Go on… why :slight_smile: ?

There are things about myself that I really hate, but there are also things that I think are pretty good.

Oh, we used to discuss this at work a lot. People who were dishonest or untrustworthy were likely to see everyone else as untrustworthy, too - people project their own characteristics onto others. It’s surprising how true it is.

I don’t think it is exactly the same. It may be related though.

I genuinely like people. I think they’re very funny and pretty strange but mostly endearing. However they can also be really annoying and sometimes I’d prefer to be alone. Hmm

I think people are all broken and beautiful, and a surprisingly large number of them feel totally alone, even when surrounded by friends.

Yeah, this exercise is quite accurate.

I think I’m too hard on myself.
Bit I also think that I’m the life of the party, charming, and better looking than anyone else on here including the woman.

So obviously I’m delusional so whatever I really think of myself is wrong.

I think I am good looking, (for my age), low average intelligence, high average creativity, too quick emotional reactivity, too slow physical reactivity, very strong will and perseverance, good self esteem (and all due to God), isolative, hard of hearing, and loathe to wear hearing devices.

I don’t really agree with formulaic ideas like “what we think of others is what we think of ourselves”, or ideas like “you tend to not trust others when you yourself are untrustworthy”.
I am brutally honest when it comes to people, but am also encouraging toward them and enjoy “lifting people up”. I believe I myself am a disappointment: under-achieved and damaged. But, I am honest and trustworthy, while I absolutely do not trust others…
I am a person of faith, and delusional. I have immense strength, and will shatter into pieces if you point out out my faults. I will stand up for you and not back down, but hope I don’t have to because I really don’t want to get involved.
I am old, so I am many things.

I’m loyal.

Of the many things a person may be in life, I am not a loser. I don’t give up and it’s hard to fail when the game was designed for you.

I feel as though maybe the thought was "what you think of others more highly reflects upon yourself"
I will never be trapped by this statement. ^^.
But it goes to show you that their are people who intentionally act certian ways to get reactions.

People say, so much potential in you
I say creative energy’s being sucked away
People say, "i know you understand"
Comprehend-Understand… Both Cowards.
Now I say the earth agrees with me…
its not your place to speak or assume.

That I’m a bit delusional about myself

I’m insationally curious and have a need to understand my environment.
Imagine my surprise when I learned others didn’t think the same.
