    I was inspired by Rat's post.

    Do you like you?

    Are you a nice person? melodramatic? angry? are you happy with yourself?

    I like me most days. I wish I wasn't as shy and introverted as I am but I'm working on it.

    I also am shy and sometimes introverted, which people OFTEN mistake as me being rude or snobby. So I have to work on that. But I am a very nice, friendly person and I like who I am.

    Most times I can live with myself theses days. I could do better making myself more available to those of my family as well as my neighbors. I'm somewhat self absorbed, unfortunately. As wonderfuly loving, giving and caring as I am, I realise that I'm also selfish, egotistical, and somewhat out of reach for many people, even when it is I'm in thier space. I could stand to be taken down a notch or two.

    Yeah I do, way more than when I was a dub that's for sure. I'm kind of rough around the edges and just spit out how I feel most times. Some people like that about me but some are taken back by it.. so its something I need to be more aware of and I'm working on it.

    For the first time in a long time, I am truly happy with who and what I am. "If I die today, I'm happy with how my life turned out." I am good with my mental/emotional progress and the fact that I struggle and am not complacent. 4 out of 7 days I exercise, have discovered the joys of sex and cigars and just being myself. I love that I can be myself without fear of censorship. I have finally learned to accept relationships that are good and not subject them to my skewed and imposed morality. I like that its okay to be myself. Its all good

    Since I have discovered JWD I have taken a long look at my past and it has forced me into taking a look at myself too and I don't really like what I see.

    I am such a negative person, nothing is ever right and I get angry very easily.

    I have also become very introvert to the extent of not particularly wanting to speak to people apart from close friends and my family.

    I need to do a lot of work on my personality, but I will get there.

    I like the person that I have created from the shambles of a life gratefully put down long ago. I think that is all the answer i have. Havent posted in a while...this one caught my eye...

    Yes, I like who I am now far more than I did a few years ago. I am no longer trying to live up to anyone else's standards, just my own.
