Self Improvement

[wishfulthinking]

Is there something about yourself that you think needs work [not of the plastic kind ]?

I would like to be able to sell myself better - a 'product' mentality, I know!

I prefer to let people realise how wonderful I am rather than telling them, and if they never figure it out, that's thier problem. So I would like to chuck modesty out of the window and when someone says I did something great, or really apreciated my help or simply compliments me, I could just say a simple 'thanks!'

What about you? [and by the way, I'm wonderful ]

BTW WT, I like your stories and that AV.

Thanks!

Oh, yeah.

I'd LOVE to shed my (okay, don't laugh) body modesty. It's the horrid legacy of my Catholic upbringing. I hate, Hate, HATE it.

While I am more comfortable in my skin now than ever before in my life (even though I'm nowhere near as svelte), there's still that nagging "How do I look?" voice when naked. The difference now, of course, is that I don't let it stop me!

I wish I could shed my fear and distrust of people when I feel power is involved.

One on one and in small social groups I'm fine. The second power is involved, I get snarly and defensive.

It has to do with my sense of self. Me is the only thing I've had most of my life so when I feel my sense of self is at risk, my back goes up, even if it shouldn't.

I wish so much, that I had a thicker skin........that I didn't hurt (emotionally) so easily or so quickly.

I guess I'm wishing I didn't 'feel' so much. Only, even I know that if you shut down so you don't experience the bad feelings, you will also inevitably lose out on the good ones. The important ones.

Moral: Life can't be all good. Got to experience the bad, so that the good feels really good.

So I guess, for now, I will just have to continue feeling and hurting, so that I can feel joy as well.

To do more for myself and less for everyone else sometimes.

I wish I could shed some of the mental problems that keep me from every doing or becoming what I want.

p.s. Impressive, if your outer you is one fifth as sexy, sweet and intelligent as your inner you, you have noth a thing to be worried about.

Hmm... how long have you got?
Just to scratch the surface, I'd like to wake up one morning and not be so lazy. Mentally and physically. I can stop being lazy for a few months.... then I get tired of it and backslide.

I also need to work on reading more "literature" and less "trash"; i.e., becoming more educated.

I'd like to be less critical of myself, and believe in myself more.
