Litiquette V

Probably not close at all.

I'm often surprised at the difference between how I view people and how they view themselves. And, why not? We're all products of our beliefs, morality, experiences, and ego. None of which are likely to coincide between individuals. My personal self-perception is likely to be just as colored as the next person's.

It's the large shifts that occasionally leave me flummoxed. The grasping person who sees themselves as generous. The selfish who see themselves as kind. The judgmental that see themselves as loving.

I was thinking about this recently. While I don't think of myself as selfish, I do know that I'm incredibly opportunistic: I WILL accept whatever people offer me, even if societal convention says that I should decline. That said, I am generous with my time, money and - more and more frequently these days - my patience for people.

I have a friend who says that everyone is annoying. The trick is to find people whose annoying you can tolerate. I think he has a point.

I'm pretty much a giver. Self sacrificing. I do so much for others. Always thinking of them first and this and that. I'm certain that's how I'm perceived.

Fuck you, I just popped a stitch laughing at this answer.

I actually will take a moment to publicly acknowledge that I actually do think you're kind, but your post still cracked me up.

I think I'm much more selfish than others see me as. My actions scream selfless, however I have the privilege of being left alone with my thoughts. They're incredibly selfish

It's funny that this question is being asked since I was just talking about it.

I'll give my response that I also gave to that person (of which I forget the source it originally came from):
There was three men walking down a road; the man he thought he was, the man others saw him as, and the man he really was.

I highly doubt even a few people see me as I see myself, though they might see me sometimes as I see myself.

So how do you know? How do you know when you've found the right one? How do you know when it's worth pursuing? How do you know when it's all that it appears, or isn't? How do you know when you can't get enough, when enough is enough?

Is there an indicator light, a gauge, a bell that rings? How do you know?

When my emotional and physical/sexual needs are fulfilled. When I'm glad to make the effort to satisfy both my partner and myself. When I don't question my partners', or my own, intentions. When I'm always glad to see my partner but am not longing to be in her presence.

 

[Endless_Night]

Boom! Boom! Boom! That’s a deep set of questions for so early in the morning.

Hmmm. I’m going to steal part of Game’s answer. When I don't question either intention or honesty. And when they make my heart sing.

 

[Endless_Night]

It depends on how well a person knows me. Some of them are pretty close. Of course I think the real question is how well do I know myself.

(Edited because Siri thought "knows me" should be Bozeman and I never noticed)

LOLOLOLOL! I thought I was missing some weird cultural reference and went googling. Did you know there is a Bozeman, Montana? Apparently it's a good place to live.

No indicator light, gauge or bells. To me it is instinct, you know on some level at that first initial meeting there is a pull. You have to trust yourself to know when that what you feel for the person is real, as well as trust what they reveal of themselves is true. When it is the right person is it ever enough?

If we knew for sure, really knew, the divorce rate wouldn't be so high.

I am going to quote Dr. Harry Wolper portrayed by Peter O'Toole in the movie "Creator"

The Love Formula. Add up the number of times that you think about the lady each day. Subtract from the total the number of times you think about yourself each day. If the remainder is more lady, and less yourself, then it's love.

I think it's slightly different for everyone.

All I know is that when I met my husband, within one week of knowing him, I wanted to be his wife. That had never happened to me before. Every other relationship had an element of "Well, if only...<fill in the blank>... it would be perfect." I never felt that way with him. That's how I knew.
