> That's a perfectly good excuse, pseudoname
Thanks, Dek. As I think I've mentioned to you before, that's really all I want out of life.
I guess I shouldn't talk about self-esteem here because my problems with it are not any kind of natural deficit. I am moderately confident of my abilities, such as they are.
What looks like my poor self-esteem is, I think, just fiendish, crazy, intrusive, obsessive self-criticism that somehow carries with it the glory of Real Truth. Take that away and I'd be as healthfully biased as the next 41-year-old under-employed twerp.
All I need is an excuse that's good enough to drown out the insane criticism in my head. (It would have to be believable to other people, too.)
