esteem. Just give her a couple drinks and tell her how pretty she is and BAM you're out in the parking lot heading to the back seat
Congrats on passing your tests!!! As far as you being self conscious of your self image - please allow me to ramble for a minute... There are members of my family that thought that they were better than other people because they were into politics and business. Both of my parent broke away from that thinking somewhat, but what can you do when you are brought up that way. Some of my grandparents had the effect on me to constantly want to be something more than what I am - to be smarter, stronger, wealthier than others to prove that I was better. When I was younger I would have tried to look down on you in order to try to fool myself and others into thinking that I was better than you mainly because I would have been jealous of your free spirit, openmindedness, and your acceptance of who you are. I would have thought, mistakenly, that my life was the right way, and that people who actually just lived life and tried new and different things were just searching and they were the ones lacking. I was taught that you are supposed to receive attention from excelling at things without pointing out your accomplishments rather than just sharing who and what you are. How are we supposed to know our fellow humans if we don't share who or what we are, but instead try to display what we are trying to make the world think we are? I guess what I'm trying to get at is I understand why someone would say critical things to you out of jealousy. Everyone is self conscious about themselves to a certain degree. Don't listen to anyone who says your level of self consciousness is exaggerated (I know I didn't need to say this). Please keep sharing. Sorry for the ramble, it's just been on my mind few a few days. I've got to get some sleep Edit: I forgot to make my point, I think. Yeah, like RubySoho6 said, "jealousy is an ugly beast", but I'm saying that as a person who would have felt jealous myself years ago. And this is post is more directed toward whoever is making critical statements to or about you or anyone anyone else on this forum.
lmao! I totally get where you're coming from, and I wasn't always this way. I used to live in an abyss of self hate. One day, someone who walked into my life pulled me out of that, and I haven't looked back since. I used to be one of those little shit heads that projected my hate on others, but I refuse to ever go back to that place. Maybe it would be better to just ignore it and move on, but that's not my style. Moral of the story: I will never never never never let anyone make me feel shitty about my appearance. Thanks taze.
Thanks Indy. I have an extra practice with another team tonight, then testing round 2 on Thursday. Testing week sets up our entire season!
That's outrageous You must have been a very different person back then otherwise I can not understand. I can understand others hate/dislike you for being so open about yourself and making several threads about your hobbies etc. but just because I can understand that they have that misfortune does not make it right in any way of course :daisy:
Not necessarily. Everyone is self conscious to a degree. We look in mirrors to check things out, choose our clothes, etc. That's not a negative thing at all. In fact, I believe that being self conscious can contribute to higher self esteem. Oh goodness, I was not always this person. I wasn't always happy, and I wasted a lot of my life hating how I look. It's a mental disease that infects a lot of women. We have men, women, and the media CONSTANTLY telling us we're not skinny enough (or that they're too skinny, which is equally wrong), not beautiful enough, and for goodness sake don't you dare be open sexually. Anyway, the important part is, I'm not that person anymore. I am who I am, and I look the way I look. I have zero desire to change that. I actually don't believe that it's always jealousy. Most times it's just character flaws (hey, we all have them, right?), insecurity, or a false sense of superiority.
