onlydog4friendI would like someone like me
and I really have no desire to change who I am but at some level I don’t know how to accept myself. It all sounds so convuluted. I am an introvert (INFP on Meir’s Briggs ) and I don’t want to be an extravert. I like peace and quiet ( need it, in fact!) and would never want to be the life of the party. I don’t even like parties!!
The thing is that I don’t give myself credit for any of the things I have done ( have two Master’s Degrees amongst other things) or for the person I am. If other people had done some of the things I have done I would be congratulating them but I don’t know how to congratulate myself or feel good about the accomplishments I’ve made. Maybe I want to really learn how to love me instead of just accept myself. What’s the difference? Maybe I want to learn how to “celebrate” the person I am instead of focusing on my flaws. The other interesting part of this is that one of my Masters’ is in counseling, so I possess the head knowledge to intellectualize my dilemma but I don’t seem to be able to convert the head knowledge into the heart knowledge. 5 years ago
