thick skin
3 years ago
pretty comfortable in my own skin. but, here’s the rub. call me asshole, i’m likely to believe you know something about me that makes you right. treat me like shit, i’ll assume it’s me and not you. act pissy, i’ll figure it’s something i did. i’m generally okay in the self-esteem department- although the preceeding entry doesn’t really jive with that. i think a lot of it has to do with the way may parents behaved when i was a child- i still haven’t really learned to stand up for myself. unless i’m seething. although i generally reserve that for very, very serious situations.
