ok lets be real

i got flaws like a mother fuck

im entirely insecure

constantly wondering whether people like me

its exhausting frankly

but this is all pretty obvious to anyone who knows me

i need constant love

and assurance of love

im way too sensitive to be on this planet

and yet

here i



reside

im depressed alot of the time

but ofte

oh, i also have a really bad habit about not being able to take a compliment, it drives my friends crazy. they will compliment me about something and i will disagree and try and talk them into seeing it my way. friends have screamed "JUST TAKE THE FUCKING COMPLIMENT" at me more than a few times for that.

Okay, you're hitting on so many of mine it's scary

I can NEVER just say "thank you" & let it die, I have to shit on it somehow b/c it makes me more comfortable to take myself down a notch I think I know where it comes from actually, a childhood incident w/ a friend where I felt I had to apologize for doing well @ something. The shit is still with me

i was shaking like a leaf. if bob had not kept on my ass calling every few minutes to make sure i wasn't gonna wuss out and run, i probably would have. and thank god i did not... turned out very well for me.

it really annoys friends of mine too. i can take the stage in front of hundreds of strangers and not even break a sweat. but the moment i am around a person or two i dont know and have to be myself, i mentally hide under the table and pretend to have gone mute.

Yeah, I'm fine on stage too.

You hit the nail on the head. . . "have to be myself". . . In my case, though, I wouldn't relate it to self-esteem. I like me just fine. But. . . see, I don't need other people to like me, but I want them to UNDERSTAND me. If people are gonna like or not like me, I want it to be based on who I really am. Trying to convey that is stressful and exhausting.

Everybody at the NY invasion obviously loved you. I'm glad you went.

I am very aware of my flaws.

I have tons of what I consider to be physical flaws and a few character flaws that need work to be worked on too.

see i dont regret being too sensitive

cause the world in my estimation is too insensitve

i dont regret wanting love cause

love is there to want

i regret nothing about myself that alows me

to learn

and grow

take the new and re

lease the

old

Yes! I embrace my flaws just as I do my virtues, they are part of me and I love myself just as I am. Bitch and all
