like myself more

- Need to stop giving a fuck about what other people think about me.
Need to stop thinking that the whole world is looking at me. They have better things to do! Most of them wont even remember talking to me later in the day and even if they do, who the fuck cares! This should not stop me from expressing myself and my personality.

- Need to stop overanalyzing myself and other people.

- Need to focus on improving myself by practicing talking to people.

- Need to accept my weaknesses and work on them and not let them be a hindrance in improving myself.

The thing is, sometimes i’ve come across people that obviously have really good points but just refuse to see them, and are always on downers about themselves, and it is really annoying, I go from trying to help them to just being frustrated. Trouble is, that is exactly what I am like myself! so basically i’m just annoying myself!
The old saying goes “no one’s perfect” and it’s so true. I have met many people that have really obvious faults and don’t care, they just accept it and have an air of self respect about them (not smugness or self righteouseness) that makes them really great to be around. So it’s fine to have faults, i’m a much happier person when I relax my own self imposed boundaries and expectations.

I am just so tired of always feeling like the loser in any group, the quiet one, the shy one, the boring one, etc. I’m sick of it. I want to have a backbone, be able to say what I feel and not care if someone doesn’t agree. I’m always thinking, “wow, that person really is an amazing person, wow, that person knows who she is and isn’t afraid to show it. Why can’t I be like that? But that is my goal, to become that person who is true to the person she is.

i really just noticed this recently. before, when i would sense that someone didn’t think a lot of me or made fun of me for some reason i would start to feel all nervous and uncomfortable. but now, if someone has something against me for no reason, it just annoys me and makes me think less of them instead of myself. i’ve realized that lots of people do like me,i’m a cool person and i don’t ahve to feel like crap just because a few people are idiots to me. so i pay less time worrying about them and more time focused on the people that do care about me and appreciate how cool i am :)

ok, so i found this site while surfing in self pity..intersting stuff. Always good to see other people also go through similar shit…

I’m quite happy with myself now…

It’s not like I just had a burst of confidence but I feel a bit better about myself. This has a lot to do with being kinder and more forgiving towards myself and also taking up new challenges. Confronting myself with things I don’t like so much made me gain a bit more self-respect. It’s a long way to go however.

This sort of happens while you’re doing other things. Best to notice after-the-fact.

i used affirmations and worked in the book artists way. it really helped. the affirmations were powerful. they seem dumb at first but they really have power.

I’m a competitive person, and it’s hard to like myself when I don’t feel like I’m good at anything. I know I must be good at something, it’s just that there are always people who do it better—people who are more social, confident, athletic, and I just have a hard time appreciating me for what I can do.
