your strong points?...do people compliment you on something and you wonder inside what it is they see that you don't?...or do you know exactly what they're talking about?..

I mean, come on...I can't even spell.

I know my strong points and weaknesses. But the funny thing is, is that a lot of people compliment me on stuff, that are actually my weaknesses, but I fake them as my strengths and apparently pull it off.
Make sense?

I pretty much know all of my strong points and my downfalls. I generally agree with other's opinions of me.
Of course, I'm really good at hiding my downfalls. My closest friends might not think that's so true, but damn, you gotta get pretty close to me for me to allow you to see that out of me.

I have a good sense of self awareness I feel. Although I have a tendency to brood upon my weaknesses more than I am embrace my strengths. I always feel good about myself when folks say amiable things about me. That's natural to everyone.

I have been told a lot that I am a strong person for turning out so good after having shitty parents.. I don't see it. I am just human.. we all do what we have to so we can survive..

i think that is how most people are. unless you're overly egotistical most people don't see themselves as anything special.... when really we all are.

Thanks girl.. and I know that you are a great mom.. no second guessing that my friend..

Maybe I will be one of those someday if I get my life straightened out and find someone who would make a good dad to my child..

people often compliment me on being on top of things and very put together when really i'm not. i always wonder where they get that idea from.

a combination of both factors
