Self Image or How you see yourself - Page 4

Cicero · 08-20-2007, 11:32 AM

I love me!!! Me Me Meeee!!!!
This weird thing is happening with my self image lately though. I think I'm skinny, but I look at a photograph of myself and I'm fat. It's weird.......a friend of mine is coming into town soon. She'll tell me the truth. Just because my perspective on myself is askew doesn't mean I don't think I'm awesome.
Do you know how brave you have to be- just to be me? You'd be amazed.

I don't quite want to be me yet
But I'm working on it

Spexxvet · 08-20-2007, 11:55 AM

Good to hear from you SG. I miss you around here.

kerosene · 08-27-2007, 11:37 AM

Cicero, the same thing is true for me. I brush it off as a camera/mirror error. The camera makes me fat and the mirror makes me skinny. I am somewhere in between in reality. Reflections in windows are just completely wrong...probably someone else on the other side of the window.

I must be delusional.

Some days I'm all like:

people see me
I'm a challenge
to your balance
I'm over your heads
I confound you
and astound you too
I must be one of the wonders
God's own creation
and as far as you see you can offer me
no explanation

Other days I'm like:

I suck worse then the suckiest sucking sucker on the planet.

that's powerful stuff

My affect is alot like Drew Barymore's. I don't think that is a compliment either. I'd rather be Kat Von D from LA Ink. Someone chocolate to my vanilla.

Anyway, She not only seems like a really nice person she is a great artist as well.

I have a huge crush on her.

voted most likely to:

trip in high heels

get my sweater caught on the door knob

I attract the elderly,kids and crazy or m/r people and hippys.

I don't attract uber- cool people.

It was the last statement you made. Mine was the correct assessment.
A tail-poster is one who posts at the end of a thread they have not read.
You don't know what you are talking about, as usual.

lumberjim · 09-18-2007, 03:04 PM

you cannot read

Spexxvet · 09-18-2007, 03:05 PM

What?

Flint · 09-18-2007, 03:06 PM

Maybe it's not a matter of not being able to read, it's a matter of being off-topic? It has to be one of those two.

Wow....screwy. I wondered what was so easy about coming here lately.
