- - self critical
The truth (to me) is that I have very little respect for myself, and until I fix that and learn to genuinely love things about myself, I'm going to be bewildered when someone else claims to love me.
In my experience, people like me around because:
- I put off a "naive" and easily-impressed energy
- I'm a hard worker
- I like to please people, & if you're a critical type I'll want to impress you
- I go out of my way to help
- I can be easily guilted
- - self critical
Just to be clear, this is what I'm seeing at the moment, in this particular "bein' hard on myself" mood that I'm in.
I'm sure there are pleasant things about me too (I know I can be cute and charming in a dorkily endearing way), but this stuff is also true, even if it's at a more "deep down, uncomfortable shadow self" kinda level.
