hi sun:) guess my post was pretty general and obtuse..no one knows WHAT in the HECK i was sayin..lol..let's see. i was referring to when i would sort of complement or give myself credit for something aloud, around another person or people.
i don't do this often at all, but whenever i *do* do it, i always feel this negative vibe from others. like they think i think i'm great, when really i don't..that's why i was saying it in the first place..to try to boost my self-esteem or perhaps try to convince the other person that i have worth. i more often feel 'unworthy' when depressed. and i usually get depressed when under extreme, unrelenting stress, which is most of the time...:)
so i've decided to just quit doing that. i guess i'm being a bit hard on myself cause i'm usually pretty modest.
<is that what you young ones are calling it today???!!!???
sunny i'm not that much younger than you dear!!!:-) but thanks sweety..i appreciate any comments implying that i still have a vestige of youthfulness.:) i shall cherish them...for eternity.:)
