At 45 years of age, I know understand she was right. Gretchen knows I struggled with turning 45 this year. I told everyone, including my Grandmother. Yea. Stupid. Let’s decide to be happy. Time is racing by! :-)

Well, Rita…if I sound like a teenager maybe it’s because I hang out with kids all day…or maybe because I hang out with my college group at church. But it could be because I still FEEL like I’m a teenager at times! :D
Everyone struggles with self-doubt at times. It isn’t limited to teenagers. I think that often so many people get busy with their lives and just figure “this is the way things are” and there’s no time or room for examining themselves.
However, there are those of us who OVERanalyze ourselves (that’s ME!) and often paralyze ourselves in the process.

I agree with you, that specific comments about our positive traits would be helpful. So often I can get specific about my FLAWS, but when it comes to something positive, I can’t think of anything specific that I like about myself.

I need to work on that. :P

LOL

I mean, I always thought that those were thiings that only teenagers thought off.

Because everytime I say something like that to my mom she just tell me to shut up and keeps saying “It’s just a phase, that phase is the worst, your sister went there, too.”

That really annoys me.

But at the same time, I always thought that she was right, that those feelings and thoughts would go away in time.

Now you just putted me in doubt.

I simply hate when people tell me things like “you’re perfect!” “OMG, your grades at school are amazing! I wish I could be like you!”
Why? Because that doesn’t tell me ANYTHING. That just make me think “right… what’s so special about that? I don’t even have a boyfriend. ”

I prefer people that only say good things about me that are truly unique and that make me know what’s really good about being me. Like… “you can express yourself so well while writing!” “You can always think so clearly and without put too much emotion into your thoughts!” (those were the only two things I remember being told to me. )

And because I know what’s wrong about me, and I prefer people who tell me that even joking with me, than people that while I say that I’m bad at something, just tell me “shut up! you’re not!”

Well, that was all. I will keep writing until tomorrow if I don’t stop now.

Ok, could ya stop rubbing it in already? :-w

He doesn’t talk about other women’s parts, and I rather prefer it that way. lol

I am guilty of passing judgement too quickly at times, and at other times I just “get it” right off the bat and find out later that I was right about that person. The problem I have the most, though, is passing judgement on myself.

And I’m TRYING to grow thicker skin, too, btw. ;) That’s not the simplest thing in the world.

Oh yeah…and if I tried to make a “positive” list about myself, I’d end up saying, “I do this well, BUT….” *sigh* So I usually just don’t try. :P
