Self Image or How you see yourself

lumberjim · 08-18-2007, 01:02 AM

Do you approve of yourself? Are you one to be admired? Are you defective in some way? Would you trade places with most people you meet?

Just who the hell do you think you are?

I am I MON !!!

I've felt every single way on the poll, at one point or another...but usually #'s 1, 2, and 4.

Feeling like #3 isn't good for me, because that means I've come across someone who really freaks me out.

What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.

The job where I am now served it's purpose but it's ran it's course. It is time for a change. I'm bored. What's next.

manephelien · 08-18-2007, 09:18 AM

Being me is okay.

I am what I am, that's all that I am, I'm Popeye the sailor man!!! Toot, TOOT.

Cloud · 08-18-2007, 10:58 AM

as much as I don't like myself sometimes, I'd rather be me than switch places with most people

DanaC · 08-18-2007, 11:23 AM

Yeah, I feel that way too Cloud.

Elspode · 08-18-2007, 12:26 PM

I have days when I don't want to be me...or anyone, for that matter. But overall, on the whole, I'm actually pretty fucking full of myself.

08-18-2007, 03:03 PM

I would rather be me than most people i meet.
I work on it every day.
One think most have issues with is, with matters of integrity, I do not feel a need to take other's emotions into consideration.
Some take issue with that.
I think it's childish.

Admired, etc, there is no way for me to get into another's head...so I would never presume to answer a question like that.
Many of my students have said very kind things to me and I have plaques and the like saying very grand things... I take them with a grain of salt. They credit me with things they did themselves. Sure, with my guidance, but only with that, that they have trouble seeing that has always confused me.
This issue in the West of feeling good about ourselves, feeling proud of our accomplishments, taking compliments that are due and accepting aptitude is really sad and I discourage it among my students.
