accept my weaknesses

I’m not big on weaknesses. I don’t like people seeing me as weak.
Honestly, I used to be a lot worse. I refused to allow myself to cry infront of others, for fear that they would view me as weak. Strength was the only thing I thought I had going for me, I couldn’t ruin it by allowing people to see that I do indeed have weaknesses.
But, I am better then I was. I can cry infront of others, although I am quite reluctant to do so. I mostly try to mask my weaknesses, though, by really pushing my strengths. If someone brings up a weakness of mine, I try my best to change the subject to something I am very strong in. I’m not sure if that is a good thing to do or not, though.
Accepting myself, weaknesses and all will be a big task, though. I’m taking it one step at a time, each step getting me closer to self-improvement and self-acceptance.
